    Nobody fishing?

    They seemed to be unprepared beginners with bad luck. They didn't notice the 2 foot water rise. Floated down to sheer sides, fought like hell when the wind got stronger to not blow into said cliffs, and were totally wore out when we happened across them, floating down the river. We were the...

    Nobody fishing?

    My buddy caught this fat cat last night on one of those sea urchin lures. Didn't get a picture of the lure, but will have some for next trip. Rescued a family after dark on the way back at about 10pm. He was on a blow up paddle board. Wife and 2 kids in a blow up canoe. It was high tide...

    Great day fishing today. Went out again this morning. There was a cool four mph breeze on the water until about 0930 or so. 94 degrees at the dock when we started, 116 when I got in the truck at about noon, to load the boat. Thank God for good ac in the truck. I caught 11 smallies. My...

    The mountains where I grew up, flourescent green mister twisters would catch just about everything.

    Thinking my shifter is a bit different than the one on ebay that I posted pics of. It actually says us marine on the front. No yellow bracket on the inside. Regardless, I will have to spend some time and remove the box and oval out the top of the hole if it is to be pulled upward. Didn't...

    Its a US Marine controller, out of the 1990 bayliner capri. I didn't seem to get pictures of it outside the box we built to mount it. I did get pics of the repair I made to fix the broken pull to put it in gear. Jbwelded some stainless mesh on the outside and stainless pins on the inside to...

    Building a fishing boat.

    We've even toyed with hanging a lantern above the bamini. I will remember to put the spotlight in the dry bags when packing up. Won't be out at night again for another month. Thanks, thats a great idea. But, even the least expensive option there, cost 3/4 of what we have put into the boat...

    Building a fishing boat.

    Second trip out, motor started up great. We caught a couple big fish, 4 lb smallie and about a 6 lb striper, and a little smallie. It was really dark for the ride back to the ramp. Went slow. The wind kept up with the exhaust, so at times it was like we were in fog. Flashing mile markers...

    Nobody fishing?

    My wife (35 years) usually waits till my hairbrained idea fails and laughs. Then comes commentary. "Did it hurt? Betcha won't do that again? Did you learn something?" And laughs some more. Figure I keep her entertained... :LOL:

    Throttle worged as expected on Saturday. Thanks all for the hekp with it. The manual says something about a warmup button the control box. I donh have such a thing on mine. Is there a way to rig one up, or would that require a different controller?

    Nobody fishing?

    They can be setup weedless, or in a texas rig. My nephew says they work pretty well in Tennessee where he lives as well. Local sporting goods stores, including bass pro, don't stock this color, I got them on amazon.
