    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...

    30000cfs ???

    I respectfully disagree.

    30000cfs ???

    While I am sure you have heard this before, the dams were not built with Flood Control as their exclusive purpose. It is a balancing act and if a person (Corps) were to pro-actively plan for a flood the size of the 2011 event, they would have to start in October/November. And then when the...

    30000cfs ???

    Err, huh? That one rain you speak of would be of Biblical proportions. Remember, it took 4-6 weeks of repetitive rains in 2011 to push the Missouri to the levels eventually reached, even after having a well above normal plains and mountain snowpack. Some places in MT received more rain in...

    Eagle took my pike

    Damn thief! Then again, I used to have golden eagles swoop in and steal my grouse when I was a kid. Pretty cool when you're 13.

    First 90 Kangaroos Released In Wyoming

    Hey now, I've actually seen a ptarmigan in the NW part of the state. By the time I figured out what it was and that it was on unposted land, I lost track of it. That was back around 1993.

    Damn that's allot of snow.

    I have a lot of trees that suffered this winter. Pines, willow, plums, and chokecherry all took an ass-whooping from the snow and wind this winter.

    On years when Sak gets a later than normal rise and floods the sweet clover, OMG!

    Spinners

    Duckslayer, 1.5 to 2.5 oz bottom bouncers on your two lines closest to the boat, the angle of your fishing line should be pretty steep, like diving into the water at a 60 degree angle or better. 5/8 to 1 oz bottom bouncers for your lines going farther back behind the boat, on these the line...
