  1. Ahh! Haaa! This is exactly the point articcatt500 was making. Totally uncool ;D I will edit that post.
  2. Bring it!
  3. It shouldn't have to be that way though. There's been a few kids I've seen get scared away because of grammar problems or asking too many questions. Personally, I havent seen much of this. Sure, there are times that the grammar gods intervene more than is necessary but when someone comes on to ask a question but cant even form a sentence, that gets irritating, especially with the SPELL CHECK feature one click away. Some stuff is just flat out hard to read and understanding the real question at hand is even harder. Those are the posts that get overlooked or sarcasm fired in their direction. Asking multiple questions in a row in the same forum is a good way to get yourself ignored or a visit from the peanut gallery. Why? I dont know, thats just the way it is. The search function is probably not used like it was intended, thus creating a logjam of questions by the same person. Instead of poking fun or sarcasm at these people, point them to the search bar and let them know that they can find multiple threads on pretty much any topic they want to know about. If they cant find it in a search, by all means, post away. My bet is that the multiple threads by the same person goes way down. Another thing that some fail to use that is readily available is the smileys. If you're really just joking with someone, put a dam smiley beside it. Otherwise, any remark could be taken the wrong way. If everyone would just do a few things like what I've listed above, these issues will correct themselves. At the end of the day, we are all here for the same reason and there's absolutely no call for being pissy with each other. You dont have to agree with everything that someone posts and if you want to get your point across, do it in a way that will not be offensive to the others reading these threads, otherwise, your comments will be deleted. You can get your point across without starting a full fledged flame war.....just think about what you post BEFORE you post it. And, for anyone in this thread or anybody in general that thinks the board is going downhill lately, please, if you see a thread that is offensive, pm me with a link. We read and scan as many threads as we can but sometimes we dont see the ones that need some attention. <-----WOW! That took one whole mouse click!

  5. Can you give me some examples of this? I read a ton of posts daily and havent seen anything that would constitute a 'rise' in people having problems here. Maybe I'm not reading the right posts. Point me in the right direction.

  8. I had the same problem with my trolling motor. Took it in on a Saturday, they said they'd have it done by the following Friday. I picked it up 2 Saturdays later and they hadn't even looked at it. It was still in the same spot it was when I left it. (on the floor) That was 14 days in the shop (11 WORKING DAYS) in between where they couldnt even get one hour to diagnose my motor problem after telling me the whole thing would be diagnosed and fixed in 5 days. In the end, I had to take it somewhere else and buy a new trolling motor.

  10. The 3X Centipede has been my #1 bait on a carolina rig for several years now. I throw it on a 1/0 Owner for maximum float.

  12. A dink tournament? How could you NOT win a dink tournament? That thing was over before it got started. Suckers! What are you going to do with the $100,000?
  13. I just bought a Minn Kota Maxxum 101 and it didn't come with a manual. Where can I print one online? (by tomorrow) Need to see how to install the mount.

    We've got a weekly 4hr here but it's 20-25, maybe 30 boats max.
  16. That boat brings back a lot of good memories. The first Ranger I ever had was an 89 370V with a Johnson GT150. Man, I put that boat through hell. Loved that boat. Anyway, nice ride man. And dont worry about waxing or scrubbing that thing just yet, go catch some fish with it first, then decide whether to clean it up or not.

  18. I wish you would. Do you have an extra set of those goggles I can borrow?
  19. Wait, what payment? :-? Did I miss out on something when I was asleep? Or did I just sleep through it? :-[ Someone said your NASA 'Tool Time' goggles were too tight and cut off all bloodflow to your brain for a while. Maybe you blacked out. The good news is, nobody could poke your eye out. Whats this I hear about a SML trip?
  20. I agree. I've dealt with him a few times as well. No issues.

    Welcome to the site. I live in Roanoke and fish Smith Mtn on a very regular basis. If you ever get down this way, holler at me.
  22. Stained water = crankbait, then spinnerbait
  23. 5bass replied to cato's topic in Tournament Talk
    Holy ..... 48 boats in a 4 hr? Thats insane.
  24. I use both but I think Owners are the better hook. Does the word 'Gammy' bother anybody else or is it just me?
