  1. Dan, I just registrared and paid my entry fee. will be up thursday afternoon. If you have not signed up yet you can still do it online until noon today. After that it has to be done in person at the humphrey pavillion just east of the dam. Will be long lines, so just letting you know.
  2. Do you need a place to stay? The two guys from Virginia that stayed last year are due in tonight and have a place of their own. Let me know and i may be able to help you out. There would be no charge other than to pay your own food. I think i can swing a spot or two for someone else if they need it. Ya'll speak up now, let me know. Covered, locking stalls with electricity are on site and they are no charge also. Feel free to make a donation to cover the electricity usage, but it is certainly not required. Jack
  3. Congratulations, now go tackle Possum kingdom. It's got largemouth and smallmouth.
  4. amber for low light grey or a darker shade for bright light Get a quality brand of shades. If you cut corners you will not even know the difference until you borrow a friends higher end glasses. Only then will you realize what you have been missing.
  5. Yep, she's alive and well at the moment. wonder how long it will last?
  6. There was a time I would have been right in the middle of it. Age has a way to taking care of that though.
  7. Pretty obivious on mine. i love to fish tournaments for cash. and other fishing equipment.
  8. If he can't, I will be happy to carry you out. Will be tied up thursday-sunday on Rayburn this coming weekend for a tournament but will be back on toledo the next. Just let me know, Jack
  9. fork is kicking them out, but Ivie had at least three over the last few days. Number 500 was caught there over the weekend.
  10. I'm going to have to X2 that one.
  11. Try miracle whip. We have used it to take tar ball stains from shirts and shorts from a day at the beach. Just dab it on and rub it with yoiur fingers until it desolves the tar(And it will). Wash and forget it. You can't find the spot. works on adhesive to.
  12. Congratulations go out to: Debra Hengst for a 37th place finish at Amistad. She beat out a lot of good fishermen to finish up this high. You can add her to the list of women that can hold her own with the guys. Great job Debra.
  13. PM dick, he can help you.
  14. My buddy in Hawaii has a totally restored VW thing. If you want it, pay me and I'll go get it for you.
  15. I will be glad to help you. Do you have a map? FYI, find the mowed point with the fake deer on the south side of harvey. fish the ditch coming out just to the northwest and fish it well. It is very grassy but take tyhe time to learn it and you should get a big bite. Up to you if you can get it in the boat. don't bother with the sissy tackle. Beef it up.
  16. New jack plate is coming in any day. That is certainly where it is going. I was wondering about the electrical box. Thanks for the help.
  17. Thanks Todd. Is this the Todd Driscoll that works for the parks and wildlife up at rayburn?
  18. Strange...I have a 522c and a LMS480 side by side on the console. Transducers are mounted outside the boat at the back of the transom just to each side of the lower unit. I have a X135 up front working off the TM. Never had a problem with any interference. I am running the HST-WSBL wide angle transducers on all. They stay on unless I am working very shallow water, and that ain;'t very often.
  19. Catfish love a Chrome/Blue back trap.
  20. Trying to pick a spot. The unit is going on the console, and I need feedback, pro and con, as to where to mount it. Was thinking about in the rod locker in front of the console or up under the console. Any problems with the installation or activation? Thanks for the help guys. jack
  21. Feels great to get the monkey off my back. i was surprised when it happened because i had always tried in my mind to feel the fight. It was no more than several 5s that I had caught over the years. I now have nine dd bass and most did not fight any more than the other larger if somewhat smaller fish i had put in the boat. Just goes to show you it's not the size of the dog in the fight. A lot of it has to do where you are fishing, the time of year, and the depth of water you stick the fish.
  22. Most carpet comes in rolls either seven or eight ft wide. If you have the 20 footer I think you'll need 22 ft. Mine cost 11.00 per running ft.
  23. Our first tv had one channel and was on the air from 9:00am-8:00pm
  24. PMd you my phone numbers
  25. Tons of grass as of last week.. i grew up 10 minutes from the lake site. Great idea to try it out. fish up the yellowbank or the loco arm. If you go let me know. Also, if you get the time i will be up there at least three days during the next three weeks or so and the back seat is open. Lots of double digit fish.
