Thanks Bob but I don’t even have a functioning CD player anymore! Ironically we either do digital or vinyl now. I really appreciate it! I think I had greatest hits and hourglass @Blue Raider BobAnother tune of his I really like is something like “oh boatman, i am the river” 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing how your hard work allows you to accomplish pert near everything, I suggest that you build a Tiki Bar on a deck off the side of your boat. This is an older photo. The umbrella in the photo now resides at the bottom of the Cumberland river. I was fishing just below Old Hickory Dam last year when a surprisingly strong wind came up and snapped my metal umbrella pole. The umbrella fell in the water with the current trying to take it away. I was pulling on the pole and the current was pulling on the umbrella. The current was winning as I was being pulled overboard so I finally gave up and let go! I have a new triple canopy umbrella that is 15' long! I stay completely out of the rain and sun, (unless the wind is blowing), so I can fish when I want to. The new umbrella has a stout pole put I do bring it in when the wind blows. Not sure how the Tiki bar will affect boat performance but I'm always willing to consider new ideas. My friends laugh at my rig but when the August sun is frying their brains, I'm the one smiling then! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is something very satisfying about this pic haha. The only real reason I do not like fishing in the rain is the carpet in my boat. Live learn then get a not carpeted boat haha. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the only scream you will hear there is a loon, or me and Alex, if you take us along! What a beautiful place. We sure get to visit some of natures finest as we chase them ol'e brown bass. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We sure get to visit some of natures finest as we chase them ol'e brown bass. Indeed. Loons, rarely ever another boat or fisherman around in a few of my spots. And some very good fishing, at times. I went into last year lamenting the fact I only had a canoe. Then I realized what I had and leveraged it to access spots the bass boats can’t. As a result, 2022 was a great season for me. ? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought so too, @Blue Raider Bob. However, since @cheezyridr looks just like Lurch and he approaches pond owners for permission to fish, I'm wondering how that goes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
