Are these stocking foot waders, and do they come with the neoprene booties or do I have to buy them separately?
it would have taken me 4 hours to cut out a path with pruning shears. I needed one of these, all purpose machette. If you live in the philippines its the most universal tool around, used for popping beer bottle caps off to attacking your cheating husband with.

Truck Detailing
you can disable the cylinder cutout. The 4 same cylinders are being used to cutout and GM truck owners are having problems with worn valve train parts and oil issues due to this.

Are these stocking foot waders, and do they come with the neoprene booties or do I have to buy them separately?
I wade religiously, i have been wading in the cold lake waters of minnesota for the last 3 weeks and all i have are cheap frogg togg pvc waders. What i want to stress the most to you is that walking in the lake or river you will get your feet stuck in muck, mud, decomposed weeds and when you do you will struggle and possibly fall down wretching your ankle, foot, leg, knee, back.....you will slip on a rock, sumerged tree limb, tree...you will get your feet tangled up in lilly pads, old tires and maybe even a decomposed body. Last saturday i waded the shoreline where no man dare goes, this area about 400 yards long is a landmine of stumps, fallen trees, decomposed rotting trees that collect dead washed up weeds that go to rest below the tree caught by the submerged branches. I crawled over the fallen trees, i waded through the branches and between the big limbs and then i got stuck. My right leg got sucked into a mushy hole and i was up to my nipples in water, i grabbed some branches, they broke off. Now i had to let the rod get submerged and then grabbed onto some bigger limbs and try to pull my body up and while doing this my stuck foot was taking lots of pressure from trying to get unstuck as the suction was incredible. I had to twist my body to try to get my leg and foot to break the suction and i finally succedded. I then proceded to hold onto the fallen tree that led me to the shoreline and made a decision that cost me some repairs to my waders. Instead of walking through the water over the fallen timber again i decided to walk up the steep bank through the prickly needlepoint shrubs and trees to get back to my starting point. My waders are now leaking and i had to find the tiny holes and order some 3m product to make repairs when it arrives. Here is a youtube on the product i will be using to repair my waders which you may need to do in the future to your waders.

Aaron Rogers Traded To Denver?
in that seattle loss you can blame julius peppers for his stupid waving of his arms to signal the packer whom just intercepted a pass to go down when he had 30 yards of open field in front of him. Winning division crowns and then get punked in the championship game is why we always end up drafting near the bottom of the draft and missing out on that special player that can turn around a team. Bears now drafted Fields from ohio state so maybe they get better along with the lions whom had a good draft and new front office and coaching staff with goff at quarterback. Then theres the vikings, what can you say about kirk cousins? if it wasnt for cook the running back they would be a bad team. The reason the pack wins the division is the lions,bears, vikings are not good teams and dont give the pack any competition. I am a packer fan but not a homer, i watch games with my green and gold glasses off and dont drink the green koolaide. Division titles are participation trophies. When rodgers won his super bowl they were a 3 seed wildcard team, no division title needed.

Aaron Rogers Traded To Denver?
the NFL is trying to turn into the NBA where the players whom have like rodgers has 2 years left on their contracts. They start by compaining about wanting to be traded and whining to the press about holding out so they can move onto other teams to create super teams like James Harden did with the houston rockets to then be able to join the new jersey nets with kyle irving and kevin durant. Been a packer fan since 1966, Rodgers hasnt won a super bowl in 10 years, sure its not all his fault but winning division titles is not what fans want to see year after year and then get smacked in the championship games. Rodgers screwed up in the 4th quarter last year against tampa bay, he had tunnel vision for 3 downs and that he can only blame on himself but he wont. I would rather watch a rebuilding team with a new young quarterback working to get better than watchng diva rodgers win another division title and flop again in the championship game.

What exactly happened to spider wire?
using spider wire since 1991, the only problem to this day is the green fades after the first 8 hrs of fishing. Two weeks ago spooled up some new spiderwire stealth green moss color and after 3 days of use it is now looking very light faded green and this is just the way its been since 1991.

What to do when bass jump?
just this past saturday i caught a dink and that little dink took off like a missle. Dink swam directly at me and flew out of the water on a low trajectory and shook his head and the lure came out. The dink landed in the water a foot from me on the edge of the bank. It was all like in slow motion coming at me and nothin i could do but watch in amazement how that little dink got loose.

