Around he most rocks are round and might as well be ice as far as slickness

Make sure to wear your styrofoam armor when entering battle and the odds go down significantly

That would be correct. It grips river rocks that are underwater, slides on mud like skis. I’ve done some nice “downhill” runs in them through wet leaves haha

People always think I’m somebody, I guess I have a standard appearance haha. It’s always something like “oh hey (person x), how ya been?.......... oh I’m so sorry I thought you were somebody else” maybe this means I could lead a life of crime and no one would be able to pick me out of a lineup? Or does it mean everyone would mistakenly pick me out of a lineup? I have accidentally burned several of my finger prints off while messing with campfires........

Have you ever gotten off work, took off your work boots, and then moments later regretted that decision??

Do you have striper?? They are crazy fast

That article was from 2017, it wouldn’t surprise me if they’ve lifted some of those bans. Felt has since been proven that it doesn’t transport exotics any worse than rubber. One of our recent local Trout unlimited meetings included a presentation about didymo. A group of masters students tested felt against all other soles very extensively for a couple years and their finding showed felt was no worse than anything else. The didymo prevalence was related to water chemistry in certain tailwaters, I think it was phosphorus content but I can’t recall for sure. Felt soles can prevent injury and possibly drowning and are back on shelves all over the US after initially being pulled

@blanked, my advice would be to fish just like you would for largemouth in texas. They are different species but of the same genus and eat the same stuff. I’ve caught smallies with ribbit frogs over milfoil and flipping jigs into shallow brush

We have seen zero of the cicadas so far, I’m guessing it’s a summer time thing. But then again they said they should emerge when the ground is like 63 degrees or something

Felt soled tennis shoes would be the greatest thing in the history of all time if possible. If you ever make them I will purchase !!! They’ve done tons of studies and felt doesn’t transport exotics any more than other materials, especially didymo . They pulled felt off the shelves until some real data was established, now felt is back everywhere

I work here sometimes on weekends, still getting sprayed by skunks Monday through Friday ha ha. My buddy Jon bought the business I guess a little over a year ago

Not bad!!! Better than getting sprayed by skunks

Last nights dinner was pretty good!!!!!

I predict urban Meyer retires after 2 years for undisclosed reasons

Might I also offer you don’t have to use ned rigs to catch smallmouth.

Every boat should have a paddle. If you get stuck in the muck or weeds, use the paddle to push out.

Most excellent, good to have you back.

Dude! Thought we had lost you

Looks like you need knee high rubber boots to live there! Beautiful country with water everywhere, my kind of place

6 inches off the bottom is a myriad of tree branches that consume ned heads

I’m going to make something eat it eventually

Is the water clear?

Prayers for the family.

Sweet!
