    Fishing toon

    I do indeed like the toon, it is a real pleasure to drive. Obviously, it is not as nimble as my Fisherman, but it's pretty responsive. I have no doubt that you'd be able to put 5-6 people on my toon and pull a tube with a couple people on it with ease. Maybe if I up-pitched my current 13...

    Jig weight vrs bb weight

    Let us not forget that line diameter/brand/style along with quality of fishing pole all play significant roles in determining if a given person can effectively feel bottom, etc. It's not just speed and weight.

    Good ol' fishing stories (Please share your)

    True as it is, it made me chuckle as well. It was just another of those "days" that I have. I've mellowed with time and little inconsequential crap like this just doesn't get my too wound up.

    Good ol' fishing stories (Please share your)

    Hah hah, as proof of JohnR's estimate on what it costs to own a boat, I had totally purged this one from the memory banks. $2k a year would now appear to be cheap for owning a boat!

    Murphy's Law of horticulture

    Tordon RTU is one of the non-restricted use variants and is the one intended for killing of trees. http://pmep.cce.cornell.edu/profiles/extoxnet/metiram-propoxur/picloram-ext.html

    Murphy's Law of horticulture

    Dean, Load a syringe with glyphosate. After you gut a twig off, inject a little glyphosate into the stump. That should help tame the roots from sending more volunteers up. SDMF, yes. Tordon will put the hurt to pretty much all trees in the area. So spraying of the suckers would suggest...

    What would you recommend?

    Hah hah, I am closing in on that with my new toon in the first month after purchase as I put in the add-ons! Otherwise, I would say that the majority of ownership costs in the newer boats involve direct usage costs (gas, bait, beer, etc) the maintenance costs on my old Lund is probably closer...

    What would you recommend?

    Yeah, I've heard the same thing about Tracker. Didn't one or two get sunk in the Gov cup on a very windy day after taking a beating. https://www.walleyecentral.com/classified/adviewer/175050 A little over what I would pay for it, but you wouldn't be unhappy with the setup...

    What would you recommend?

    Yeah, I don't know that any of us would be able to give you advice that you don't already know. The problem as I see it is that you've set your sights pretty high. Ipilot, newer electronics, bigger glass boat (equals bigger motor), all of this adds up quickly. Part of the problem you are...

    Murphy's Law of horticulture

    So long as you aren't planting another tree within a reasonable distance, Tordon is your friend here. Given its residual effect on trees due to its persistence in the soil, it's a preferred tree killer. Go to Tractor Supply Co. They carry a Tordon herbicide labeled for brush and other woody...

    Cabin/Lodging Around Van Hook??

    It's the reservation, generally speaking it is perfectly OK to sit out in front of just about anything with a beer. http://www.vanhookresort.com/ Oddly enough, having grown up there, I now find more reasons to go to Van Hook than just drinking nowadays. - - - Updated - - - p.s. In hindsight...

    Morel Mushroom

    Sauteed in butter with a little garlic and lots of salt and pepper, even the asparagus might look good.

    Big Muddy Tournament

    Hopefully their day-jobs don't involve using a fricking scale. Not taring a scale to the basket is fraud in the real world. - - - Updated - - - Ha, now we're cooking with peanut oil. ND vs SD, LOL At least we can probably all agree that both D's are better than Minnetucky and Wisconsitucky...

    Happy Cinco De Mayo

    While I am not necessarily a fan of the French, for the life of me...I can not understand why Americans in any way, shape, or form celebrate the Mexican victory over the French.

    MEGA Imaging

    How long does a guy have to go to school to learn how to use these fancy new electronics? Hell, I have an older LMS 480 and an X96 on my fishing boat, pretty sure I don't use 30% of the features on them, much less some of the new stuff.

    RAP auction

    I may almost pay some of the exorbitant prices I have seen things sell for at these auctions if you were to also get the backstory on how it ended up at the auction. As is, I will skip this event. Oh, and I already have a nearly new 4 year old propane Jiffy. Runs great, I just don't seem to...
