3x for me, couple Pickerel, that's it. At least your persistence got you the call to begin with.

I'm guilty. At least they were free Dude, that was worth $10 all day long,....it was like we were Tuna fishing and a shark just took the back 1/2 of your bait,lol. ps- The head is still in my truck,lol

Some good area 51 footage

Yea, I need to get over there and check that stuff out.

Not true, Russ... my A/C will freeze you out!! We sometimes have to run the A/C on Christmas, so we can have a fire in the fireplace. ;D Darn Texans,....gotta explain eeeeeeverything,..........you want it cold on the outside,....warm on the inside, capice? ;D

Probably is a cure, but nobody is looking,lol. If it's always 83, you could never fully appreciate hot chocolate w/ Rumple Minze and whip cream (girl scout cookie), a fresh fire and good warm, company

Those were Lunker eggs dude......

When it's a "no name", Run it before praising it Many of these are made in China by people who don't fish and will never test a bait. I've used this exact lure (in yellow Perch), earlier this yr down the Cape, it ran on it's side for the most part I believe Speedbead had some China swims too, he casted it and reeled in only the head,lol Hopefully, this isn't one of those. :

yup, change the name of the pic when you resize it

challenge accepted, I choose Captain George Welcome as my partner and we will be fishing his home water, Stick Marsh/Farm 13, from Jan31-Feb 7 send ticket.

Update-- I'm done, fini', the end. The last few days I've had maybe 4 or 5 "moments" where I even remembered that I used to smoke. Cravings are basically GONE. I cannot believe how easy that was, I wish I had done it 20 yrs ago and wonder if it could have helped my migraines if I did. The specific condition I have , 88% of the afflicted are male and 89% of the males are smokers. Cart- No interaction with any meds, etc, everything was as smoooooth as can be. Now, when I breathe in, there's no flem,....no nasty sound of CRAP in my lungs and throat. NO WHEEZING I have more energy and the circulation issue in my legs is already improving. Amazing. I really am blown away at how effective this drug is. It seems the more people I talk to, it either works like it did for me,...a miracle,...or it sends people over the edge. If you have some of the side effects, you have many, including suicidal thought. I've also noticed though that it hasn't worked for maybe only 1 in 25 people Nobody can tell you when to quit, but when you think you may be ready, you HAVE to look in Chantix. I sent them an email. It was a simple one, it read THANK YOU

And I bet you smile when she does, that's what it's all about, Right on!!

Yes please Grouch- as I understand it, he filled the whole boat so that side seam really isn't a big deal, above the water line. (I think) As for it leaking more from the inside out, the seam never saw pressure like that from that direction before, actually, it only knows that pressure going the other way, from out to in, which probably was helping to seal it a bit. Let's see a pic of the inside but from the looks of the bow, you may need to just replace rivets. Lots of them, but winter's coming,....you have time Also, speaking of winter, don't let any water freeze in the bottom of the boat in between days when you're working on it.

or you could also pack it in there with some cat hair and glass over the whole lot.

ok, thankfully, someone is on the same page as me, I looked at that forecast and said, Monday-nope, Tues-nope, wed, nope- Thurs-Nope FRIDAY! SATURDAY! ABSOLUTELY Different strokes for different folks, to me, the WORST condition would be 87 degrees and bright sun.

Dean, You're from western Mass, what are you doing in our neck of the woods? I learned to surf at Horseneck!! ok, here is a special cove a member here turned me on to, it's almost peak here in RI, NH,Mass, Vt etc must be amazing right now

They hunt with their tongues more than their eyes,right? Or is that just certain species?

sure,mount on bow lip, unscrew the head and spin it 180 degrees. Screw it together again.

I'll start it off,...Glasgo, Voluntown Ct, 7ish this morning. Pic taken from the road, anglers unknown.

Nah, think of it as going into mental training for next yr

These were my exact stats last Monday, the day I quit smoking. 6 days later.....5'7" 126 lbs Burley, I was going to suggest a gym but if the fish you catch aren't helping you burn any fat, nothing will,....those monsters will give ANYBODY a better workout than any gym...... :

First of all, it's nice to see all the help being offered, you guys are awesome. I'm with you too Muddy, I'm one of those arts/science brains,...not math. I was fine with it till they started throwing letters into the mix,lol. I have no problem as long as it's something that can be proven, once the math goes abstract,....so do I,lol. Good luck old man,...you've done a phenomenal job so far and set a good example for some of us older folks who may be considering filling the brain a little more. The end is near though,...keep that nose down and keep grinding, you can do it.

well,. At first, I was considering enrolling for the new mission over at NASA.......something about going to Venus,....but I found something closer to home that will keep me occupied. I'm going into the priesthood. seriously though, I'll be making baits and dancing as a Chippendale dancer for RI's lonely women another 3 nights/week. The church wouldn't let me dance AND preach so I had to pick one,.... :

Good luck Grouch. Hope you see many, many safe hours with her.

I would use a chemical stripper. The more layers, the longer/more work it will take but take your time, it will be worth it. As for the metal being thin, many of these older models actually used a thicker gauge aluminum
