  1. Bought Sniper several years ago in 8-12 lbs and only use it as 6ft leaders and it's been excellent. Probably won't need any Flouro for quite awhile. Lack of memory has been it's strength. Imo
  2. Wife has always made outstanding Chilli, certainly a favorite of mine. She actually won a cook-off at a ski resort several years ago. As you mentioned, October is the official start of chilli season, 5 gallons at a time. Don't know her recipe but see she also uses white beans......oh, and no brown sugar. I can't cook a lick.
  3. I've only caught 2 Musky while bass fishing, biggest on spinnerbait and another on Jerkbait. All other toothy critters " pike and pickerel " have all tried to eat a Jerkbait.

    Been an avid MLB fan since the big Red machine and can't feel the same enthusiasm this year, obviously. Reds simply don't have the bats to beat Atlanta, pitching is great though. Statistically the Dodgers have to break through. You can not keep fielding a team like that and go out early. Regardless of record, Astros are dangerous. Ok I'm done.
  5. Yes, once you add the motor and a deep cycle battery you got yourself a tank. This boat fishes great and everything is in front, foot throttle and steering but takes a while at the boat ramp removing battery and motor pod......it's over 100 lbs.
  6. It's very well made, solid. Came with a rudder but I removed it, it tracks well. You can watch video where others have mounted a trolling motor where the rudder is. I mainly use this boat in rivers and small lakes while camping......yes, like it.
  7. Happy birthday.....how old ? Lol
  8. I've not seen any self propelled Kayak under a $1000 but many options for paddle only. Google best fishing kayak under $1000. I currently own 2 fishing yaks and can tell you an elevated seat is an absolute must for casting and visual. This is my latest boat for $899 with lots of dry storage and tracks all over the place for add-ons. Vibe seaghost 110.
  9. Chiefs are clearly the team to beat in the AFC, much expected.
  10. Looks like a money hungry plopper.
  11. Couldn't tell you how many reels I've dropped or accidentally stepped on, it'll be fine. I clean and lube all my reels when the fish quit biting, January usually.
  12. 2020 MVP award goes to.....Jerkbait. Honorable mention.....Spinnerbait. Why ? They kept putting fish in the boat. Lol
  13. The WP has been a steady producer at dusk this year and as someone mentioned, they cast a mile. They're fun to throw hook-up ratio is outstanding. Here's good fish on a bone 110 I believe.

    Maxwell house for top water. Folger's for T-rig plastics. Decaf before fronts.
  15. Hope you have a speedy recovery and are setting some hooks soon.
  16. Always have dedicated an afternoon to hook sharpening, pays off. Imo I watched this fish bump a Jerkbait and hook itself.....notice no hook on inside of mouth.
  17. Growing up, seining minnows was the norm before every fishing trip.....can't think of a better SM bait. Try a pearl fluke in the same waters.
  18. Interesting, not heard of the crazy Alberto but Alberto is the only leader knot I've ever used.....trimmed flush with no issues wrapping 7 up 7 down. With Neds and drop shots I'm always bending hooks without break offs using 15# braid to 8# Flouro. I also prefer the leader knot to stay out of reel, helps with casting. Maybe test some different knots and see how they do.
  19. The wife and I take flight quite a bit, or use to and long layovers made an otherwise very laid back person " myself " rather grumpy. Hope your richly rewarded with double digit fish.
  20. Ahhh, around here we call it the pre-rut. Lol It would be nice if Bass spawned twice a year.
  21. I've always run trailer tires to max psi. Heads up on bearing buddy: Found jacking up each tire and spinning during the greasing process works best.
