  2. I believe LMB have what is called Pharyngeal teeth, sort of in their throat, they use those and stomach muscles to crush prey,,
  3. Welcome to the party
  4. RIP
  5. Just because you find a cell low on water, below the top of the plates, does not automatically mean that cell or battery has been ruined. It is not good for the battery, but it isn't a death sentence either. And never over fill a battery, boiling over during charging could happen and you will have a mess!
  6. Wow
  7. Welcome to the party
  8. Instant gratification, or a lack of it, is why the “masses” care nothing for fishing. Frankly I’m dam glad they don’t.
  9. Lol, he knows me as Rusty, my bad,,,lol since he is a guide Insorta thought he might know the news from all over,
  10. Dang, crazy!
  11. Setting the hook cost nothing, if in doubt set the hook. And set it hard!

    Color?

    I believe dark colors mean more in “stained” water than color itself, less light equals less color rendition,
  14. Buddy of mine used threaded rod, 3/8” I think, with tennis balls on the tips, another buddy got some driveway reflectors from Lowe’s or Home Depot,, they were only about 24-30” tall
  15. I have a friend who is a Striper guide down there, hit him up on Facebook, Cygrajacar Extreme Stripers tell him Rahlow sent ya,,,he should have the info you need
  16. In that first pic, what kinda roller runner system ya got under that thing?
  17. Heck yea I believe it, in 1979 I paid $25,000 for 3 bedrooms 1-1/2 bath, my first house. Power bill was flat $25/month, but we had no central A/C then either....lol
  18. I’ve had good luck with items I’ve sold on Craigslist and Facebook Market Place
  19. davecon, I had one of those, but no knots, used it as a plumb bob
  20. Tom, if I may call you Tom, do you think the generation after yours and I believe mine, as a general rule, have the patience to fish the way we did in the 60’s or even the 70’s? I remember the Lowrance flashers, I knew the depth indication was good, and even some sort of structure or cover that blipped above that, but it still was a study to try and determine just what that blip was, for me anyway,, I was a bank fisher until the late 60’s and my poor Baptist preacher uncle did not have any thing other than an anchor and rope to measure depth lol We mostly crappie fished, tied up under bridges or anchored near docks or boathouses,,, I started serious Bass fishing in the late 80’s and early 90’s in farm ponds and small lakes limited to trolling motor power, electronics were not considered necessary in those locations, we wore em out thrashing the banks and off the points and known creek runs, old road beds etc. I didn’t want electronics then,,, had no need for em.
  21. I believe the fluctuation in Barometric pressure that comes with weather “fronts” means more than anything
  22. Good post Sam, exactly what I hoped to see,,, Another mind warp for me is the price of the high end boats, never in my life did I think I would live to see a $100k Bass boat, but I believe I will soon!
  23. Please understand that I did not intend to say younger, (younger than me can be 50 lol), fishermen without electronics do not exist, my thought is the explosion of Fishing, Bass fishing especially, is in part due to the availability of electronics to take some of the work out of finding fish,,, The last paragraph has a lot to do with my question, do they (whoever “they” are) know the why? Do they have the patience to fish an area to find out if it holds fish? Nice fish!
  24. how some of the latest generation of fishermen, ones that can drive and tow their own boat, would do in days gone by when all the electronics that were available were "flashers", or even before that? I mean I know these guys would learn to catch fish, the serious fishermen any way. What I 'm getting at is, would there be as many boats on the water, guys fishing if they did not have the electronics that are available today to aid in finding fish or good fish habitat...... I firmly believe that electronics have opened up the world of bass fishing to people who may not have spent the time to figure it out otherwise, and I also believe there are some guys who stuck it out because of the gadgets.. ah well things that make at least me go,, Hmmmmmmmmmmmm
  25. Welcome to the party
