sounds good....I think I'm going to head up there tomorrow and test my luck since its going to be pretty nice

wow this thread has came alive! Nice report and pics Wayne, your always on point!

What a game

ROFL!

No But it may cause you to go bald ;D

BTW congrats on quitting. I know its hard, I watched my dad struggle to quit for about 3 years.

thanks for all the info. I may want to quit one day but I actually enjoy smoking and its not just a habit for me but if our taxes continue to rise on tobacco here in VA I'm going to be forced to quit. I don't see how you guys further up north pay $5 and $6 dollars a pack, thats crazy!!

lol i know what ya mean... : Well I use to smoke menthols for the first year and a half and never really had any lung/throat problems but it seemed to bother my sinuses a lot so I switched to regular lights and I feel fine now. I found out that the couple times my friends coughed up blood it was because they smoked a couple packs of newports a night, not good.

lol yeah getting hung up is really fun especially on a blistering hot day Glad to hear someone else has made the trip recently, I also cannot wait until it warms up a bit because I have the itch to try out my new spro swimbaits and maybe catch me one of them famous 10lb briery bass ;D

...are very bad. On occasion after a night of drinking and smoking, some of my friends who smoke menthol cigarettes will cough up a small amount of blood in the morning. Has this ever happend to you? I think they need to switch to regular cigs or quit smoking all together.

I just decked my 12ft V the other week, man was it a fun project. That boat will look sweet once your finished. BTW if you chose to go with just one battery I would leave at the bow and just mount it on the platform and center it as much as possible. I bought a battery box for my battery at walmart and just bolted it down on my deck and used the battery box top to secure it and it does the job. Its also easier to get to the terminals that way to hook up your trolling motor rather than mounting it up under the platform.

talk about bad luck...

Well due to getting a gift card recently for BPS, I was thinking about selling the TM I have now and buying a brand spanking new one for this season and I wanted to know if anyone has seen or purchased one of these new MotorGuide Varimax trolling motors and if anyone has a review on it. http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_10200461_225001001_225000000_225001000_225-1-1?ordProd=Y&CMID=TOP_selectitems#itemDetail The only thing I don't like is not having the telescopic handle like the minn kotas but I can deal with that. The feature that stands out to me is on my jon boat I use trolling motors both trandsom and bow mounted depending on what lake I'm fishing and the new Varimax has the feature of easily rotating the head for both type of mounts and I just wanted to know if anyone has used this feature and how easy it is. Any info would be great! ;D

Thanks guys! 8-) Yeah it was definently fun, it took me all of 6 hours to do yesterday but it cost me very little to make so it was worth it. I sure hope its stable lol

Before... After... What do you think? I still have to mount the battery under the deck but other than that shes ready to go!

I have an aluminum jon boat and instead of sanding and re-painting, I was wondering what type of vinyl I could buy for the outside of my boat? I just want it to a be a simple smooth one color either navy blue or red and I need about 12 to 13 ft of it.

Occoneechee State Park also has plenty of cabins to rent out if you need extra room and they are super nice. They have heat/ac and pretty much everything else you need besides a tv, they sleep 6 people all for around $87.00 a night.

Thanks for the replys fellas, I guess there isn't really anything to do then but try it out. Hopefully I can talk my gramps into going sometime in february or beginning of march, the weather outside still needs to warm up a bit before my gramps will want to go.

Sounds nice, I'm guessing you are rigging yours up for some serious small lake fishing? I just want something big enough so I can get out on Kerr resivoir so I can save some driving from going back and forth to Briery every time I head out ;D

Anyone fish at Hyco Lake in NC? I have never been on this lake but I have fished a lake close by(sister lake?) called Mayo a few times in the past with my gramps and would like to find out a few things about Hyco. I know there is a power plant on it and would like to know about how early in the winter does the water start warming up for spawn? My grandfather sais he doesn't really know how to fish this lake due to its relatively flat and slick bottem so any advice is appreciated!

sweet ride!

Well...being that I hate all 4 teams my guess would have to be Baltimore and Philly. Maybe they will tie....someone should tell Mcnabb its not possible in the post season

I recently watched the snuggie commercial on a really late night that I had and the older fellow with white hair in the red snuggie looked like the pope to me... ;D

lets see... here you have a story that reveals the transformations power of persistent and sacrificial love without being trite or short-cutting the process. you have powerful acting from a whole cast of characters. you have conflict of cultures and identities, which finds plausible resolution. you have a great window into a microcosm of the changing american identity. you have a subculture trying to define (and re-define) itself within that american experience. oh, i dont know... i guess your right... i should have popped in superbad and rolled tape. : lol superbad is definently not in the same category but my take was it was almost a pointless movie unless you like watching something about morals, values, and diversity in a community. I dont know about you but I hear enough about that stuff on a daily basis. By far not what I expected from Clint Eastwood, good thing I didn't pay to watch it. Just my take on it....
