    Liquid rollers?

    After having a bunk trailer and a couple of roller trailers, I just cannot fathom why people would prefer a bunk over a properly fitted roller trailer on an aluminum hull. Seriously, my previous Smokercraft and current Lund are so, soo...easy to load and unload with a roller trailer...

    Where do you think the line is with electronics?

    Yes. I don't know what that line is though, but I did just fine the past 12 years fishing with an old Lowrance LMS 480. I upgraded this spring, but mostly because I wanted color so I could see it in the sunlight.

    Opti Overhaul

    I put 150 hours on my pontoon last summer, AFTER I blew the motor (equipped with an hour meter). The Lund gets used more in the spring and fall, but a 6-7 hour day of pulling cranks on the big motor (no kicker) is not unusual. I had to sit down and actually look at a calendar a while back to...

    Opti Overhaul

    In talking with guides down in Florida, they were running mostly Yamaha and Suzuki motors. Although, the guys that took us out on the deep water were running Mercs. The 200 hp, 2015 Suzuki had over 1800 hours on it already, and the twin 2015 Merc 150s (all 4-S) had around 1200. They...

    Rain

    Ended up with 1.3 inches outside of Lincoln. Then it rained a wee bit after I got in to work, so maybe around 1.35 total.

    Rain

    Just now giving us the business out by Lincoln. No complaints from me, yet. Hail would kind of annoy me though.

    Boat question.

    Sorry man, you will want this. :( - - - Updated - - - At that volume of water, she has a bad crack somewhere. Head, block, intake, ??? sounds like you are literally pulling in so much water on top of the piston to create that "internal" sound.

    Garrison Dam Flood Tunnel

    No, that electricity is largely sold to Minnesota. Ever notice the powerline's path away from the dam?

    Bismarck: I look down at the ground when people ask me where I am from

    Didn't the Hoge Island residents reject the flood plan for their area? Or am I mis-remembering something?

    Anyone snare rabbits?

    Yeah, I think tularemia is more prevalent in the summer months. Or, maybe they just expect the rabbits to die from it during the onset of winter. Anyway, I know a couple guys that hunt rabbits and they pretty much restrict their hunting of them for food during the Dec-Feb timeframe.

    Garrison Dam Flood Tunnel

    In going up to a total of 44,000 cfs, the plan is to send most of the water through the powerplant, with some 4-6 thousand being contributed to the overall discharge through the regulation tunnels. I heard, but don't remember the actual split between the two.

    Florida Trip

    I don't know Marco Island, or about the March timeframe. But I did go there this last weekend and the fishing was good, damn good. Chased tarpon for a couple of days and ended up catching one at right around 100 lbs according to the guide, and did a day of deep water fishing where we busted...

    Missouri River rise

    Probably because developers, real estate agents, and current landowners often use terms like Garrison can prevent floods and the senators have whipped the Corps into shape so they won't allow flooding in the future. Anything it takes to soothe a prospective buyer. Truth is, nobody in their...

    Missouri River rise

    Those "rains" were pretty near record rainfall across the eastern half of Montana. While Peck and Garrison are both going to reach what is called the Exclusive Flood Control zones of their respective reservoirs, that still leaves an awful lot of room for just about anything other than another...

    Missouri River rise

    The Missouri River at Bismarck hits what's called Action Stage at around 57k CFS, and Flood Stage at around 75k CFS. Granted, there are plenty of people who get nervous as the river approaches Action Stage, however I am not aware of any major impacts between 57 and 75k CFS, just more fear...

    Missouri River rise

    1853.5 is not gonna happen unless the wheels come off the river, so to speak. One must remember that at all points in time, any forecast for Lake Sak, Fort Peck, Oahe, etc are trying to forecast the Corps' management decisions. In that sense, the past couple of forecasts issued by the Corps...

    Missouri River rise

    Just for clarification, the Yellowstone through Billings is roughly a foot and a half below what it was last week at this time. https://water.weather.gov/ahps2/hydrograph.php?wfo=byz&gage=bilm8

    spun hub?

    Damn, I would have thought for sure that once spun she's done.
