I was fortunate enough growing up to have dad that loved to fish. Whenever we went somwhere the rods came along. Now he has aged and I take him along. Minnesota, Missouri, New York, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio and my home state of Indiana. Spring of next year we are heading to North Carolina to visit my uncle, (dads brother) and will be able to add that to the list.

I would have sold it to them. Then would have went straight to the tourn director and ratted. Give the director the money to disperse as they felt necessary.

I got a manual from NAPA but it was not free. You will probably have between 800-1300 in repairs depending on how deep you go into the repair. I just did my brothers Merc 115 and had just under 1000 in it including machine shop cost.

There have only been two times I have ever needed 4wd to get a boat launched. Once years ago at a small lake that had a sand launch. The second, I was at Brookville Res. I backed down below the water line. This was on a concrete ramp and it was like my tires were spinning on ice. I couldn't even get up the ramp with an empty trailer. If not for 4wd that day I may have lost my truck.

I replaced the carpet in my boat in 09. I used marine carpet on decks and the vinyl dot on the floor of th boat. I was trying to upload pics but they are to big. If you want pics i can txt or email them to you. Let me know. Not sure if what I have is what you are looking for though.

The first Harley I bought had a tealish blue and silver paint scheme. I hated the color but got a good deal. My plans were to paint it, but it grew on me and now I couldnt imagine painting her. Ohh yeah I almost forgot.....CONGRATS! Nice rig

Got the 37lb model on my 78 MonArk. Very reliable motor. Go on Evinrudes page and look under the parts section. They will have a break out of almost all the engines and motors they made. I can view parts for my 78.

Jigs, I have never really put in the hours to learn how to fish them. I generally use a crank, spinner, or a worm rigged various different ways.

I grew up at Tri-lakes here in IN. How can one not fish living on the water. When my parents split we moved in town. I was about the only kid in Ft. Wayne you would ever see wading in th St. Marys fishing (that may be what is wrong with me now). My whole family from my great grandpa all the way down the tree fish. As far as bass goes it was just a natural progression.

As I have aged I have gotten a little ocd. Everything has it's place and if it isn't where it belongs I get stir crazy. While on the water if my boat gets cluttered I have to stop and re-arrange.

Them carp have a lot of fight in them. I really enjoy catching them, never caught one on a crank though.

Each team can only wiegh in 5 fish. That will even things out. No matter how many people are in the boat each boat only gets 5 fish to wiegh in.

I just recently returned from KY Lake. I got a little burnt on Sunday and Monday went out and got this shirt. I really like the shirt. When you sweat the breeze lifts the moisture and cools you. I was pleasantly suprised at how well the shirt worked at keeping me cool. They do run small and are a compression type shirt. I bought a 2xl and it fits loose, which is hte way I want it to fit.

Please tell, I am interested in that as well!

The aliison was available in the 3/4 and 1 ton with the 8L gas burner.

climbed trees and pulled laydown up to retrieve lures. As much as I hate to loose a lure I get a kick out of my buddies loosing them mid-flight to faulty knots. Laugh my butt off every time.

I would like to learn to effectively flip a jig into cover and work it at various depths. Also, not so much a lure but trying to having patience and slowing down. Last year at KY lake I caught a bass on the 15th cast into some cover. The only reason I continued to cast to it is becasue the guy in the back off the boat was hung up in a tree and trying to get loose.

Luckily I have never had many bad thing happen to me. Last year at KY Lake the bilge pump quit working on the boat and the water was leaking in at a fairly good clip. So I have the great idea to have my friend run the boat on plane while I remove the bilge plug and let the water drain. All was going well untill he decided he needed to turn the boat and the steering rod jabbed me in hte chest. I was yelling at him to turn the other way but he could not hear me over the engine. It ended up tearing my skin and left a pretty good scar. Got the water out though!

Tell him/her you are not coming in today. You do not need an excuse. It is a hipa violation for them to ask about your health. Or you can just tell them you are going fishing. That is what I do, no need to lie about it.

Here is how I would do it on a points system. 1st place gets 20pts 2nd gets 19 3rd gets 18 4th gets 17 5th gets 16 6th gets 15 7th gets 14 8th gets 13 and so on, but with the tie I would give angler 1 and angler 2 to the points for 8th and 9th place and split it between the two 1st - John 20pts 2 - Steve 19pts 3 - Dave 18pts 4 - Ed 17pts 5 - Jim 16pts 6 - Bob 15pts 7 - Nate 14pts 9 - Dusty 12.5pts Sam 12.5pts 10 - Chris 11pts That is how I would score it

I remember telling my dad that when my boys get a little older I will be able to fish more because they will want to go. He just smiled and said "that's what I thought too". A lot of other things take priority over fishing. Trying to adjust that a little bit to get the kids on the water more!

If I had caught that I would have thought it to be a snakehead. Did a little research and found the differences between the two. Thanks for posting a pic.

Sweet! Unfortunately I am not heading down there untill May 5th.
