Maybe she'll work him over with the "night stick".

Probably from flying around in that blue Champion!

If it only happens when you start it for the first time, there might be a bad connection at your key switch. Maybe condensation gets in there when it's cold, but it evaporates after it's run a while.
I hate electrical problems!!!!

Nice article, Chris. And I believed everything you told me!

Circle like I do three or four times. Or chance it, like I did, once, and get a parking ticket.

At the dam tackle store!

Sorry Steve, couldn't resist.

Great photo of you and the 10+ in the new Bass West, page 58.
Congratulations again.

Everything he listed in his post is true, from my experience. I use 50lb Super Braid, and I don't break off. I use rods with enough give in the tip to make casting easier, so I think that's the biggest part. I've had the knot slip right out of the hook eye, when I was using 30lb, but not since I've ...

That Licari guy in Lunkers looks awfully good with that toad!
Congratulations again Ron.

You should be able to get some Amiosentithsis needles from a med. supply. Those are the ones they use to check the Amnio fluid in pregnant women. They look like they are long enough by themselves.

Ray,
How about Rejuvenade, needling kits, and Hot Hands as pretournament handouts to all the anglers?
Of course, it's easy to spend your money. :O)

Use 3M spray adhesive. It sticks to pressure treated lumber. But be sure the plywood is dry before you carpet it. It's stacked wet from the dip tanks, and needs to dry out before you carpet it, or the glue won't stick.

mark poulson

Those thing are amazing. I tried to help a guy revive a 28lber last winter back in Elizabeth at Castaic that he'd deep hooked on an ice jig at the bottom of his drop shot rig. He was fishing for largemouth. All I got for my trouble was a shredded thumb. The fish died, and another friend took it home...

I saw people catching them at the bouy line up at the Elderberry end of the Ski Arm. They looked to be casting bait over the bouy line. One guy who was tied up to the bouy line, a local with a small aluminum skiff, had three nice fish, one might have gone over 10lbs. There's a guy who guides there w...

Have you gotten the Leadmaster splitring pliers in yet?

mark poulson

You were right. I didn't see that before. Thanks.
Now I know I'm not crazy, just blind!

mark poulson

I just got the latest issue of Bassmaster Mag. Toward the back, they have a writeup about Ish winning the Shootout, and his picture on the bow of his boat fishing. Am I blind, or does he not have a rod and reel in his hands?

mark poulson

not MYSQUIRELL???

Can you wash and dry a Goretex jacket and pants with a regular load of laundry, if it only has detergent with no bleach?
Will drying it with other things take the DWR off the Goretex?

mark poulson

Last Sunday at Castaic, I was fishing a wall at Sharon's Rest (the lake is down 70'), and I heard a loud thumping, over the roar of the Santa Ana's that were blowing hard. I turned around and looked toward the dam, and there was a Firefighter helicopter, ten feet off the water, sucking up a load to ...

I have an 82lb Motorguide on my Tracker 175, and it's no problem, if you're talking about weight while motoring. It is heavy lifting it up out of the water. If you're not that strong yet, you might want to look at a trolling motor with a lift assist. I know they're out there, I just don't know who m...

Hey Jethro,
That makes you a typhoon!

mark poulson

Ray and Gator,
I think that should be added as part of the official title of TD.

mark poulson

That makes too much sense, so it will never happen.

mark poulson

mark poulson

Rick, I think your right on about learning how to run a circut. You need to have a tough enough skin to do things your own way, and learn to turn down people who are asking for what sound like reasonable "exceptions" to the rules they, and everyone else, have already agreed to. My Dad had ...

mark poulson

Beautiful (the fish, not the fisherman)!

Congratulations.
What were the people in Costa Rica like, and the facilities?

mark poulson

Steve,
I found out that, with single axle trailers, radials tend to make them squirelly, that is, they drift when you're motoring. At least, that's what my tire guy told me, and he recommended bias. That's what I'm having put on right now.

mark poulson

mark poulson

Gator,
How come some threads, like this one, fit on my screen, and some, like the Misty Girls, I have to scroll to the right to read the whole message?

mark poulson

My trailer is a Trailstar.
I keep my tires at 48-50lbs cold, which is what the manuf. recommends.
I am going to check out a "better" tire that my tire guy found for me. I don't know if it's radial or bias.
I'll let you know what happens.

mark poulson

So Ron,
How was the tarpon fishing?

mark poulson

Thanks guys. My trailer did come with bias ply tires. It's a '03 Trailstar, for my Tracker 175. I've heard it both ways now. Definately bias, definately radial. I'm so confused!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: I have had trouble with blistering with the Nanko tires I had on there. My Firestone guy is supposed t...

mark poulson

Thanks all. Rob, that's quite a response. Thanks for taking the time. I'll stick to bias. It makes sense now.
Mark

mark poulson

Is there some reason the tires on my boat trailer are bias ply? Would radials work on a trailer, and would there be any advantage to radials?

Well done. It takes a mature person to choose to change for someone else's welfare. Hats off to you. sTony, Only you know how much you go through keeping this site up and running. I don't think I could do it, or that I would even want to try. But I really appreciate having this forum to read and to ...

Jim, It took me quite a while to "get" the double entandre of the cider deal. I guess that's showing my age. That kind of stuff is like fart jokes. We all still laugh at them, but they're mostly for young boys. I told my kids that they could say anything they were willing to repeat to thei...

Glad you got it back. I hope they didn't damage it too badly stripping it. Fingers crossed.

The silicone caulking in tubes is thick. I'm not sure it's the same silicone used for molds. When we use it to caulk things, it doesn't flow, so it may not make an accurate mold of your lure. If you can't verify that it's the same silcone, but want to try it anyway, I suggest you only buy one caulki...

mark poulson

That is F'd! I can only immagine how rotten you must feel right now.
Post this on the southern board, too.
Couldn't hurt.
Good luck.

mark poulson

If I were upgrading, I'd make sure I had GPS up front. Not just following waypoints, but marking them as I fish, instead of having to run back to the console unit.

Anyone know how much it cost to install a 987 SI? Can a layman do it himself?

mark poulson

If you miss the portapotty, it could happen.
