hmmmm walmart could be a vasectomy and lobotomy wholesaler......what a plan!!!!

good thing the guy didnt say the f word......internet filming options would have been unending.......hehehehehe

The lake here that I live on is infested with gators. Most of the ones you see are in the 3-4 foot range, but during mating season 10+ arent uncommon. Now common sence tells you they are there all the time, you just see them more during the "happy time". I swim in the lake regularly, and have never had an issue, but never at night. I maybe crazy, but they own that lake at night, Im not stupid.

why do we park on a driveway....and drive on a parkway?

I certainly hope its elbow macaroni and not something with a blunt end. hehehehehe gonna sound like a brick hitting the bottom of the crapper when ya break loose......jesus dude whats the matter with you??

Gotta ride with Kelley and Jim on this one. Glen and company do a fantastic job here, I personally wouldnt have deleted crap, If The mods found it out of range, they would remove it and that would be that. Sounds to me like someone was dealing with the green monster..... Recon

To all those who have fallen, you are not forgotten. For all those left standing, we recognize your sacrifice. Thank You. Recon

Anyone had these tasty treats? Heres how I make em. take a pickle spear, I use kosher dills myself, roll them in a breading, I use a premade chicken breading from the store, then dip em in milk, then a second toss into the breading. Drop them in the deep fryer for 3 minutes at 375 degrees. Dip em in ranch dressing....they are awesome, and go great with a meal of speck fillets!!! Recon

Al, Ive been there to many times, I know the wrench of the last hours before leaving all to well. I wish you the best, and will keep all of you in our prayers here. Be safe you know the deal "there" Recon

Serious fishing almost always alone. However, the prettier half goes with me time to time to sunbathe on the back of the boat. I dont mind she is usually quiet and it gives us time to talk a bit about whatever. I had one guy I used to fish with quite a bit. He was a heavy beer drinker and would leave beer cans on the back of the boat, it used to really honk me off. One day he ask me to ride with him someplace, about a 4 hour drive round trip, so I took a 12 pack of coke and left the cans on the floor of his car. Of course he said something the next time we were out fishing. I simply took the lid off of the trash can at our dock, and showed him all his beer cans I removed from the boat. He never did it again. He moved away, and I dont hear from him much, but I do miss a good fishing partner.

I had a website long time ago that sold outdoor goods. It also went on a list although I am positive I never sent one single piece of spam. I also was unable to talk them into removing the block. They also add tons of uneeded software to your computer, which generally can slow it down quite a bit, if you dont know what to remove.

Pathetic, maybe they should have livewell and wallet checks. Im teasing about the wallet checks of course, but still thats sad.

Man people never cease to amaze me. Over a fishing spot. I hope there is mandatory sentencing there for those who use firearms in the commission of a felony. I am the last person on earth who will ever be anti firearm, but I am the first to insist that people be responsible for their actions with a firearm. Responsibility and accountability are key!

Welcome, if you love to fish you have found the right place! Recon

depending upon the size of the cooler, and the size of the minnows. It is a rather inexpensive undertaking to add aeration to your bucket, and would probably give the best results for keeping your bait frisky. It also dosent hurt to add a bit of ice to the bucket as well. Fish being cold blooded use less oxygen in cooler conditions, and also cooler water holds more oxygen that warm. Hope this helps Recon

Funny story. When I was a kid we were camping and fishing a river in Indiana. We fished all week, while on vacation, and never had one stinking bite. It was horrible. The last day there, while bottom fishing, I got a hit. Lifted the rod and set the hook. Man it felt like a nice fish. Moving in and out of the current. Diving and then coming up, but never jumping. When I finally got the bait to the shore, to my chagrin, it was a piece of law chair webbing!! Looked like it was from a chase lounge, it was pretty long. The way it cut through the current was just like a fish!! We still laugh about that to this day.

Welcome aboard!!! Steve I dont think it is a jet, in the first pic you can see a prop blade just above the tail light!! Nice looking boat, be safe and enjoy! Recon

I have an older (1985) tournament tx 17 foot tracker with a 60 hp merc. It has been a great boat!! On the live well issue, I removed the divider completely, and use one of those cull master systems. They use small floats on the fishes lip to cull them quickly by weight, and they also can identify yours from your partners. Also allows the fish a bit of more room to move as opposed to the divided livewell! Recon

That was a great read! I went through basic in San Diego, and growing up as a farm boy, so much of that smacks so very true! The only part wrong is that the USMC only trains women at Paris Island lol! Other that that, and although I realize that was written as humor, it hit so close to home as being true!! On topic.... I dont see anything wrong with bow hunting in lakes, as long as its legally done and only aimed at "junk" fish. Reccon

LBH hit the nail on the head. The real issue here wasnt the thugs, it was how your daughter saw you resolve the situation. I think you set a great example for her. I had a similar experience once, and simply asked them how they would like it if I spoke to their mothers, or sisters that way. They shut up. Most thugs are the wanna be variety. I believe you did the right thing! and better luck next time on the fishing!! Recon

I used to use Kalin grubs alot when I lived up north. Pumpkinseed with a chart ball jig head was a killer. I also used watermelon and copper flake tubes....deadly!

When I was a kid one of our neighbors was a czech. I guess firearms there were terribly expensive, and he hunted everything with a bow. I mean everything. We were avid pheasant hunters then, and he used to go with us. He could keep up pretty well. He used an arrow called a fluflu I think. Very wide feathers, short speed was great, but definitly not long range as the arrows ran out of inerta pretty fast. Starting off my dad told me to hold back a bit, in order for him to have a chance at the birds. That soon proved unwise, as he was every bit as fast as we were. I dont know what ever happened to him, but, we sure enjoyed some great times hunting together, he was also devistating on rabbit.

loomis loomis loomis, oh yeah and loomis.....they are unbeatable IMO. I also do like the lightening rods, and have used them for years.

I have actually been outfitting a rig to use at the lake here. Several of the Large Bass i have caught lately in the 9-12 lb range have been huge scars, and no they arent from spawning. Several neighbors have had small dogs, as well as chickens etc etc, vanish into the night. I love swimmin in th3e lake in the daytime, but night is a whole new ball game. Time for some thinin out, and firin up the deep fryer.

I have a little known tactic for close quarters fishing. Although it is my secret weapon, Ill share it. The night before the big outting, I do a double burrito fiesta! This provides chemical reenforcement of my personal space. Hangs around longer than tear gas, and more effective. Seldom has a hazmat team been called, and since it is a completely human bodily function can not be considered assault. I would like to offer one small piece of advice on this tactic. Lots a cheese, we wouldnt want anything getting away from us now would we?
