Maybe just me that is why I asked. Thx for verifying though. Oh I noticed its doing fine now btw

My daughter was telling me just the other day about a coworker having a issue with her neighbor. He was mad at her for not selling him an adjacent lot of land so he started his lawnmower duct taped the handle so it would stay running and parked it as close to her bedroom window but still on his property. She said he siphoned gas from his truck 3 times to keep it going. He started this at 6am one Saturday morning. Some people are just deserving of a good old fashioned kick in the butt.

Is it just me or is the site acting a little odd today? Every time I post it leaves a copy of what I just posted in the box and tells me I cant post again so quick. So its posting it once then it still have my post in the box as if it never posted it. Also starting today i cant give anyone a "like" or reputation thing on their post. I just get the screen like I added a image of to this post.

Videos some times help as you can see as the person explains what to do. I suggest doing a search on YouTube for how to cast baitcaster I would watch quite a few different ones from different people, you will get a much better picture of how to info. When you get where your pretty sure you know what the proper way to cast is practice practice practice. Then if you still find your having issues with backlashes do the same search on YouTube for how to clear backlash there are some really good tips out there.

I guess everyone should buy abu garcia vengeance rods? Triple the distance works for me. Seriously the difference in the rods is not going to double the distance and for sure not going to triple it unless something else is different. Same spec rods with same exact line and lure should be fairly close in distance. I understand one is a 6'9" Medium Heavy and the other is 7'1" Medium fast but that doesn't measure out to triple distance. Are you sure you didn't miss a eye when threading the St Croix MOJO rod?

OMG that is an addiction get this guy some help.

Always have fished the Mann's Jelly Worm since I was a kid. Black Grape or Grape 9" or 12" all day long 5/0 or 6/0 offset worm hook T-rigged.

7' MH/F Mojo with Lew's LFS for 3/8 and bigger. Under 3/8oz I use a 6'6" Team Diawa-V MH spinning rod. But it feels more medium than heavy.

Typical

Same here first PC I built using a just released 300mhz Cyrix chip and a top of the line(retail speaking) 6GB hard drive. Talk about a problem child of a PC. A non dividable bus speed chip with motherboards at the time. But I have seen more than a few having issues with 10. Not saying your wrong but I do know of some having issues. Driver issues that mostly should be resolved with updates but none the less if you use your printer brand X model and there are no drivers its really a mess if its for your business needs. Some people dont want to buy a new printer because of a "free" operating system. Same goes for those who use higher end graphics cards with games such as BF4 that all of a sudden cause some serious game issues. I wont disagree that most issues will be resolved if all of your hardware is recent. The issues arise for those of us who have perfectly good running hardware that doesn't ever seem to get the updates because of the select market you may be in or the fact its over 2yrs old, and they don't give a hoot about the less than 2% ever working. Me personally I have friends who have thousands of dollars invested in some Gerber plotters that to this day will only run on XP or older windows operating systems.

I hated 8 with a passion as well and have delayed doing this upgrade to 10 also. It always bothered me when a company would charge you hundreds of dollars for something and then its "free". I own my other versions of windows for all normal purposes anyway. But you dont have squat if Windows 10 says do this guess what, like it or not, its not yours. And what happens later is what I also wonder how they plan to recoup this money. After everyone is stuck with 10 do they start charging for upgrades or patches/fixes etc? Is your operating system full of advertisements? Maybe none of this happens but it reeks of a scam. Oh well guess I will be like the rest of the sheep.

I offer to help if i see a guy having issues and no one to help him. If you have 3 or 4 guys with you na I let you guys figure it out.

I am no expert but have been around a while and seen the wrong way and sometimes a good way. The worst thing I see is the person getting in a hurry or excited this never ends well. Take your time even if guys start to line up. Its much better to take a few minutes longer, than to make a mistake your will regret for years to come. From my experience most guys will understand as they were there once themselves even if they don't admit it.

