Re: crawday color ?

Last year while fishing the delta the subject of craws only turning red during the digestive process was discussed. Not 5 minutes later a bright red craw comes crawling out of the tules onto the mud at low tide and plops into the water. That ended the theory of red due to digestive juices.

Re: Hypothetical situation poll

It is only cheating if an attempt is made to gain an advantage over the other competitors.
For example if you keep 6 fish and one is dead and then weigh the five live ones.
All this being said it is darn easy to lose count if the bite gets hot.

Re: Spooling a spinning reel?... How do you...

Pull out the amount of old line you want to remove down the driveway, street etc. Next pull out the same amount of new line on the ground to the same stopping point. Cut the line and hook it up to the backing and reel it on the spool. Simple and it works everytime.

If you have any compartments close to your cut beware. There is a lip on the edge and you could open a hole into the compartment. It almost happened to me on a Ranger. +1 on the measuring. However Your back will love you for the installation.

No problem with regular treated wood because most marine carpeting has a rubber backing. Remember if you drill holes to re- treat that area before installing the carriage bolts. The wood is not treated all the way through. Some use wood screws but not me.
