I fish TN tailwaters alot. Pickwick Dam is under rehab now, there is an area of concern where it may fail in a major earthquake on one area. Center Hill has a unique area we found trout to be gathered in, looked like a spring coming out of the base of a bluff. But, water from the lake above had worked its way around the dam on the bluff side and made a hole. I don't think there was a plan to fix that, but the other side was going thru a rehab in the earthen part. The dam above Center Hill created a big gusher thru a bluff that made a nice waterfall too. Best way to avoid any issues, just don't live downstream. I have seen many get flooded out along the Mississippi River over the year and the only fault is that they picked a poor place to build a house.

The overflow spillway worked like it was supposed to. I don't think they worried that the Corps were ever gonna lose Wappappello Dam though. It almost went over in 1999, but they sandbagged it and raised the level on the main dam wall instead.

As long as you are "Clark", you are on our page.

There you go, I have never been North of I-70, drove it one time, may have pulled over on the north side to take a leak. But never ventured far from it. That is, once it leaves St. Louis and St. Charles.

That is what I see on my end. His auto correct is messed up.

The simplicity of the bait is the ability to use what is already in your box. I have used both cut Zinkers and the pre-made ones. I think the cut ones catch more fish, only because the Z Man has not come out with the secret colors that work.

I give up, he surely means BPS?

Peters Boat Shop? PBS?? Nothing wrong with Academy Sports, they were the only one brave enough to test the market in our area.

I think Cabelas bought them out years ago when they were a large mail order catalog business. They went away for a while, then came back as retail stores. Funny how most of the majors started out as catalog mail order businesses with one home based retail shop. Cabela's, Bass Pro, Herter's, Gander Mountain all started that way.

Interesting. I have a couple extra of those buttons. Time to google wireless fog lights.

I could wire some backup lights into the trailer, I have 2 spare wires now since I rewired it after the mouse. Point them down and it would illuminate the ground too. I like that idea. I swapped out the reverse bulbs with the new hi intensity led bulbs from Auto Zone, I think that was money down the drain, can't see an increase. I could wire new lights like driving lights and put them on a switch. Turn them on when I need it. That light would work with any thing I pull and have to back up. I know the little boat and trailer is a pain on duck ramps backing it up too. But then I usually have a spotter.

New trailer is narrower and all black, old one was wider with white fenders. It does not show up as well. Plenty of marker lights now after evicted mouse and fixed wiring. I think I could wire leds into backup wiring an make them work, they don't pull a lot of amps.

Ok, the eyes are getting older and the boat trailer is getting longer. What does everyone do to increase rear vision when backing up trailers? I have a long driveway shrouded by trees, and it is usually late at night coming home with the new boat and trailer. I need something bright to light up the rear so I can see driveway better. The Sequoia has too many blind spots, small mirrors, and too old for backup camera standard. What do I need, night vision?

I have seen them fly, not much time to yell "pull" before they whack you in the head, much less draw a bead. Lucky so far, never been hit, most jump away from boat. But they run rampant on the Mississippi feeder streams I have been on. Reelfoot has them also. So far, not a problem in TN River.

All this is true. Bees carry chemicals back into hives and they build up in wax. I have been treatment free and don't use chemicals in hives. I have tried to keep down pests by management and non chemical things like that swiffer pad. I am bringing in new genetics this spring that are mite resistant. I am spraying they ground around hives to kill beetles before new ones arrive.

I carry a stick of the JBweld putty in the jet boat for minor gashes. Goes on wet. Cures in water.

The QB leads the team and sets the pace. Then the Coach calls the plays. Whatever happened, nothing seemed to work for Atlanta after the first half.

But real onions take more effort. It takes the right kind of soil. Carrots are the same critter. I fished my way thru waterfowl season this year. Bringing back the old traditions that were before my buddy introduced me to watching the sky waiting for things to come down. Before I started duck hunting in the 90's, I was a 12 month a year fisherman. I am still trying to do that. But with a splattering of ducks here and there to break up the routine.

I am sure they will remember the Atlanta QB. The only QB to lose a Superbowl in 51 years with a 10+ point lead at the half. He has set a new bar.

The frames had been slimed and filled with maggots, aka SHB larva. They were so nasty, the bees moved out of the hive and stayed there. I burned them, not worth the time and money to clean them up. I sprayed the ground with permethrin but did not have any barriers in place. The wet late summer we had was a breeding ground for the beetle larva. Normally the ground under the hive dries out and is hard during that time of year. Beetle larva do not survive when they hit the ground. Other beekeepers in the area had a bad year with them, none as bad as me. It seems like shade was a factor, my yard has shade 1/2 the day. Full sun seems to keep beetles down too.

Nope, its a new turd pond. Armored to prevent flooding into the river. http://archive.oa.mo.gov/fmdc/dc_contracts/ifb/X1424-03_ifb.pdf

MDC stocked them, traded turkeys or rattle snakes for them. They created them again, kinda.

You do know most of the St Francis Mountain chain near you are created by Volcanic activity. That thin spot in the crust may open up again with a big earthquake on the New Madrid Fault.

The land the railways run on are from Federal Land Grants for access. Rail Companies own the tracks. They are essentially easements that can't be blocked or impeded.

If they only made one for streams, sturdy enough to bounce off a few rocks like a jet boat, then I would own one. Have thought seriously many times about a Mokai, Kayak with a Jet Ski motor.
