I found out that Super Rooster Tails make a nice smallie bait and invested $50 bucks on an assortment of them. Trying some new waters next week, heading out past Nashville to fish the Caney Fork Tailwater for trout for a few days and then trying a new stretch of the Buffalo River.

Nice paint job

We have remembered and honored those that lost it all. And we have stopped them from doing it again for 14 years. I do think we have accomplished something from all of it.

Last year I bought a new layout boat. Paddles like a 12' sit inside kayak, but is flat and stable enough to sit on rails and paddle. I can stock it with a couple of bags of decoys and still paddle. I posted a review on here with pics.

Following birds shifts weight and you will rock if free floating in open water. Works best if you can push it up into weeds or muck to stabilize. I doubt if poles will help much. We use them to tie off to in wind. The pamlico is a 12 foot boat like yours but still has side to side rocking. You can still kill birds but have to compensate for the extra movement. Second shot is worse.

I have done it for years from a sit inside 12 foot Wilderness System Pamlico. I buy a sheet of leafy camo from Wally World and cut a split out in center for the cockpit. I poke the handles in front and back thru it and pull it the sides into the boat when paddling so it does not drag. A few more pieces of burlap covers up the rest and me. The shotgun sits in front of me and I usually carry a few doz decoys strapped to the back. It does get kinda squirrely shooting from it, and you will miss a few ducks because of it.

Its hit and miss there. Spring is good for crappie and bluegill. August is good for cats off the points. Never really did much good with bass, just small ones. Trolling deep in the middle should have gotten a striper, but they are few and far between.

Floating Greer to 142 next weekend. Help
jdmidwest replied to CartneyAccess's topic in Eleven Point River
Are you planning to float the whole way in one weekend? River is flowing good and you will move along fast. But I don't think I would plan on the whole float in 2 days. When fishing, I would break that trip into 3 days or more. -
Poor year for tomatoes here. Not much to speak for hear. Squash and cucumbers came and went with the black fungus. Lots of fungus, so we this year and humid. Pole beans made great vines, but did not produce a bean. Honey crop was a dud too. 2 hives out of 14 produced a surplus. What they made was too high in moisture content and has to be refrigerated to keep from fermenting.

I have a mint condition Kel Tec PM 9, pre Ruger that I would trade you even for that Winchester Shotgun. It is the original compact 9 that Ruger copied to make the LC 9, it has a factory belt slide clip and spare mag, I will even toss in a holster or two along with the factory box and some vintage 9mm brass casing fired from the pistol.

I like a hot sunny day when they are near the top. Cast in front or to the side, they will attack most of the time with a sidewards sweeping motion.

Dropshotting is more precise than just jigging. Your bait is suspended at the depth you tie it on the line above the weight. The weight is on the bottom, the bait is suspended above at the same distance all of the time. You are putting it in the zone that the fish are suspended based on your graph, and keeping it there. Jigging is just guesswork unless you are tapping the bottom and jerking up x amount of distance, consistantly.

Acting played a big part in both of his careers.....

Global warming! Armadillos are pushing them with their noses northward.

I guess it was, They Live. For some reason I was thinking Them.

Bass Pro is now making their own Shad Raps. They are slightly smaller than the 5's I use normally and about 3 bucks cheaper. I picked up a few today while I was in STL. Gonna give them a spin on the Buffalo River in TN tomorrow.

"Them" was actually a pretty good movie. He had a major role in that one.

Copperheads are usually found in pairs based on my findings. I don't think they are social or pack critters. Just random luck, you see one, you look sharper from then on, and find others. They have pretty good camo.

Just read that the wrestle Roddy Piper has gotten the big sleeper hold. I remember the days, wrestling on KPLR. Roddy, Rick Flair, Andre, and others provided more entertainment than any of todays crap TV show spit out. There were many hours of amusement in my adolesent years watching their antics. They were usually on around the time of Benny Hill. Those were the days.

Nice paint job, but will they work as good as gold/black? Have you tried the ones with the shallow lips? I love those for runs of fast water.
-
Lots of spiders and webs. I have been knotted up in webs more than usual.
-
I use the Palomar knot for lures, Cinch knot for flies and small hooks. I use the Surgeons knot for leader to tippet connections. I use a Blood knot to splice 2 lines.
-
They are fun little boats for ponds. You can pack them in, blow them up, fish, deflate, and pack out. I have used them of several MDC ponds that are located far away from a road to pack a kayak or canoe into by myself.

Bait and switch, an old fishermans trick.
