Gout people + Allopurinol
I think something may have been wrong at the start of my treatment - that would definitely explain the lack of effectiveness! It really is a pain like no other, and very unique once you identify it.

Gout people + Allopurinol
I tried Allopurinol for my gout with no side effects. It also didn’t stop the gout. I try to control my gout with hydration and diet and have generally been effective, but occasional flares I just have to ride out and hydrate. Gout is no joke - good luck

Struggling to stay in one spot on a kayak
Depending on what depth and cover you’re fishing, you can use an anchor or a stake-out pole to hold on the bottom, or tie off or clamp to brush above water. You can also use a drift anchor to slow your wind drift. It’s like a fabric bucket that opens under water, providing drag. A five gallon bucket does the same thing decently effectively in a small kayak. If you fight the wind in a small kayak, you will lose and get a lot of exercise. Do your best to work with the wind to use it to drift through productive water.

Drop Off
I guess we’ll see…but Bama/Texas for the national championship seems like the most likely outcome. Best of luck with that.

Guilty Pleasure Species?
I love hybrids and strippers when I can get them. Locally I fish catfish probably more than bass any more, but I also love a good white perch bite when you get on a school of bigger ones.

Anyone have any special tricks or techniques that help entice the tough winter bite for river smallies?
You can also do a heavier swing head with some of the solid head tubes or a senko.

A tube with a heavier than normal head that gives me good feel and keeps it in solid contact with the bottom. Fish slow as above. More aggressive in the warm water discharges.

Are you a hammer?
I’m a hammer in the essence of I’m heavy and useless on the water, and I sink.

Smallest Casting Reel for Small Swim Baits
Curado D 200. Tat 150 works great too up to 3 or so ounces. Some of it depends on what line.

Anybody watching the game this Saturday at noon?
I both think FSU got scrod AND that Alabama is going to crush Michigan. Washington is really the wildcard in all of this. I think they’re pretty good but it’s hard to trust good on the west coast compare to SEC good…

Advice on mounting a bow trolling motor to an aluminum stick steer boat
I got the following from Midwest Steel and Aluminum: 6061 Aluminum Plate (6061ASHT250) Size: .250 Quantity: 1 Width: 10 Length: 36 Price: $34.63 I used it for a front plate behind my bow cap and to mount my troller. If you want something permanent and professional looking, you can’t beat it. You don’t need .25 thickness- I just did that to match the bow cap height. It’s easy to work with.

2023 deer hunt
We had a deer hunter shoot a fox squirrel on our land (near Memphis) when I was about 9. It was literally the size of a rabbit. We had a few swamp rabbits around too that made a cottontail look like a kitten. Always cool seeing Ma Nature’s variety.

Happy Thanksgiving
We’ve reached the sweet potato pie and scotch portion of the evening. Nice to see a Tennessean helping our good friends in Texas again. Dolly was waaaay better than the Alamo.
