  1. The workers were in the process of putting cones around the sight. IMHO there is no case here. You just can't fix stupid.
  2. I bought one for our Wii. I was disappointed in the graphics and the controls. I thought it was difficult to use, didn't respond well. But then, I'm not a gamer. I also didn't like the fact that you have to earn your way up to more and better tackle. There is a mode where you can just fish but I was still disappointed with the way you controlled the boat, reeled in the line ,etc. After playing Wii bowling, which is very responsive, Rapala fishing rates a
  3. Egads! Just how steep is that hill? It doesn't even look like its possible for a car to drive up it.

    Yuk. I liked it better when girls were attractive and prided themselves on their looks, demeanor and dress. Guess I'm dating myself. I've seen so many tattooed girls and women anymore, it's a complete turnoff for me. JMO.
  5. Heading for Ocean City with the fam, next week. While they're at the beach I thought I might give some of the pier fishing a shot. I have no idea what to bring in the way of tackle, hooks, artificials, etc. I'm sure I could rent stuff, but if I already have it, why rent it. What species should I target, and when. I have a couple of Musky rods as well as some larger cranks and spinners. Any advice would be appreciated.

  7. Glass bottom mugs were used so that as a man was draining his pint of ale, he could keep a watchful eye on the character sitting across from him. Hence the term, Here's looking at you.
  8. No, I'm going to try to go today.
  9. Now that you've brought this up, my computer is slow as well and I occasionally get the same virtual memory box. I know I have a lot of processes running in the background and would like to end some of them but I don't know how to tell what they are doing and which ones to close.
  10. What power and action rods are you guys finding best suited? I too am shore bound. I have never tried this technique but would like to.
  11. I feel bad for slim jim eaters too. NASTY BTW- anyone ever squeeze one? what's the orange slime that comes out??? Vitamin G------------------------------Grease
  12. Easy Rider Cape Fear (the orig) Billy Jack movies
  13. Same here, Happy 4th. Not designed to be a political statement, but let us remember this country's roots, that made it the greatest, strongest, freest nation on the face of the earth. May She always be that way. For all it's faults, there no place else I'd rather live!
  14. I'm reading them both. Walmart has Common Sense for about $8.00, if they're not sold out.
  15. Now you know why Chinese bamboo under the fingernails was an effective torture method.
  16. So, does anybody have any tips for what might work this evening with cool temperatures and showers. It's been raining for 4 days, I'm going!
  17. Wow, that is just heartbreaking. I can't even begin to know what that family is feeling.
  18. Not only was the line hilarious but Dean Martin was flicking cigarette ashes into George's coffee cup. ;D
  19. Excellent explanation, thank you. The real crime here, IMO, is the bailout with non drinking taxpayer money. Everyone else got what they deserved by perpetuating all the unsecured debt. Any one of them could have stopped at any time, or better yet, not even started with the unsecured loans, but greed got in the way. Caveat Emptor.
  20. At our local pond last night for a little evening and night fishing. Caught 2 nice Crappies, on tiny Ikas, tipped with a Crappie nibble. 3 fair size bass, all on either a Ragetail Anaconda or a Ragetail Toad, both Texas rigged. But the surprise came when I saw something swimming in the water and thought maybe it was the Muskrat that lives around the pond. I threw a black Jitterbug past it and pulled it toward the critter but to my surprise, when the Jitterbug got to it, he hit it. I proceeded to reel in what turned out to be a 3 1/2 foot Northern Water snake. Fortunately I didn't have to worry about taking it off the hook as it fell off right at the bank when i lifted it out of the water. All in all, a fun summer evening.
  21. I still have the feeling this divorce thing might be nothing more than a ratings gimmick. Wait and see if they don't somehow start to reconcile after they've milked the separation for all its worth.

    Don't forget the original floating silver minnow, the one that started it all.
  23. for those early morning fish
  24. First of all, I don't fish a jig that much, not a confidence bait for me, so I don't know whether trimming helps or hurts. I did trim some of the brush guards even with the hook point and I thought they were way too stiff so I thinned them out as well. I have thinned out some as well, and, left them long. It seems to me that quite a forceful hookset is necessary to pull all that fiber out of the way and get the hook in the mouth. Maybe that's why I don't have much confidence in it. I recently took one of my jigs and cut the brush guard off altogether, figuring if I'm not in weeds, does it really need to be there? I fished with it a few times but so far haven't caught anything. I was using a Space Monkey that had lost it's "arms" for a trailer.
