  1. If you guys hit 4 Mile let me know (especially Sunday) and I'll walk over and join, maybe show you around a little if needed. I tried it Sunday in the snow. Caught an ambitious bluegill on a big streamer, nothing else.
  2. Throw Seam Flies in there too as a good bass fly, kind of a walk the dog action. Big dumbell-eyed double bunny flies are also good for getting down after them, fished alot like a plastic worm. All: What if I tied latex tubing inside the EZ Body for some heft? Thoughts? I know the only way to know is to try it, but thoughts?
  3. Let me be very clear...I carry that 22 every day and have shot 10's of thousands of rounds through it. It gets a god cleaning after every session and preventive maintainence every year. I've had one misfire on a bad primer. Never had any other problems with it. Another point to bring up with this is, if you don't grip the gun firmly enough, you can affect how well the gun cycles. Not saying anyone has limp wrists, just posting another idea.
  4. So for everyone who couldn't read the original post, he's trying to keep it to $100 each for a rod and reel.
  5. My wife read me the article off of CNN (I think) Saturday night. My first thought was...this is a joke right?...and then she told me it was CNN and I immediately knew it had to be a joke.
  6. Flechero, have you worked with the EZ Body? DO you think one could tie it to imitate a senko?
  7. Not my thread, but I have a 5, 7 and 9 weights that I use for bass and use wooly buggers in larger sizes as well as clousers. Deer hair mice worked across the top of grass beds in the evening will get the heart rate up too. Have you (or anyone else) seen the Marini's Wounded Baitfish (anchovie, silverside, etc.) patterns? They're msde from EZ Body. I was looking for something that I could use similar to a senko.
  8. Saints in a laugher...Dallas is one blow up short of a train wreck.
  9. VolFan replied to uicdent11's topic in Everything Else
    A person (and pretty much anything else) is rarely all bad or all good. You just have to rank them with yourself.
  10. The black is a little more earthy, the white a little more fragrant...Honestly, not a huge amount of difference.
  11. My happiest state is "Confusion", and I also occasionally like visit the great the state of "Intoxication"
  12. I've seen those same problems with Glock 23s as well, mostly with less expensive "practice" ammo. Apparently some of the lower energy rounds don't have the oomphf to cycle the action. And their firing pin spring seems to be weaker. I don't know if the 30 and 23 use the same spring or not. Never had a problem with service ammo or with my 22. Winchester seems to be having trouble with primers in a few lots of ammo as well, so that could be a contributing factor too.
  13. You drizzle it on afterwards. Even better if you have some fresh truffle to shave on but that's some Steez-level $$$. Back to the topic at had, peanut or canola is probably the best combination of high smoke point and price. Safflower has a high smoke point and almost no taste, but it's a little expensive. Another tip, if you strain the oil through a coffee filter laced in a strainer, it'll last a long long time. It works best when the oil is just a little warm. Last thing, if it's getting near the end of the oil's life (or you just want to) I fry a couple of bacon strips in the oil (careful not to burn them) and then fry your fish, potatoes, and hush puppies.
  14. We put ours on a camry with it, it'll go might look a little goofy, but it'll git r dun
  15. Go to REI or LL Bean or whoever sells canoes/kayaks near you and get the $20 kayak/canoe car kit. Best $20 you'll ever spend as it relates to he yak. I've used the same one for four different boats over several years. Basically it's two ratchet straps and four foam blocks.
  16. Nope, that's a little crazy. I used to stand in mine (Hokifisherman has it now), but that's an advanced technique.
  17. Let me back up before I get into trouble ...By "get your legs" I meant "get used to fishing out of a kayak. " Standing in one is a whole other animal.
  18. If I might throw out a suggestion, go to Quantico and go out on Lunga or come on up to Roaches Run for your first trip, unless you've fished from one before. It's much easier on still water to get your legs, especially this time of year where a dip can be fatal.
  19. I used to fish below Ft Loudon dam near Knoxville for fish like that (though almost certainly never that big...); it's a RUSH in a kayak! That's a gorgeous fish. If I may ask, were you on the Potomac?
  20. So what is it? Tree on a point?
  21. If Nebraska had any semblance of an offense, Texas loses by two touchdowns. A boy named Suh is an aslute MAN. But that's why they play the game.
  22. Freeze a roll of nickels and roll that on the floor with the arch of your foot and moderate pressure for a few minutes a few times a day. The coolness reduces the inflammation and the movement stretches the tendons. It works pretty nice for $4 physical therapy.
  23. Princess Bride "He's breathing out of the wrong eyelid"
  24. Dell makes the batteries to last about 1.5 to two years; we just had to replace my wife's on her work laptop. She had the exact same problem. Says it's charging and tehn 99-100% battery when plugged in and there's good current going through the battery, but then dies a few seconds after you pull the cord.
