If you’ve had a bowfin in your boat, you might change your tune about wanting to catch dinosaurs

I’d go back and fish with my old man a few times, don’t care where

Ah the old shaft fouler...... good trick

Got the first one out of the way, nice fish! (And boat)

I miss 99.9% of all bites when I fish with a bobber. When I take the bobber off, the fish magically get hooked.

I only fish alone when everyone else is busy. I would much rather share almost any life experiences with other humans. It may be an Appalachia thing, all we’ve ever had is each other give me good times with old friends or even total strangers over solitude, I’ve met some great people along the waterways

We have next to zero if not zero cottonwood trees

Here’s a video on the subject, I thought there were BR topics also but I couldn’t find them

Or maybe I’m not wrenching it tight enough haha. I did almost cut my hand once....

I ain’t got that much torque, But I do keep a chunk of 2x4 that use as a transom saver haha My Prop nut can easily be removed without a block, I guess because it’s only 50 hp

Crank baits and jerk baits will swell up and explode in there , I have a carport nowadays but I haven’t always and my hard baits used to explode out in the driveway at my old place

Ha! Never thought about that part. I would be a comedy act trying to pull that off and end up singing like a bird (like Carlton trying to pull one over on uncle Phil on fresh prince)

Thanks for the review, do you like the scum frog rat?

I’ve never had a bottle of super glue that lasted more than a single use, one of my least favorite products in the history of capitalism Suffice to say, I don’t use that stuff for anything, definitely not fishing

I hate watching a bobber with a passion. Inevitably something will pull it under and I miss the fish. Take the bobber off and the fish is as good as hooked, darndest thing I’ve ever seen

Well you better go dunk them in the water and see what happens !

+1, I don’t think I could handle that plus all the other stuff falling apart that wasn’t recalled

If I could have back all the money I’ve wasted on ice cream and give it to the bait monkey........ I’d have a lot more plastic worms I hope my fiancé never reads this thread or she will want to try all the ones she’s never had

So you’ve got a magic fishing lure that you haven’t used in a year?? I can cast them out for ya and report back.....

Best soft plastic craw? Strike king bitsy tube. Not a craw by definition but they bass sure think it’s a craw

“The tie that binds”

You probably catch more and bigger fish than me , I just don’t really care about weather because it’s going to do whatever it wants. And so will the fish. I just want to be there with a chance to catch them as much as possible. We as humans have a way of convincing ourselves that we are correct when really we don’t know jack

I’m just going fishing if possible regardless, I’ve never been much of a thinker haha. Every time I have some thought about “fish should be eating this or that because the weather is this or that” it turns out to be absolutely completely wrong almost every time. So I keep bibs and a rain jacket in the boat and say forget about the weather

I never look at weather forecasts because they are not only erroneous but totally useless to me

Yea it’s fun! The pigeon river has been polluted by a paper mill in canton North Carolina for about a century now. It’s finally healthy now for the first time in a long time and guess what........ the paper mill is looking to amp up production and most likely amp up pollution. Many have drawn a connection between the poor economic conditions in Newport and the direct water pollution coming from NC
