Sitting here watching a little tv. How its made did a segment on braided line, thought it was interesting.

I grew up fishing the New and Greenbrier rivers. River fish simply aren't the same as lake fish. Pay attention and look under some rocks along the shore, if the crayfish are out of hibernation then finesse jig like a bitsy bug with a craw trailer. You'll want one with a subtler action. 4 inch grub baits are always good on the river just work it much slower, I've had allot of success in mild current in winter by letting the grub hover off the bottom and letting the current move the tail, work it from the head of the current downstream by letting slack carrying it away from you. It might take an hour to cover the water by letting the grub slip down stream. Finally with river smallies any time is a good time for a Rebel Pop R. I've caught them while it was snowing on Pop R's

Like AJ and his bride I'm retired U.S. Coast Guard, even same MOS as AJay. Semper Paratus. AJay were you pushing boots in 1987?

Thanks for the responses. I need to get out fishing

Typically water cools down into high 50's low 60's. Maybe even warmer there on the coastal plain. The fish here seem to turn on when water cools into mid lower 70's.

Skinny fishin' hole

Hey everyone its been awhile since I've posted anything and even longer since I've been fishing! Has anyone fished Clark's Hill, Murray, Marino or Wylie lately? I'm wondering if I've missed the fall bite. I have a Nitro 911 CDC, with an empty backseat I'd anyone would like to go, just pm me or post here.

Glad you found someone to fix it. The original outline was awful. Looks good

Yeah the reaper is my favorite by far. Although many people just don't "get it". It does freak people out from time to time, a cashier at the grocery store was really unnerved, she said "no matter where I stand it's pointing at me". I asked if she was ready cause the reaper catches us all eventually.

Can't get all of the reaper but pretty close. I need to finish inside of arm to make half sleeve. The pirate flag represents my kids. There are hidden initials, birthdays, etc contained within

No fishing related but I have a couple

Glad you found it, after posting this I went to GA's wildlife page and couldn't find it.

Most state dnr's publish float trip distances and times For various rivers on their websites.

I would go to the store and get him a Handy Manny tool set. What's the saying " Jack of all trades but master of none"

I gave up cigarettes about 2 months ago and started smoking a pipe. I do enjoy pipes something relaxing about them. The doctor said they're bad but not nearly as toxic as cigarettes. I find I am smoking less additionally. 15 dollars of tobacco lasts me almost a month. Hopefully within the next couple of months I'll be off of all tobacco products.

I love plinking with rimfire cartridges, I too an fond of Savage. You can get a rifle set up like your deer rifle and they're less expensive to shoot. The mounting trigger pull etc are so similar it really improves your marksmanship. I had a 17hmr and they're a hoot. They're deadly and can take larger game at farther distance than the 22lr

I want to congratulate you on the character you've revealed through this post and I an sorry for your loss.. With all the raw emotions you have now, it is hard to know what to do. Just being close to home will provide more relief for your Mom and Grandmother than you realize. I would encourage you to continue this spring, if you can get the transfer completed by then. Once you leave school and start working the easier it will be to continue working justifying it by the way you'll be assisting financially. That is an easy trap to fall into, good luck and best wishes.

Clayton fwiw I would stay with the Savage line, awesome guns and still American made. Have u thought about re-barrelling the gun you already have? A good Smith can put a high end barrel that would theoretically improve accuracy sometimes drastically. The Savage predator line does come with the accu stock and a great barrel tho, of course the accu trigger is sweet too.

Awfully sad for his little girls. Many prayers sent on their behalf sent.

I was channel surfing yesterday and mythbusters were doing a show on bulletproof items. I won't bore you with all the details, but and this is important; birdshot won't penetrate a pizza carried in one of those delivery bags at 10 feet. I thought I'd pass that along. The loads used was 5 shot high velocity rounds, that translates to 1 3/8 ounce of shot over 3 5/8 dram of powder. That's not bird shot, that's much more powerful and still can't penetrate a insulated bag.

That's great, glad to see it was good news. We'll keep praying the next test is negative too

Fyi Kawasaki made an Indian tribute bike from 1998-2005. Nice looking bikes. The grandson of the founder of Indian motorcycles was very involved in its design and production. Originally they were to be named "Super Chief",they later settled on Drifter. The bikes were so successful that the Indian bikes were reintroduced and can still be bought. So converting the Vulcan isn't that hard as the bikes shared many parts.

Those old huskies never die, awesome ditt bikes. I had a friend who was into the old Indian bikes. He had 8 fully restored some with side cars, some with suicide shift, he even had a bike that was a prototype, serial number 1. When he retired he sold his collection, he lived very comfortably until he passed.
