  1. The Walmart here in Crossett, AR is all but out too! I agree that this isn't good and precautions need to be taken. I agree with the NCAA, NBA, MLB, NHL and NASCAR as far as canceling events or not having fans in attendance. This seems to be a moving target, but from what I'm reading or seeing things are getting somewhat blown out of proportion. As long as you are reasonably healthy, you should be just fine if you get it. Fever, aches and coughing. One guy tested positive and didn't even know that he had it. The vast, vast number of people worldwide seem to be surviving.
  2. I agree, this year's ad isn't much. I'm still going to drive to the Little Rock store on Saturday. I haven't missed one of these in 20 years, almost a rite of spring for me. However, if next year's sale isn't any better, this will be my last.
  3. BPS carries a cover, 10' X 48", $39.99. Maybe it would meet your needs.
  4. Try calling Tracker. Might be a little expensive, but I bet they would have one. I ordered some carpet from them to cover a flipping deck I built on my old P/T 185. I received it with zero problems, matched perfectly.
  5. Hey Augustin, I have a Sun Dolphin American 12. There are a few YouTube videos concerning modifications. He put seats in his. There is 3/4" wood under the seats according to his video, so you can securely mount swivel seats. As far as a floor, make a cardboard template first. Then transfer it to your plywood, preferably marine grade, if not at least treated.
  6. If you're into Smallmouth Bass fishing, Billy Westmoreland's book, "Them Ol Brown Fish" is a great book. A little Dale Hollow Lake history, info about Billy and some of the old time guides. Tony Bean's book, "The Last Smallmouth" is great. I also enjoyed Ray Scott's book, "Bass Boss". By the way, I have both Yelas and Ike's books too. I enjoyed both.
  7. For me it was Bill Dance. Once we got cable TV, I really started enjoying The Fishing Hole too.
  8. MN Fisher, I've really enjoyed following this. Thanks
  9. As a little boy, my dad taught me to never brag. Fast forward over 50 years, my old boss at Bass Pro Shops in Kodak, TN (Sevierville) quit to become a trout guide in the Smokey Mountains. He invited me to go on a trip. Johnny warned me about how slick the rocks were. I replied "I've been wading for trout and smallies for over 40 years and I've never fell in!" I promptly took about two steps and decided to lay down in the river! Dad, I'm done bragging, lesson learned.
  10. I saw that. He did a heck of a job! I own one of those boats to float small rivers and creeks.
  11. I've recently moved to the Crossett, AR area from Knoxville, TN. I would love to bend someone's ear a little before heading out. Some of the area's are a little confusing to me. I've been fishing practically my entire life, seriously bass fishing since my late 20's. I'm 60 now. Not going to lie about it, I've mainly been a "River Rat" fishing for smallies although I have fished almost all East TN lakes. Especially those with large smallmouth bass populations.
  12. I love "Creek Fishing Adventures"! I have fished many of the places that he fishes. I really enjoy wading for smallies and even trout from time to time.
  13. RIP Forrest Wood. You were a true pioneer of our sport and a gentleman.
  14. Now that I live in southern Arkansas, my closest DSG is in Monroe, LA. The fishing Dept. was terrible. No big deal, there's an Academy in Monroe and a well stocked mom and pop nearby.
  15. Us Vols fans are good folks, especially when a child is involved. Sam is right, just a hiccup in the road. I sure hope we get over the hiccups soon.
  16. Due to the arthritis in my hips and knees, I only buy high end New Balance, Asics or Brooks sneakers. So I spend a minimum of $100.00 a pair. Love to find the more expensive sneakers on sale.
  17. I'll never forget, and to be completely honest, I'll never forgive.
  18. Absolutely beautiful!
  19. What he said, other than being at the first two games. GO VOLS!!!
  20. What he said!
  21. Between high school football, the military and a 35 year Law Enforcement career, my lower back, hips and both knees all have arthritis. I won't say that CBD has taken away all of my pain, it hasn't. I will say that I have more good days then bad and that the bad days are a lot better. One thing, don't buy you CBD oil at a gas station or some fly by night, here today gone tomorrow pop up store. Get it at your pharmacy. You'll probably pay more, but I rest assured that what I take is lab rested pure.
  22. Your experience is crazy, I don't blame you for being mad. At the BPS I worked at, management insisted that we opened every boxed reel to let the customer hold it, spin the handles, etc. To my knowledge, they still do. When I first started, I was some what amazed at the reels that made grinding sounds out of the box. Some reels would bind up, again straight out of the box. Pretty much every brand.
  23. Count me in as an Academy fan too! Our Knoxville, TN store used to have a terrible hook and weight selection, more empty pegs than product. Academy seems to have fixed the problem as of spring 2019.
  24. The BPS store (building only) that I used to work at was for sale. Might still be. Same deal, automatic leaseback. This store is far, far from under performing. Maybe Outdoor World is wanting out of the real estate business.
