Re: Tomorrow the big day
Jiggin, in my opinion you are going to the right place to cure you because Stanford is about as good as it gets. My wife trained there and it’s 1st class. Make sure you don’t forget to appreciate the nurses, bud. We’ll all be rooting for you.

Re: Eastman lake today
Dang, there must be way too many carp in that lake if it’s so easy to kill that number of them. They’re over-running the bass and other gamefish, that’s for sure. What do we want - a lake for bass fishing or a carp pond? Only the PETA types should get so pissed off about this. Feed them to the homel...
Re: Casitas
Wow! That’s huge. Lopez and Margie are pumping out some big limits too. I’m anti-FFS personall, but hey just my .02. In the end I think that level of pressure will steadily ruin some fisheries for a while. Looks great now though. Why ban the A-rig but allow FFS? It’s a weird time.

Re: Trailer hitch problem
Thanks, yeah it’s all sound - I found something online for this issue, called a hitch clamp. $20- I’m giving it a try. Takes the play out of the receiver.

Trailer hitch problem
Hey, anyone out there got a fix for a trailer receiver-hitch that has too much play in it? It’s noisy and kinda loose and irritates the hell out of me when I go over any kind of bumps. Thanks.
