  1. Great job on the fish. :clap: We marked fish but couldn't get anything to fire. I saw you out there, it was me on the radio. We fished from 9:30 - 1:00 and didn't do as well 2/4 both good lakers though. lemon ice S/d,and Green Dolphin S/D. I think we were running to deep, down 80-90 ft over 120-140 Fow. I'll know better next time. Still learning that part of the lake. Did you see the chopper out by the base, and the real low fly over? :clap:

  2. Had a 1998 F150 with the 5.4 extended cab XLT. Never a lack of power or comfort. :inlove: I ran 33" tires and getting 12mpg. So I sold it when gas hit $4.50 a gallon. ;(;( (40min commute one way to work) If I had my boat then, I would have kept the truck. My 16ft hauls nicely with a 4.0l explorer but I still miss the truck. Soon I hope to replace it, but I just bought a house.

  3. Its a shame that we as americans even have to worry about things like this. Let alone a veteran. Our police force needs to focus on violent crimes. Leave the life jackets and seatbelts to those with common sense.

    All fisherman need to stick together and protect our own. Any fisherman could have stepped in. I would for the next guy and would expect the same in return. As citizens we need to police ourselves as big brother is not always (never) there when you need them.

    Someone should pay these guys a visit. :devil::@:devil:

    Get well soon Bill. Hope to see you on the river this fall.

  4. Can't wait, I like watching the pleasure boaters launch. Most can't back a trailer, Half the boats won't start, they forget drain plugs,even seen one float away. Loading can be just as fun as watching you. :rofl::rofl::rofl: The ones I feel bad for are the wives and childeren with a$$hole fathers yelling and screaming like its thier fault. :@

  5. Use a snatch block. :lol: It gives mechanical advantage but it sounds like there is another problem.

    Clean the boat out it will ride higher and pull easier. :lol: I may even have a home for any unwanted gear. ;)

  6. I too notice the lack of jackets, they must all have large boats.

    $25 that's 2 S/D and flies I wouldn't give that up.

    I bought inflatables for my dad and I this year. they fit well over a large coat and so small you forget your wearing it. Although the warning says not intended for temps less than 40 F. :o They inflate slower in cold temps. I'm glad I read the Warning on this one. Atleast I know what to expect.

  7. I picked up a cobra today $99 and a 3ft shakespear antenna $37 with swivel mount. Gotta be better than the handheld. Can't wait to mount it up and try it out. I'll report back. and hopefully be talkin to ya on the water. :D

  8. I see alot of reports for today but didn't see that many boats. Where were you guys?

    I took the wife and my little brother out for good time today. We launched at 8:30 and were off by 1:30. My brother boated most of 12LL and 1 laker we caught. :clap: lost 4 others. He's only 10 so I pulled the dipsy rods. The LL were real good looking fish as 3 of them were around 4 lbs. the laker maybe 5lbs. Lemon ice S/D and green homemade fly took alot of fish. Along with hits on watermelon nk28, rainbow stinger, and NBK. Never caught a ll on a fly before. I was setting my second dipsy rod out when a rigger fired. I stopped the wire at 200 and forgot about it. :$ Next we were hauling in a 4.5lbs LL. :o

    Usually I head for point and hope to find fish on the way. Today I found fish willing to play and stayed on them all day and paid off. Whats your thoughts on that? Don't leave fish to find fish, right?

    Hey, jason I thought we had a banner day till read your post. Thanks for stepping (stomping) on my self esteem. LOL :lol: You guys did great Where were you? ;)
