Fisher of Men

Anyone???? :-[

Drama: The Natural Comedy: Major League Honorable mention would go to "61" and "The Sandlot". O.K. I might get ribbed for this, but I also though "A League of Their Own" was really funny. (the thought of John Lovitz interacting with that ugly girl makes me laugh)

Hey guys, I tried searching this topic, but came back empty. I apologize if I'm "beating a dead horse". I came upon a 3+ year old BPS Mega Tournament reel with 4 ball bearings/graphite body. I'm trying to set the casting brakes, but I don't see notches like the Shimano brakes. They look like their not set, but the only other setting allows them to pop out from the spindles/shafts. I've searched the 'net pretty well to find no information available on the subject. Does anyone know how to set these brakes up or know of a good website with pictures or perhaps a website with copies of the schematics and reel instructions? Any information is appreciated. Thanks, Fisher

Chaddy and Paddler, Thanks for the replies so far. I'm still not even sure that she will take to the baitcaster, so I'm waiting to see if she gets the hang of it or not. Of course I went from Zebco 33 to a Garcia 5000 (that's all there was back in the day) and grasped it. She's not quite as passionate about fishing as I was, though. From the sound of adjusting the brakes, I might be better setting her up with something else. -Fisher

Maybe it's a cane pole? Everything else vintage is gaining in popularity.

I'm seeking some input regarding the use of this combo: http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10151&catalogId=10001&langId=-1&partNumber=98355&hvarTarget=search&cmCat=SearchResults I've never been a Quantum user, but have heard that their products have improved over the years. I plan on converting my 9 year old daughter to a baitcaster this year. I am setting her up with an old Shimano B-mag 1000 and pro-comp rod until she gets the hang of it. Afterwards, I am considering buying this combo. I looked at it at BPS and liked it (good action and smooth reel). Do any of you have kids that have fished with it? Any input would be appreciated. -Fisher

I found it very annoying as well. . . almost as annoying as Target and Old Navy commercials.

Oh, and did I mention, the temp was a comfortable 60 degrees. Oh, sorry, :-X ;D

We were able to see the full moon from dusk just until the lower left of the moon's disk was beginning to cover (probably about 10%). Then the clouds began to roll in. Thanks for the pics, John. I might share them with my students.

Hey Muddy, Consider this: Your friend, Fisher

Barney? How about Mom and Dad? : In my day we learned by doing and getting busted in the chops if we did something wrong. (In an old man's voice) "You young whipper snapper!!!"

HEY, NOW!!!!!!! >

Being a Science teacher, I found these to be funny, although I think some of my students have used these before. :-/ Enjoy!! Subject: Science Children's science exam answers.

Say what? He was always fishing Florida phosphate pits. You mean you DON'T fish Florida phosphate pits all the time? :-?

I have to admit you got me on that one. After reading #1, I paused for just a moment and thought, "But you'll burn the fire out of your throat!" Just for a moment. Blonde moment. :-[

I've tried to watch it, but it's a bit too fast paced for me. I always like to see them reveal that it's a joke and see the reaction. As far as family oriented, I don't know. Some of the content of the show seemed a bit questionable to me (but then again, maybe that's just me). Maybe better suited for the 10 and up crowd? IMO

Back in the day. . . oh, it makes my head hurt!! :'(

Late night: Fortunately, I've cut most of these out of my diet. It used to be Blue Bell Homestyle Vanilla ice cream or popcorn and a Coke. Fishing: I eat the heck out of jerky, sunflower seeds, and peanut butter on cheese crackers. Usually I'll just drink bottled water (a Coke every now and then).

It's good to hear that you are learning to cook. I had to learn such skills out of necessity. My mom died of cancer when I was 17, and my dad didn't help alot, so I was left on my own to learn such domestic skills. Since being married, it has been beneficial to be able to share those duties with my wife. I feel our relationship has thrived due to such things. Keep it up!!

Yes, I'm really tired of reality TV. Last year, a teacher from our school district was on "Wifeswap". She and her husband are in the salvage business and live on the wrecking yard. They even came in and filmed my daughter and other teacher's kids in her computer classroom. They never used ANY of that footage. The family has three very polite boys who I've had in my Science classroom. On the show they were made out to be very rude and inconsiderate. Almost ALL of the show was staged. What a crock! I quit watching it after that.

Practice does make perfect. I've been strumming around on an Ovation for about three years now and am probably only as good as someone would be if they practiced daily for about a month or two. I go in spurts and notice when I practice consistently for a couple of weeks, I improve dramatically. Stay focused, learn the chords, scales, and persevere. Another good site to find 1,000's of songs is Chordie.com.

I'm with Hookem down. Pure and simple H2O. I've never tried the energy drinks and don't plan on it. I'll have a couple of cups of coffee in the morning, but I've never saw the need to put my heart through as much stress as those drinks will put it under. I do remember as a teen drinking some Jolt cola. I remember their slogan was "All the sugar and twice the caffeine". Do they still make that stuff anymore?

Never buy memory at Radio Shiz. Never mind that they're overpriced on every single thing they sell. xD memory cards can be had at Wal Mart for the same price you'll pay for SD cards. Yeah and while you're at Wal-Mart, talk to those "well-edumacated" sales associates :-X Dude, I'm well aware of that, and I very rarely rely on ANY advice that a Wal-mart associate gives me, although there are exceptions. I DO however trust the advice of my fellow BR buddies, that's why I posted this here. I appreciate the advice on the other camera's, but the deal is done. I'll have to accept the consequences/benefits of purchasing the Canon.

My mother always did that with me. I used to laugh at her when I was like 15. She'd hit the brake and out would come that arm. I'm like, "You know your arm isn't going to stop me!" Gee, I miss her. Those were the good old days. Guys, this is a great thread. I think it's some of the BEST trash talking we've ever done without getting the thread closed. 11 pages and counting. GO TEAM DEPENDS!!!

I'm with you Burley. I tried to watch this the other night and I don't think Paul or Pauley EVER touched a bike. Stick a fork in this show, it's DONE!!! I did, however, watch a VERY entertaining Modern Marvels tonight on "The Pig". Am I weird for that?