Help me get fishing decriminalized on my local lake
get the addresses of karen and purchase for her/him a years subscription to a fishing magazine. not for a war but if karen reads about how they handle the fish then she has something she can use against the bass organization and fishing for her benefit.

BASS has their own problems with how they handle fish for a weigh in and then release them to die or half dead miles away from their spawning beds.

Aaron Rogers Traded To Denver?
as a lifelong packer fan i dont care if he leaves. He is 1 win and 4 losses in championship games. He isnt like brady where brady takes less money to allow the team to acquire better players in free agency. Rodgers wants it all and then some and then packers are strapped for money and cant acquire better players. Without rodgers the pack will suck and thats fine with me.

2021 Minnesota Fishing Season
i went today also and i caught 5 bass, wife caught bass and 1 crappie. The crappie started biting at around 8.30 pm as 4 people next to us started catching them like mad using crappie minnows but they were all small. Wife caught hers on a jig with tiny red and white tube and it was the biggest of them all so we gave it to them. I started packing and then the bite went crazy but i had allready broken down the rods and what the heck theres all next week to come back as i am retired.

Pike are nasty
what would you do for $50,000.00 total cash prize. Swim in a small back yard pool for 30 minutes filled with 25 piranah for $40,000.00 or filled with 100 pike for $10,000.00. Naked ??

ask the city council to fill it in and make a playground- park out of it and see if that guy bill smith changes his mind about fishing it.

Plopper 130 = BIG fish bait.
caught bass on 130 plopper and pike but way more hits and misses on it. I have 3 130 el choppos and would like to trade 1 for a smaller one. I do very well on topwater spooks, chug bug, and other popper baits.

Excessive Epoxy on Tatula Rod
when i looked at a bunch of the same rods i was not even looking for an epoxy build up, never even thought that was a thing. When i was making sure all the guides were not bent i noticed that some rods had more thicker guide support and then i got to lookin at the wrap and finish in the light given off from the stores florescent lights and thought the rod with the best looking finish also had the thicker guides. From what i know about rod building which is nothing more than watching you-tube video on how a rod is made i see that a human is actually applying the epoxy around the guides.

Excessive Epoxy on Tatula Rod

Scams!

I need advice
in january 2021 i wanted to be able to use my right dominate hand for not just casting and holding the rod but get used to using the right hand for reeling because i reel left handed and felt i needed to spread the wear and tear between the two hands, arms, shoulders after 2 elbow operations and 3 shoulder surgeries. So i started brushig my teeth using left hand only and wow was that unusual after years of only using right hand and just the muscles needed to brush with left got sore for awhile. Also started using left hand for holding things such as screwdrivers, washing dishes..... now that i started fishing again 3 weeks ago i started casting with the left arm and reeling with the right and again wow what a challenge that was to just open and close the bail and hold my finger on the line and rod to make a cast but i kept to it and just the other day i started with casting with my left and reeling with my right and stuck with it and didnt change the handle over all day. So now i am gettin real comfortable with the left i will start switching the handle every couple hours just to even out the wear and tear on my joints.

Snow... just why?
went out today, stayed away from the lake where i was gettin all the bass last week and tried out a lake and caught nothing. Before we moved on I put on my waders and walked through the brush to the water in a shallow cove and was standing in laid over cattails and weeds when i looked down and next to my foot was a big sunnie in a foot of water and nesseled in the weeds. I geuss it was makin a bed? I seen another movin next to a log in the weeds. We then went to Long Bridge at detroit lakes and under the bridge i caught 2 blue gill on jig with gulp minnow and a bobber. Water only 39 F and i sat my lawn chair in the water and took a seat with my waders on. My waders are not insulated and had 2 pairs of socks on and my toes got cold but i survived. Looking at the extended forecast i am staying home this weekend and will try again next weekend.

For the Bank fisherman: What "pushes" your buttons while fishing?
no matter where i go i find trash stuffed under rocks and worse when a car parks and then leaves they throw all their fast food wrappers out the door. Fricken scum of the earth some people are.
