  1. Sorry, internet was sporadic this weekend at the farm, only 2 targets loaded. And, I use 10" targets to sight in, not the dinky ones you were using. 1" was really distorted.
  2. That's a scattergun. Try a heavier bullet and see what it does. Move those scope mounts out a notch so they clear ejection port too. Check that everything is tight.
  3. Little 4 stroke Merc would do wonders for it. Nice little river jet....
  4. Its amazing that most rely on anything other than the NWS forecast. Why bother with any others that put their opinion on it. I have been watching it for years, usually spot on. First budget cut took out the beta website that NWS was using to replace the old mobile site https://beta.weather.gov/ . It was pretty good. I use an app that feeds off the NWS direct and it works. NOAA Weather app by Pandamonium Software, has some detailed hour by hour numbers. And I can make favorites and cycle between the areas I travel for more details without plugging in the zip code for each like the NWS site. As far as radar goes, MY Radar app seems to be the most real time, better than the NWS one which has some lag time. Was laying in bed the nite at the farm watching the tornado that formed just south of it as it traveled from over 60 miles away.
  5. A little short shaft 25 hp Mercury 4 Stroke would only take a 1" aluminum tube spacer between top of transom and mount to plane well I am guessing. Then he would have a jet boat. Sell the yammy to pay for it all....
  6. Been 7 years since I made that Trip. Looks like a lively crowd. Be well, fish on.
  7. I have been on the water twice this year, too much other stuff and rain, tornado's, floods. Mushrooms crapped out quick here, 1 flush, 1 weekend, then weather hit 80. Looked around after that, but nothing. 80 degrees seems to be a killer for morels.
  8. So what kind of plant got her all fuzzed up when you lost it?
  9. Longshaft. Goofy little console and no real seating. All sets too far back, how does it plane? Probably need to run it and see how it rides. Assume open deck with all the ribs, no flooring. $3500
  10. Sounds like an important plant, did it have 5 leaves and smell kinda skunky? Like this??
  11. I have fished one Tourney in my life, buddy suckered me in at Terre Du Lac one day. $25 entry and it took all the fun out of the day. Winner was a local that pulled up to his dock on the lake and filled his live well with bass he had been collecting. Because he always wins it and nobody knows why.... It has never made me want to watch a tourney, fish a lake because of it, buy anything because a pro used it to win one. I check schedules and avoid the lakes if there is one coming when I want to fish it. Drop down in the river below and catch more fish without the crowds.
  12. There you go, lets all start eating bass. White worms and all....
  13. Duck or Goose burger??
  14. We have surpassed the 80 degree mark here and no fresh moisture. Nothing popped up here this week.
  15. Still too early here, frost last weekend. Temps have been having a 40 degree spread this week.
  16. Planted 2 rows of sweet corn, taters, horseradish, onions and garlic back March when the tornado came thru. It's all coming up well. Raised beds have lettuce and spinach, snow peas all coming along fine. Strawberries are setting berries. Asparagus beds not doing much. I think they burned up last summer in dry spell.
  17. Giving him crap about something is easy enough.
  18. Nice catch. I dealt with numbnuts all day and looking at rain for my 3 day weekend. Yeah.....
  19. He does have a point about that MGD, you need to try it sometime.
  20. I saw that advertised and thought it looked good. My buddy is at Warsaw this week, but I was cleaning up flood damage at the farm. I thought a fly fishing expo in that area kinda of odd, normally you see that in the heart of trout country. Most associate fly fishing with cold waters.
  21. You put soft plastics together in tackle box, they start degraded in one lump of goo. Zman melted a seat cover on a boat in a few minutes
  22. Friend sent this of hatchery from road
  23. Mine were just popping up, gonna let them grow some
  24. Made it into farm today after 8" of rain. Bridge held up, not a "RECORD" flood this time. Had to cut off rootwad. Finish the job next weekend, hopefully not sleeting then...
