    1997 Flood

    I think my least fond memory was well after the flood. My grad advisor had another student who had to shack up with him because his apartment got flooded. He was driving our advisor nuts, kind of whacky dude to put it nicely. Since I had to go to SD for several weeks, my advisor convinced me...

    1997 Flood

    I was in El Forke Grande during the flood as well. Lived in married student housing (man am I glad that part of life is done for me!), and had an office in the basement of Leonard Hall. After bagging dikes for many days, a couple friends decided we had had enough and talked me into an...

    Early Season Boat Concerns

    I just always plan on going upstream, or upwind from the boat dock. While I've never had an issue, it's a lot easier to limp back to the trailer if Mother Nature is helping. Besides that, I always, ALWAYS, clean battery connections and test/charge the batteries before heading out for the...

    Boat cleaner

    BS! Try spilling a quart or two on the carpet of your pickup in January. And then not drive it for a week or more so it can settle in. That SOB still smells like a titty sprinking pickle! As usual, this happened to a "friend". :mad: - - - Updated - - - Note, the boat which gets a...

    Lund rebel 1650 ss

    Coordinates are fine. Names of honeyholes are irrelevant if you give us a Lat/Long. - - - Updated - - - Oh yeah...and I fished out of a 1975 era, 16 ft beer can of an Alumacrap with a 25 hp Johnson POS back in the late 90s. Have a little sense of humor mixed with an equal dose of sense of...

    Upcoming road construction - Williston

    Yeah, 1804 is getting turned into a "super 2". I am guessing that means turning lanes.

    No paddlefish cleaning offered this year

    Ain't that the truth, that pink/brown meat is just god-awful. The smallest piece of it on a filet put in the freezer can ruin the whole filet. Paddles aren't that tough to clean, a person can always gut, remove the notochord, and then simply cut the fish into steaks like a halibut. Once you...

    what to say...

    Jesus, you all make me feel like a stick in the mud. No tats, girly jeans, dumb hair (well, just no hair), piercings, and my jeans only come down to expose my ass crack when working and I put forth considerable effort to minimize this. I guess I grew into adulthood in the 80s, most I had to...

    thunder chicken

    It's the active ingredient in MANY insecticides. Just read the label until you find one. It won't take long, I promise. Pyrethrin is it's cousin. It's a derivative of the chrysanthemum flowers. Kills shit dead.

    Boat cleaner

    p.s. If you have grease on your motor, I suggest Krudcutter. Available at Menards, EXCELLENT stuff for greasy things.

    Boat cleaner

    guywhosafreakingchemistrygeek is right. I use a lot of vinegar around my place. Buy the gallon jugs at Sams and Wallyworld, everything from countertops to boats.

    A pacifier is also a meth users way to help save his teeth from the grinding the meth induces.

    I put a last year model 80 lb Ulterra on my Lund. It held the boat amazingly well while fishing an eddy in 15+ mph winds last week. Very happy with it!

    Is a 225 4-S Yamaha just too big for trolling down? a.) I hate the idea of drift socks, etc to slow down a boat while trolling. Just wasting gas at that point. b.) Backtrolling, ehh? I have never really cared for that either. Guess I'll have to put a large rearview mirror on the console.

    Note, I am keeping my Lund Fisherman for when there's fewer than 6 of us on the trip. - - - Updated - - - and it will be trailered often. I have no intentions of getting a slip and keeping it tied to one body of water. At least, not yet.

    Fishing toon

    So I seem to find myself in the market for a pontoon capable of being an adequate fishing platform. I know not a damn thing about pontoons, tritoons, or the things that make them a serviceable fishing rig. There are now those advertised as fishing toons, and they tend to come with a lower...

    swamp people

    A good friend's dad who worked for NC's DNR took me on a drive in the WMA he managed. At one point he stopped the pick-up and just sat and looked at me until I noticed the nearly 14 ft gator that was about 80 ft away. Jesus, Mother of Mary did that thing make the hair on the back of my neck...

    30000cfs ???

    I think I will just pass. Have a good one, Obi. - - - Updated - - - YES! That is EXACTLY how you use a dam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You use a dam to slow or very temporarily stop the upstream component from contributing to existing downstream problems! Think about...
