Fuel Additives (Ethanol)
I use StaBil in all my gas cans. For the outboard, though, there is a place a few miles from me that sells "corn free gas".

Fishing As An "out"
I like to fish alone. I need and like my alone time. Some times the entire rest of the world seems nuts.

The Big Green Egg
I looked at the "big green egg", in stores. The large one, set in a wooden roll around base was $1400.00. Looks really nice, but for that price, I think I will just go to my favorite BBQ place and let someone else cook and a waitress serve me.

Cooler Summer Water Temps, Where To Look For Bass?
It's forecast to be 95 today and 93-95 all week. I don't see cooling weather to be a problem, here. The heat index is suppose to be 100 all the time, too.

I hope that "waddle buggy" works better than the translation.

What Strength Line Is On My Reel?
You can use a micrometer to measure the line and compare that to a known line like in the sport shop line dept.
-
How Many Rods Do You Use.
I take 6-9 outfits. Four or five of spinning and baitcasting, all rigged with what I want to use for the particular water/conditions, etc. I generally use them all until I find the good pattern and then stick with 1-3 the rest of the day.
-
Should I Go Back To Spinning Gear?

Does Getting Skunked Bother You?
Skunked again, today on a local piece of water. Doesn't bother me too much because the sport shop owners, that sponsor tournaments, on this water, aren't catching anything either. Next time, a different lake.

When Do You Consider A Day Of Fishing A "good" Day Of Fishing?
A good day fishing is any day I get to go. Being out in God's great creation and seeing all there is to look at, flower, fauna, etc. Any time I can figure out where they should be a fish and I catch one there, that is just great.

Cooler Weather/summer Than Usual
When I pulled my boat out of the St. John's river, two days ago, the thermometer in the jeep said 102 degrees F. Not cooler here.

Failed Hook Set Problem
I have that happen all the time especially when fishing those feeder streams into the St. John's. Those streams are full of small warmouth. They will hit worms just as soon as they hit the water especially if you toss the worm up next to tree roots. They will really tear up tequila sunrise and purple/pink curly tail worms. I have lost a lot of worms and hooks getting caught up in tree roots and logs when warmouth grab the end of the worm and run in under "stuff". They are really thick in the Ocklawaha River.

Bass Boat Crash
That kind of boating, in that video, is one of the reasons that I don't fish on the weekend. There are a lot of people, on the water, that like to drive that way. I don't want to be around them. I have fished on the weekend, before I retired, and on easily accessible lakes have always had to put up with people that don't know how to run a boat. Just like driving a car, there is more to it than "go fast". I feel sorry for someone that gets hurt or killed, but that guy was asking for trouble from the first pass he made in front of the camera.

On The Bottom Of Boat Whats The Best Color?
In Doug Hannon's book "Big Bass Magic", the paperback book distributed by In-Fisherman Inc., Page 113, quote, "From the largemouth's point of view, a red metalflake bass boat is about as subtle as a Hawaiian shirt at an actuarial convention. That's why my boat is a camouflage pattern of browns, grass greens and touch of sky blue. I've often had big bass run into the side of my boat, probably because they figured it was a weedbed!" Unquote. I still haven't done that to mine, but it is something I want to try. Hope that helps.

Which Motor Should I Keep?
A hint. Get on the Mercury web site. You can enter the serial numbers of the motors and find out what parts are still available for your motors. Might make a big difference in your choice.
