You live over by Denny Dennis Hardware. About 30 mins from me. Ever go in there much?

I have been using Protec and then heat curing them to get an extremely tough finish. Is there anything better out there that is quicker and just as durable? Needs to show detail in a head?

I live in Festus about 35 miles South of St. Louis.

I've got lota guns. Pretty much the only time I carry one in a boat is when I'm duck hunting. Now if I fished rivers I might think about it. Where I fish its really not an issue of crime. Snakes in boats. Ah, ya big girlymen. Use the paddle to hold down their head and pickem up and throw them out. If that doesnt work for ya just use the paddle to break the backbone behind the head. No hole in the boat that way. One of the guys I fish with is so scared of them when he sees one swimming by he starts shaking. If he doesnt see them I make sure I point them out to him. Hey check out that cottonmouth! Then his response. If he gets in the boat I'm getting out. I'm like dude take it easy he's 30 feet away.

It is probably tinned up or has some other type of build up on it. I would contact lee on it and check the best way to clean it is.

Awsome molding. Looks great.

Ditto

I think you would have the best episode on his show. I dont watch it much but having kids involved is a great idea.

You guys make some cool lures. I would like to get into the plastic making too, but right now I have enough hobbies to keep me more then busy.

You have to have a host site like photobucket or myfishingpictures.com. Then download what you want and in your posts use the insert image icon and place the url (address) in it.

Thanks, You guys are right. It will be better in the long run to replace them for 100 bucks.

Has anyone tried to clean out a Cable steering system. I have hard steering on my boat and need clean the crud out of the system.

Yeah did ya. I would love to see it.

Fiber all the way. I have tried the Y's and hate them. I prefer gluing them in also instead of molding them its alot cleaner fit

Thanks guys, here is the one I am looking at. http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/product/horizontal-item.jsp?_requestid=53408 I noticed on the sizes 2-3 of them include my boat length. 17.5. Should I go small, mid, or big. If I get this one the accesory rope is 10 bucks.

Spoons and Dropshot. I still need to get better at both of these techniques.

I'm looking for a drift sock to slow down my boat while bass fishing in local lakes. Anyone now who makes a good one for a decent price? Also where is the best place to buy one? I've been looking around and so far I think the cabela's are the best looking. I downloaded there video and it seemed like the best one for $35. Sorry if this topic isnt in the right place

I am going to side with Roger on this very touchy issue. Its just not the pwc and big boats. Yes they can be annoying to someone fishing. My issues are on boat driver safety, judgement, control, and fundementals of boat driving. Doesnt matter what kind of boat you are in just use some curtousey and common sense. A big scarab running next to a 20' bass boat by a dock is going to get swamped and push the boat up on the dock. been there done that too many times. A boat going south and a little left heading towards a boat going north a little to the right doesnt turn left in front of the guy heading south a little to the left he turns right instead of cutting in front of him. Some of the lakes around here like kinkaid or Lake of the ozarks have speed limits permenant or during night on them.

If you make your own lures or rods lets post some pics. Here are a few of my latest

IMO flourocarbon line is a must for DS. I use to use a 6'6" rod but now have a 7' rod and it works alot better. Weights I use is mostly 1/8-3-8. Line sizes I use 6-8lb

How do you guys keep your lower unit from freezing in the winter fishing months?

LOL RW. so true. Awsome fish and i can sense your excitement in your post.

One of the places I fish alot has 3 lakes on it. Most of the time I switch lakes because of a scenery change. In the winter months I fish the clear lake most of the time, spring the stained weedless one or the murkey weedy one. Its more of a decision based on the day or sometimes I will fish 2 of them. So most of the time its 3 lakes

oops sorry bout that. Here is the link I ment to post its the TX version. I cant find a 1/16 and I dont know if it accepts wide gaps http://www.do-itmolds.com/products/jigmolds.php?UID=200601280854064.245.76.238&category=tapered_tube_skirt_jig
