Wrench - I am talking smaller derbies like AIA or Joe Bass. Most of the folks that play LOSE money. I just don't get it. If you have a full time job and fish on the side it is considered a hobby which limits your ability to write off various deductions.
-
So few on the smaller circuits make any real money. Most in fact donate substantial (to me anyway) amounts of money to say they are a tourney angler. Must be an ego thing unless one has throw away cash.
-
Apparently I zipped right past the obvious.

What month/days are you talking?
-
Be interested to know the fish batter recipe. Always looking to try something new

Worst side effect to prescriptions is an empty wallet

Always used a soft brush and a sink of water with some Dawn dish soap in it to clean up my cork rod handles. Is there a better method?
-
Those will work!!

From the title I expected a thread on Border issues.

Most salmon isn't scaled. By cooking the flesh side first you can finish with the scales on the bottom and add any glaze/seasoning without fear of picking up some scales. Ready to plate unless you choose to remove the skin first.

I suppose this is closer to hunting/shooting than fishing. From a TV point of view I wish they'd show a FFS tourney at the same time as a non-FFS tourney on the same lake and see which had better ratings.

Happy Birthday Phil!!!! I'm exactly 2 years behind you today.

The variety of river fishing. Looks like a fun trip
-
Lots of noises for fish to contend with. Graphs, TM, hydrowave, voices, music, outboards, and on and on. I think the FFS guys use the "fish are getting scared of it" line to minimize the tremendous fish catching impact FFS has. I've heard guys say I'd still catch them without FFS. They might, but there are a lot of fish they'd never known were there and never casted to that they caught with FFS.
-
The smoke plenty at low temp. I also add a smoke tube for a little extra.
-
Just turn on the Hydrowave to counteract the FFS
-
Professional fishing only for the tough!
DADAKOTA replied to pjlures's topic in General Angling Discussion
To understand the financial, mental and physical demands of a full time tourney angler, one would need to step into their shoes for a season. The body takes a beating on those long boat rides and standing on the TM for hours on end. Then you figure all the drive time, maintenance and upkeep on all the equipment, boats, vehicle, etc. Then all the time spent getting and keeping sponsors happy. Then you still need to keep the family happy. -
A blast from the past

And back we go to the right and left. Politicians need to start working for the people of this Country and not trying to make their fortune through an elected position. Term limits are long past being needed. Work toward a solution and quit painting everything red or blue. Continually pointing fingers at the left and right accomplishes nothing.

Can someone please explain the plan to generate enough electricity to power this Country if all the fossil fuel generating plants are shut down? Nuke? Wind, solar, and hydro can't produce enough. Read that some want to eliminate the hydros as well. Wind and solar are not economical on a big scale hence all the supplements/credits Uncle Sugar hands out. Where are the EVs going to get their juice when we can't produce enough power for all other needs? Get China and India and others to control their CO2 emissions. Good luck with that.

Lilley's Lake Taneycomo fishing report, July 1
DADAKOTA replied to Phil Lilley's topic in Upper Lake Taneycomo
that is a good one. Too bad it did not survive. Should make some great smoked trout though. -
Always love to read your trip summaries Al.

Helped out many years with the St. Louis Sports Guild event out at a private lake in Wright City. We'd clean/cook the fish for lunch with the kids. Wonderful event. Good luck with yours. So rewarding.

What are you listening to?
DADAKOTA replied to Bushbeater's topic in New News and General Discussion
Saw Jackson Browne in the late 70s. One of my favorite concerts. Been listening to Home Free (Country Acapella) and Foxes and Fossils (the best cover band I've ever heard) via Youtube. -
