What was he doing lying there naked taking pics?

7 am on Sunday, the water temp was 88 degrees in the small lake in TN I was fishing. The water was warmer than the air and you could feel it. Sat. lead to heat stroke and exhaustion on the TN River below Pickwick. High sun, no shade, no breeze. Water temps were 82 and the fish were stagnant. But the casting arm got a workout. I was whipped when we turned in at 11pm that night. 2 dinks for the day. But the grandson loved it.

You would think that to be true. Local MDC rents and provides john boats. During duck season, there is a boat at every spot for your use in pit blind areas. If you put a gas motor on them, it needs to have a tag on it. I suppose if you are from a state that does not tag outboards, you could be legal. But I have seen tickets written for it there. And, if you are of age that needs it, they will check for boater safety card also. Depends on how pissy they are at the time.

25 years ago, they tried to hand me a title app. Both of my motors from Illinois had titles, but they did not sticker them like Missouri does.
-
Illinois titles everything, kayaks and maybe even trolling motors. My first kayak came from Illinois and they had a title app waiting for me at the register, showed MO license and away I went. I think MO even did trolling motors at one time, I have seen some with stickers. Nice thing about MO DMV, if you have an issue with one office, you can go somewhere else. I have been to a few good ones and consistent with good service. I will never go back to a crowded one that is a pain or rude to deal with.

Don't know about Arkansas, but I have transferred 2 from Illinois and 1 from Tn. Illinois was easy, all titled. Tn needed a copy of the registration card they issue to owners like our paper sheet when you apply for tag on boat. Theirs is a card that fits in wallet. Bill of sale from the state you are buying from filled out at time of purchase and the boat, motor, trailer title should get you thru.

Any of you species guys have a Great White on your list?
jdmidwest replied to Quillback's topic in General Angling Discussion
I like the whites in a 2-3 lb range. A Great White would probably be a Striper...... -
The kids that grew up raised in Alaska by a friend that has lived there since High School would fight over the dark fatty layer when we filleted salmon. They would chunk it out and eat it raw. May be good, never tried it. Did try Sushi one time, never again.

I seldom ever catch a crappie, so I honestly don't remember how they taste. Last mess I had was probably in early 90's from Wappappello Lake. White bass are good, had several good bunches from TN this year when they were running. Nice firm sweet filets, lightly dusted and fried golden brown. You don't need a thick crust on them to give them flavor.
-
Lots of white bass and none in the creel. Someone needs to learn how to eat them. Looks like a pretty good weekend.

I have attached a link to the FS new CMRP for the Eleven Point River FYI. Even has an FAQ Section. https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/mtnf/landmanagement/planning/?cid=fseprd926245 Still looking it over. But it is the current management plan for the river I love so well. Enjoy

Caney has trout for several miles below the Center Hill Dam all year long. We took the jet boat down and fished it for a way down below the dam. We motored up below the dam and fished a spot where the Lake leaks thru the bluff on the north side of the dam. It was a hotspot, not accessable by wading and nobody there running a boat. They had never seen a bead head. That was the trip that I broke the tooth and chewed the hole in my tongue in my sleep. Nice area to explore. A few years later, we did the Cordell Hull trip and run up the Caney from the Cumberland. We grounded out bad, stuffed the boat good. Lucky for us, they turned the pumps on and we floated off to keep fishing. Lower end has some smallies. The whole river is pretty skinny unless they are running a generator. Had to watch that pretty close.

Snake head in Missouri
jdmidwest replied to dan hufferd's topic in General Angling Discussion Archives
Off to the spillway this weekend, looks like they are runiing. -
The Caney Fork below Center Hill is similar to MO tailwaters in a smaller scale. You will pass it on I 40 in places. Wadeable and float stream. Another in the Hurricane Mills area, but it is mostly a winter area. I have never fished it during the warmer months. Loretta Lynns Place is a good stopover to break up the drive.

Not only Grateful, but willing to give their lives for it. Back then, it was a much better country to fight for....

I knock down a few beers. I did do the pouches when I fished. But, I broke a tooth and cut a sore into my tongue. It was infected before the dentist could get me in. He fixed the tooth, but sore never healed. Cells in the mouth are fast growing and something mutated one. Was it the beer, tobacco, coffee, x ray from dentist,, cell phone stuck to my head all time, ultra processed foods, radiation from all the monitors I look at, sunspots, etc. My Oncologist just said pure dumb luck, when I asked him the cause. And I ride with that, never will know the actual cause. I have moved cell phones away from my head since whenever possible. Head and Neck cancers are growing in numbers and I really think they are a possible factor. We have had all the other factors for a long time. But who is ever going to regulate those in this cell phone society?

You should play the part well, just lay there and look normal. Nature has already done the rest.....

Doubt if Proctologists ever use hemastats during medicinal practice... -

Sounds pretty Ominous, but it is a term they use to define it. In reality, its just another area to go after it, and they will. They watched my lungs for 2 years thinking it was the next place of travel after round 2. Second time around was actually stage 3 or 4 for me. It travelled from the tongue where the cells mutated originally into a lymph node other side of neck and 16 months had passed since surgical removal. It may have been stage 2, muscle to lymphatic system. Not sure of the terms for stages. First step was removal and biopsy of nodes on that side with the new tumor. No sign in surrounding ones, but the cancer had perforated the node I found it in. Then became the shotgun approach, Nuke everything around the area on both sides to kill faster mutating cells that could be cancer. I did the CT scans for 2 years and dealt with the shadows and stuff the body makes in the lungs that look like cancer tumors but were not. Then they cut me loose. They have a plan for any method of treatment. Hope it works for you.

They do not decompose very quickly. Have one stuck in wiper frame going on 2 weeks, came off in car wash finally.
