According to this map it’s always raining in Alabama. I camp there every year and I would say that’s accurate!!! but seriously I’ve worn a hat and shades everyday since I graduated high school (we weren’t allowed to wear hats to school).

Well we aren’t allowed to deal with bear problems, but thats the biggest trouble maker around here. I think pulling a dead deer out of a pond was probably the biggest when you factor in the rigor mortis......... my boss had to wrangle an emu off the interstate once but that was long before my time

I can’t see CXX so I quit using it but I remember it feeling thin (didn’t read the diameter on the box) I bought moss green, should have gotten clear I guess. I also remember cxx being extremely strong, I got hung up in swift current a few times and couldn’t break it, it was like an anchor line haha

That’s no kayak, that’s a barge!!! Sweet ride, looks quite comfy

Use them!!! I just don’t like having rods stored vertically, regardless of being in a kayak, canoe, or motor boat. I have bad habit of casting from all angles and I will somehow catch them on the back cast guaranteed

5 minutes is good time! I can’t even handle the complexities of a rod holder so I just lay them down. I’ve seen at least 7-10 rods go into the water while paddling with friends that didn’t flip over, it was always a rod holder involved (trees grabbing them, back casts grabbing them, or paddle smacking them out). I know they make better ones that don’t let the rods get ripped out but I can just lay them down and not worry about casts hitting them either

I bet the deep wee R would go down halfway to the center of the earth being pulled behind a gas motor

It’s wild! My 2-4 foot square bills hit bottom in 9-10 feet

thanks guys, that was a few years back . They were chasing mooneyes up into the rapids, it was a sight to behold. Looked like orca whales rounding up seals against the beach

Sounds like my fiancé, she’s got German blood and blonde hair/blue eyes. She has to be quite vigilant when we journey to Florida, she got lobster legs bad the first time we kayaked down there

I don’t farm much but I always have a farmers tan and a red neck. Being up on a black or white roof of a commercial building is the worst. sunscreen works great, you can tell when you miss a spot! The lotion is very affordable (spray not so much) my most hilarious tan lines are always from hunching over in a canoe all day and my belly fat rolls create this ridiculous star pattern that makes me look like a cancelled Dr Seuss character

I’ve always tried this with gas motor for bass (2 mph) and electric motor for crappie . What I always find is they won’t bite when I cast, but they will always keep biting if I keep trolling. I feel like this means what is triggering the bite is the lure whizzing by quickly.

I also keep all mine bare bones. That way loading, unloading , and cartopping are quick and easy

Cool! I think we reportedly only have the ruby throated ones over this way, and maybe another but I can’t recall

Well largemouth are native to most of US and common carp aren’t native to anywhere in the US. So basically what you said is not only unpopular but completely incorrect

If I threw a big spook on my $13 fiberglass spinning rods they would snap!! MH baitcaster throws them plenty far, sometimes into the top of a tree . I even throw Zara puppy on baitcaster, one time this joker grabbed it in a set of rapids, yee haw

It will slice the fingers off your hand before it breaks!

You ain't kidding, Geese can take down 747s!

Culverts are also my favorite. A single log (whole tree) out off the bank in deep water is usually good too , but they don't stay put long. Bluff walls on the main channel has to be up there as well

Nice work, enjoy the crappie meal!

White bass is bass! At least taxonomically.......... nice fishes

Nice!

Fished a tournament today, lots of boats! We weighed in 4 bass for 5.88, unfortunately couldn’t keep any of the smallies (even though I think the one I got was a meanmouth, the guy measuring had never heard of meanmouth). Fun times anyway, it’s not like we had a chance to win . Fish were eating flukes all day, of course y’all know I did most of my damage with a purple worm. Keepers have to be 14” largemouth and 18” smallmouth and of course we got lots of 13” and 17” fish

Yep! Dead stuff........ the deader the better

You must know a secret! Our dogs smell consistently awful............. they do have a fenced in area to woller in all day, probably doesn’t help. It looks like Area 51 with some strange weedy vegetation dissected by game trails and underground bunkers
