    Who Drinks Alcohol While Fishing?

    Coffee in the morning and water in the afternoon for me. Alcohol makes me tired so if I have any it's at night.

    Boat antenna

    I just have a short rubber antenna , Can't be more than a foot long. I get all sorts of stations with it up in the hills and at Devils Lake.

    What is the biggest Walleye you have ever caught?

    I hit a brick wall at # 8.6 and 27.5'' back in the early 80s.

    Have yard infested with dandelions

    No matter what chemical I try I usually don't get much of a kill in the spring or summer, It sets them back so they don't go to seed but one pass in the late fall usually kills every dandelion big enough to die.

    Decent air rifle

    Update Svn , There are good triggers, OK Triggers that you can get by with , Bad triggers and junk triggers. The "Adjustable" trigger on the Crosman Fury is lower on the list than that. It's downright dangerous if you ask me. I have never been a big fan of two stage triggers in the first...

    Decent air rifle

    You know more than me , I only know about the old red ryder and how poorly they shot, I used to carry my moms 3 in 1 sewing machine oil in my back pocket because I liked how they "Smoked" when you shot them after they were freshly oiled. The vids are long and boring but it's fun to jump around...

    Decent air rifle

    Haha Not yet but I was thinking about when I tinker with the trigger, My muzzle has to point up to check the trigger pull and I'm in the house. Guess I better try using my fish scale and shoot into the woods.

    Decent air rifle

    I will see what the trigger gets like first , I let one rip out the window and I almost needed a come along to pull the trigger. That's ok for killing a pigeon but I won't try to show off in front of my boys with something like that. Does it wreck stuff if you dry fire spring guns ?

    Decent air rifle

    Thanks Svn for the heads up, I had heard that before too but it slipped my ageing mind. I might have wrecked a good scope. Yea, the target isn't anything to bring home but It's pigeon sized with power for $ 50 , That makes me happy. I have shot 2 expensive ones that will blow pellets...

    Decent air rifle

    Depending on your child's age and strength , The bare rifle is just over 6 #, By the time I get a scope with some decent mounts it will be over 7 with almost all the weight out front. I don't see it being a good shooter for real young kids because of the weight but for $ 50 it can sit in the...

    Decent air rifle

    I just got back from Walmart and found a Crossman Fury 2 Blackout on sale for $ 50 , Almost like they saw me coming and knew what I would spend , Haha. It came with a scope but I have a target scope I will slap on it and see how it shoots. The trigger feels like crap but it is adjustable and...

    What brand of boat do you run?

    Restored 1982 Sea Ray 28' cabin cruiser with a 350 Chevy I/O and 9.9 merc kicker, By far the funnest boat I have ever owned.

    Thanks Vollmer, It takes a while to teach old dogs new tricks but it can be done.

    Decent air rifle

    I'm in the market for a reasonable priced air rifle to get rid of some pigeons that moved in on me and refuse to leave. Will the cheap daisy or crossman that you can pick up at walmart shoot a 1'' group at 50' ? Or anything else under 50 bucks that will get the job done. It will...

    Hi Worm Wiggler, Good to see your still kicking. I was going to start a topic but don't know where to start, I need to read the directions some rainy day.

    Walleye Taste vs Northern Pike Taste?

    I agree with Colonel Angus about water temp. This summer starting in late July everything I keep is going on ice.

    Walleye Taste vs Northern Pike Taste?

    I like the taste of Northern better but I eat more walleye because they are so darn easy to clean.

    What do you do when not hunting/fishing?

    What do you do when not hunting/fishing?

    I recently sold my business and semi retired and plan to spend more time with our kids and grand kids. I farm a few acres, plant a garden and collect and restore old farm tractors and implements. I recently restored an early 80s 28' Sea Ray cabin cruiser, We plan to spend a lot of time on...
