    Boat landing lights

    This is hysterical. And I read all of the comments! Some were very funny and still others were the usual macho BS. Still and all, I think I want something like this! :LOL: https://www.facebook.com/reel/1139202895028021

    Nobody fishing?

    I stayed in Christ Church NZ overnight back in the early 80s on my way back from Australia. Beautiful city.

    Nobody fishing?

    Curly tail grub jig! My all time favorite bass lure. And I've caught a ton of other fish on them as well. Up north, white worked well, but down here for bass, the pumpkin green does the trick. For saltwater, I've used white (okay) but "almost" clear/gray got the snook!

    When you are working on your outboard..............

    Man, that sucks! I'm glad you survived it well enough. As an old guy, I've taken my share of falls, even when I think I'm clear of objects. But, the ol' dropfoot happens and I'm not as clear as I think. A couple years ago I did a faceplant into a floor jack. No fun. Got yelled at in the...

    West Marine going out of business... and I can't think of anything I need!

    Yah, that's the way our local store was too.

    Oh! Yes, they are. They're from the donor bass boat. I intend to add some posts to raise them up. "It's on the list." 🤪 For temporary use, I have a seat cushion from my truck to use in the boat. The passenger seat in my truck is very low and not adjustable for height, so I bought a 3.5"...

    1997 Mirrocraft 18' aluminum fish n ski

    I did some more cleaning/clearing and bundled the wire harness as best I can. That bending over upside down stuff ain't for me nowadays. 😵‍💫 The "correct" way to fix that drooping wire bundle is to open it up, cut into each wire separately, insert a long extension, then solder everything back...

    Nobody fishing?

    Alligator indeed. When I sent the pix to my buddy locally, he said the 'gator would probably cook up better than those little fish I caught and give a larger meal. :LOL: I've had 'gator a few times and don't care for it. Tastes like fishy chicken.

    Nobody fishing?

    My wife and I headed over to the fishin' hole this evening. We haven't been fishing since March. We were definitely overdue. I hooked 10 bass and landed six. I got the first fish on the first cast, which can mean bad luck, but not today. My wife catches bluegill to use as bass bait. She...

    Really dry around here

    So, we were all hoping that the depression sitting close to us in the Gulf was going to turn into a low intensity tropical storm and come sit on top of us for awhile. But, it must have heard us thinking and changed directions. :sneaky:

    Really dry around here

    When I was a kid living in Maryland in the 60s, my uncle was a member of a sportsman's club. They had a bunch of ponds where we'd go fishing. One time, my dad and I decided to swim a bit... and came out covered in leeches! Ewww! o_O

    Really dry around here

    Yeah, I wouldn't, but many people do. Personally, I won't swim in anything but a concrete pool. And that includes up north! When I was first stationed in Spokane Washington in the early 1980s, I often thought of going swimming in the lakes there because there were no gators. Then I read a...

    Really dry around here

    My wife and I went over to Lake Henderson located in Inverness, FL today, to have a look for ourselves. It's our favorite lake. Reports were that the lake had dried up significantly and the ramps were closed. It was a nice time together to check out the lake, spend some time and grab a bite...

    And I'm back to work on the boat again. :sneaky: Health issues knocked me on my butt (literally) again earlier this month. 🤕 We lost a vacation as a result. But, I'm doing better now. 🤪 I started cleaning the boat this morning, then found that the glovebox appeared to be broken. But when I...
