Smart lady

Well we buy them by the case haha. But they are re usable, i just keep one set at home and when it catches a mouse, throw the mouse out and reset the trap. I catch 3-4 a year it seems (at home)

I like round ball 1/8 oz heads

^first thing that came to mind

The mice are the ones laughing all the way to the bank. A victor wooden snap trap is and always has been the best trap on the market, I would imagine for over a century now. This trap can’t hurt a pet, unless of course you have a pet mouse. Also, they are ninety cents, I dare you to beat that price. It’s comical how much stuff is out there for sale. Please everyone for your sanity and mine, don’t overthink mouse problems. Got mice? Set a mouse trap. (Insert mind blown meme/GIF here) If they steal the bait, you’ve got them right where you want them. Rebait and try again. If you can’t outsmart a mouse…….. well………

Our gas is right around $3-$3.15/gallon currently.

I tossed this little ditty around at the rock quarry the other day, got a fish on the first throw. Bad luck? Nope got one on the second throw too

I’ve dabbled! They were also very awesome. Smart little boogers tho

Wow great catches!!! how big was this one??? Looks massive

It’s like that but way better! Haha. I don’t know what it is about redfish and speckled trout but they are top notch. I guess since they eat crabs and shrimp they are automatically delicious as a result?

We think he might be beagle/basset but not sure. My wife dragged him down to the rock quarry while I wish fishing the other day. He isn’t too thrilled about fish but our big dog is, she has nearly swallowed a few whole. Then again she’s 83 lbs and will eat anything given the chance

is that braid or fluoro?

I can fish year round but work and daylight savings always screw that up so I usually go hiking, cook on a meat smoker, chop wood, clean out gutters, and watch other people fish on the internet

Preventing mice from entering anything larger than a mason jar is an exercise in futility. Keep traps set around the wheels or poison in the boat if there are no pets around (or both)

At least that 6 inch angle iron didn’t eat your brand new one…….

If you got the money, replace them. I replace mine when the rubber flies off……. Carlisle is a good brand from my experience but seriously its kind of a personal preference. My grandpa always said “your life is riding on your tires, always get Michelin.” Sage advice, yes, but not totally necessary. Fast forward to my professional career, driving a company vehicle 100-200 miles every single day for my boss who is frugal and slow to act. I’ve driven many many many miles on crap tires and many many many miles on good tires. You can flat a new one just as well as an old one with a properly placed nail. Murphy’s law states that you will puncture a sidewall on brand new tires far more often that you will on old ones. I put two used tires on the back of my personal pickup two years ago for $50/apiece, still doing fine (I don’t drive it nearly as much as company truck). Sure I would love to have Michelin tires on everything but I don’t own any oil rigs in Dubai. Also there’s only one thing I’ve ever done with tires and that’s wear them out. A rubber tire isn’t that complicated of an entity so I don’t feel like I need a premium one just so I can wear it down on asphalt. I usually buy middle of the road tires made somewhere in America now we parlay this same info to boat trailers. Like @Tennessee Boy stated, all a trailer tire has to do is roll. No power is being applied to them so traction isn’t a top priority. Even tread wear is about all I look for. That being said, if you drive around with bald trailer tires it’s only a matter of time until the rubber flies off (I know I’ve done it haha). That’s why I said if you’ve got the money just buy them, no harm no foul. Just be prepared for Murphy’s law to eat your brand new tires out of spite. In fact always be prepared, some vehicle lug wrenches won’t turn trailer wheel lug nuts. Another thing about blowouts is they shouldn’t completely destroy anything unless for some reason you don’t know it’s flat. I’ve had plenty of flats (company cars, boat trailers, lawn mower trailers, etc) and never went careening into a tail spin, just pull over and change the wheel……….. The answer to the question “how do you tell?” is indeed by just looking at the tread (“inspecting”). I’m sure somewhere along the way we’ve all heard of the penny test. Stick a penny in the treads and they should be deep enough to cover honest Abe’s forehead . The guys at the tire store do it all day everyday so they are a little better but it’s not rocket science. Look for uneven wear and how much tread is left and maybe dry rot cracks, that’s all there really is to it I don’t know what brand tires bass tracker uses but I’ve had two buddies that ran the original ones for 12 years before any failures , both of them store their bass trackers outside

That’s a great movie

There was an uptick in traffic on the water last night. I think it’s because the news weather person said “this might be the last nice day of the year” and people flocked. Mostly joyriding pontoons and kayaks though. spoiler alert: we have nice days all winter long

?I tried typing some things but I failed……

Ours is an expert at the sound!!! He can’t see much with his nose in the ground though

This guy is ridiculous. He did so well for about 1.5 miles then flipped his lid and I carried him for a ways haha. I probably should have left him out there but I’m a softy (and he would have smelled his way back……)

Hahaha thanks! I drive by like 6-8 tackle shops everyday…….. the struggle is real

If only I was a hunter………

They’ve been working good for me lately
