  1. A friend of mine canned some carp. He got me to taste it. It was puredee nasty.
  2. Do you know if Rock Springs Tackle is open? I have been trying to call them but can’t get through.
  3. Any of you guys live there?

    Asparagus?

    I prefer to have them lightly steamed, but we grill them, bake them, and cut them up and use them in frittatas
  5. I don’t use a hammer when modifying a mold. I tape the item in place with masking tape then go to my largest bench vise. I put the mold in the vice and tighten it down. I also have used JB Weld but lately switched to RTV silicone.
  6. Maybe a Stay in Charge system for your boat is what you need.

    Asparagus?

    I fertilize mine as soon as I quit picking it. When the ferns turn brow I cut them off. I got 18 spears 3 days ago and 32 yesterday.
  8. I keep 2 bottles of Super Glue gel in the boat at all times. One is an unopened backup in the glove box while the other rides in a cup holder beside one of the consoles. I use it for all plastics which contact a jig head. The bottle in the cup holder stays there and has never blown out of the boat on the lake or on the road.
  9. I just got my second one in last week. I did so many mods to my first one that I decided to start over. I have used several different hooks up to 2/0. I prefer a Gamakatsu 1/0 that I got for 60% off on close out at Shorty's Hook Sales.
  10. You may want to try Barlows Tackle in Richardson TX. I just ordered a mold and some keepers from them I got them quickly. I don’t order plastics from them as I make my own, but I assume they would come as quickly as possible.

  12. Excellent condition. No boat rash. $150 local pick up.
  13. Not at all. I went up. I fished between the Virgin bluff and Carrs. All of my fish were around ledgy points. I threw 3 colors of Zeros and caught fish on all of them. Alabama Craw was the best but PBJ was a close second.
  14. I was the third rig at the Cape Fair ramp this morning. When I left there were less than 10. I had a few green fish and some spotted ones. The only bites I could get were on a Zero. Water was 56° to 59°.
  15. I had to go to Stone Co today so I decided to run by Cape Fair. The first lot was full. The new lot above it was full. Many of the marina sites were taken. The west lot and any wide spot around it were taken. There must have been 30 trucks and trailers at the ramp next to Flat Creek Restaurant. I’ve never seen so many units in my life around there. We also must have met at least 20 boats between Cape Fair and Elsie. It
  16. Good to know. Thanks. Mine are from GL era and I’ve never had a problem with them.
  17. Are these rods from the Gary Loomis era or after he sold out?

    Bartering

    A friend of mine is catching smallmouth down by the dam. Like you I like the river. I hope to go tomorrow. I think I will start down around school house or JL hollow. We had some spinner bait and crank bait fish down there a while back. Are there a bunch os white bass chasers between Asher’s and Blunk’s?
  19. It is just about the same thing as we have had here in Greene County already.
  20. Lower lake areas have white bass spawns without shoals. Like Ham stated. When I target them I like to have a consistent wind direction preferably for 3 days In a row then fis those places at night. Buck tail jigs in red/black and purple/orange have been my best producers unless the moon is bright. This has always been a late April or early May thing, way later than the river spawn.
  21. Any of you using one to stabilize a trolling motor? I bought one to support my MK Ulterra with 360. I’m looking for ideas to keep the claw open while stowing it from the console.

    I didn’t know that. I seldom shop Amazon. Did you go to Cape Wednesday?

    I found a guy today who had access to the one thing we have not been able to find in any store ( t p ). I offered to buy some and he knowing that I make baits said he wanted to swap for some heads to fit the swim baits that I had made him. So we worked out a deal. I gave him some 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, and 5/8 oz heads.Now we both have something that we wanted.
  24. With the water that high riffles won’t be anywhere below the 160 bridge.
  25. So how did today go?