I use the Pit Boss for a little bit of everything jig trailers, spinner bait trailers, and t-rig mainly. And they have plenty of color choices making it a great bait. I just purchase the 4" (you get 8 to a bag vs 5 to a bag of 5") as they seem to fit more the profile I find to work for me most often. A 3/0 EWG works nice for me T-Rig but you could use a 2/0 I just like having more hook to be able to come through. A 4/0 will work as well but I don't think is really necessary. You can also use a weighted swimbait style hook for T-Rig them if you like. I saw mention somewhere about making sure to put the lighter side down if you are using the 2 color ones like the Molting Craw. That may or may not make a difference but it made sense so I went with it. I will cut them down if using on a smaller bait as a trailer also. I cant say I have used any of the 5" and I don't really remember ever wishing I had purchased the larger size. I might actually try some 5" ones some time now that we are talking about it. Just a few months ago you missed TW had the Pit Boss for like $1.89 that is when I resupplied. I see others like them as well.

I was having a little fun. I was hoping it was obvious I wasn't serious. This is why i said under the video But yeah I am interested in knowing what one is the better of the three.

Great news. Thank you Now can someone explain to me what makes this a crappie boat? VS say a Bass boat?

OK that sounds about right I never get a "good" deal and dont even see a great deal. HaHa Ahh now the 12/24v thing makes sense. Just asking why would you rip it out if you could just flip it to 24 and leave it there? Forgive me if this is obvious. No it is just like this pic below. But yeah I can see where that would make it like the more current style big platform designs. Could you just build a box and cover it to match that fit that opening real snug and level?

FishHunter says right on their YouTube video description - The World's Most Powerful Portable Fish Finder I have no clue what one is better I only knew of the Deeper one and I wasnt paying that kind of coin.

I'm reading around on the web so far they seem to have a decent reputation. I didnt know if there were certain problem areas I should be looking at? Im guessing they are OK I didnt know the name SeaArk I thought it was a Tracker until I got up to it thinking I might be interested in buying it. Shows you how much I know about boats.

I have come across a SeaArk ZX 180 with a 115 hp Johnson. I'm looking for good and bad input on these as I am no boat expert. This boat is not perfect but is clean and everything works. I don't have pics it was covered and I was looking under the cover at the carpet and seats etc and all seems to be in good order. The owner says it was re-carpeted didn't say when but it looked factory. The fish finder was not a high dollar one, and I don't remember model, but it does work. Same with the trolling motor it was a Motor Guide I think 65lb thrust. The owner said that it worked on 12 or 24 volts? Not sure how that works but he said all the stuff works like live wells etc. This is NOT the boat but it appears identical. I didn't get the year model, Im guessing the early 2000s. Does anyone have a idea what one of these is worth roughly? He is asking $5000.00 Where do you guys check the going rates to boats?

Indeed people who have not been in that same position as the OP should try it. Except have a wife and kids and every bill all riding on your ability to be successful. I was there in a position as described by the OP nothing more. I didn't include hypotheticals I based my comments on where I have been and what he described. Ultimately it wasn't worth the stress and toll it was taking on my health either. Peole do not realize It also effects your relationships with everyone. Family especially immediate family can tell. The way you react and treat the ones you love when stressed sometimes isn't the best. My daughter will tell you I changed for the better as soon as I got out of that high stress environment.

Really where did this thread discuss vets and homeless addicts? That is pretty low but hey since you "refuse to shame, spit or judge anyone when I haven't walked in their shoes... whether it be an addicted laborer or the suit and tie pumping it out to him. " maybe practice what ya preach?

So instead of discussing the 33 year old throwing his life away making problems for all of those who are trying to do right like the OP you still pitty the 33yr old child. Nice

Yeah well if the guys an adult, so he is way past the coddling stage. That is exactly whats wrong with this country. We have supposedly "grown" men who rely on people to play baby sitter and expect to be paid while being baby sat. Then have others say things like he is a good kid, he just needs this, or that, and how it is someones child. No its not, he is a grown man making an ass of himself, endangering other and his coworkers, potentially reflecting negatively on the company, and the supervisor. The time for mom and dad, aunt or uncle, to have guided have passed and its time to wake up and smell the coffee. He is making other peoples jobs hard and could cost them their job. Just look at the OPs post he is definitely stressed over this situation. Is he not someone's father, son, husband, brother etc??? Why is it people now days, so many want to sympathize with the dirtbag. I feel bad for the man who gets up and busts his ass to make a living, doesn't do drugs, doesn't get drunk on work days, shows up on time all the time. And is sent these turds and expected to accomplish a job with this idiot for help. Just because you don't have the OP in a ambulance with a heart attack from stress over these idiots doesn't mean he isn't having medical issues from it. Does he have to be in a ambulance to get sympathy these days?
