Had a walkingstick crawl up my shoulder/neck while driving away from a river. I kept the vehicle between the lines, but the guy in the car behind me was likely wonder why I was flailing away at myself.

Interesting forest fire mapping site… Well interesting if you're into cartography… or fires. http://activefiremaps.fs.fed.us/imagery.php?sensor=modis&extent=canada http://activefiremaps.fs.fed.us/?sensor=modis&extent=canada

Wind and walleye = match made in heaven. He is a funny man.

I'm all for sensitivity, but how much do you need in a baitcaster? In most cases the more sensitive a rod is the more fragile it will be. If I am mostly fishing fast, using cranks and spinerbaits I don't give much though to the sensitivity of the rod.

Did someone pm joey, incase she forgot?

Try them side by side with the reel. Different strokes for different folks.

Make sure it is a composite stick that costs at least $150 and has a 190 flex rating.

It's just starting for me. Too many bugs, boats and people in the summer.

Only one of those is defensible.

Welcome Steve. If you really want to step in here, tells us whether your boat is a tiller or a console.

Maybe it's a "M" for McCoys?

That grip is so last year. Everyone who is anyone is using split grips.

A buddy who has worked in the grocery business for over 20 years says that they call this back to school treats. He had no comment on the Christmas decorations.

Same as above, I saw halloween candy today at the grocery store. I thought thats was nuts.

x3 Always one in the bunch.

For all the consuming I, do I know almost nothing about retailing.

http://www.beloit.edu/mindset/2016/ The Mindset List for the Class of 2016 For this generation of entering college students, born in 1994, Kurt Cobain, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Richard Nixon and John Wayne Gacy have always been dead. They should keep their eyes open for Justin Bieber or Dakota Fanning at freshman orientation. They have always lived in cyberspace, addicted to a new generation of “electronic narcotics.” The Biblical sources of terms such as “Forbidden Fruit,” “The writing on the wall,” “Good Samaritan,” and “The Promised Land” are unknown to most of them. Michael Jackson’s family, not the Kennedys, constitutes “American Royalty.” If they miss The Daily Show, they can always get their news on YouTube. Their lives have been measured in the fundamental particles of life: bits, bytes, and bauds. Robert De Niro is thought of as Greg Focker's long-suffering father-in-law, not as Vito Corleone or Jimmy Conway. Bill Clinton is a senior statesman of whose presidency they have little knowledge. They have never seen an airplane “ticket.” On TV and in films, the ditzy dumb blonde female generally has been replaced by a couple of Dumb and Dumber males. The paradox "too big to fail" has been, for their generation, what "we had to destroy the village in order to save it" was for their grandparents'. For most of their lives, maintaining relations between the U.S. and the rest of the world has been a woman’s job in the State Department. They can’t picture people actually carrying luggage through airports rather than rolling it. There has always been football in Jacksonville but never in Los Angeles. Having grown up with MP3s and iPods, they never listen to music on the car radio and really have no use for radio at all. Since they've been born, the United States has measured progress by a 2 percent jump in unemployment and a 16 cent rise in the price of a first class postage stamp. Benjamin Braddock, having given up both a career in plastics and a relationship with Mrs. Robinson, could be their grandfather. Their folks have never gazed with pride on a new set of bound encyclopedias on the bookshelf. The Green Bay Packers have always celebrated with the Lambeau Leap. Exposed bra straps have always been a fashion statement, not a wardrobe malfunction to be corrected quietly by well-meaning friends. A significant percentage of them will enter college already displaying some hearing loss. The Real World has always stopped being polite and started getting real on MTV. Women have always piloted war planes and space shuttles. White House security has never felt it necessary to wear rubber gloves when gay groups have visited. They have lived in an era of instant stardom and self-proclaimed celebrities, famous for being famous. Having made the acquaintance of Furby at an early age, they have expected their toy friends to do ever more unpredictable things. Outdated icons with images of floppy discs for “save,” a telephone for “phone,” and a snail mail envelope for “mail” have oddly decorated their tablets and smart phone screens. Star Wars has always been just a film, not a defense strategy. They have had to incessantly remind their parents not to refer to their CDs and DVDs as “tapes.” There have always been blue M&Ms, but no tan ones.’ Along with online viewbooks, parents have always been able to check the crime stats for the colleges their kids have selected. Newt Gingrich has always been a key figure in politics, trying to change the way America thinks about everything. They have come to political consciousness during a time of increasing doubts about America’s future. Billy Graham is as familiar to them as Otto Graham was to their parents. Probably the most tribal generation in history, they despise being separated from contact with their similar-aged friends. Stephen Breyer has always been an Associate Justice on the U.S. Supreme Court. Martin Lawrence has always been banned from hosting Saturday Night Live. Slavery has always been unconstitutional in Mississippi, and Southern Baptists have always been apologizing for supporting it in the first place. The Metropolitan Opera House in New York has always translated operas on seatback screens. A bit of the late Gene Roddenberry, creator of Star Trek, has always existed in space. Good music programmers are rock stars to the women of this generation, just as guitar players were for their mothers. Gene therapy has always been an available treatment. They were too young to enjoy the 1994 World Series, but then no one else got to enjoy it either. The folks have always been able to grab an Aleve when the kids started giving them a migraine. While the iconic TV series for their older siblings was the sci-fi show Lost, for them it’s Breaking Bad, a gritty crime story motivated by desperate economic circumstances. Simba has always had trouble waiting to be King. Before they purchase an assigned textbook, they will investigate whether it is available for rent or purchase as an e-book. They grew up, somehow, without the benefits of Romper Room. There has always been a World Trade Organization. L.L. Bean hunting shoes have always been known as just plain Bean Boots. They have always been able to see Starz on Direct TV. Ice skating competitions have always been jumping matches. There has always been a Santa Clause. NBC has never shown A Wonderful Life more than twice during the holidays. Mr. Burns has replaced J.R.Ewing as the most shot-at man on American television. They have always enjoyed school and summer camp memories with a digital yearbook. Herr Schindler has always had a List; Mr. Spielberg has always had an Oscar. Selena's fans have always been in mourning. They know many established film stars by their voices on computer-animated blockbusters. History has always had its own channel. Thousands have always been gathering for “million-man” demonstrations in Washington, D.C. Television and film dramas have always risked being pulled because the story line was too close to the headlines from which they were ”ripped.” TheTwilight Zone involves vampires, not Rod Serling. Robert Osborne has always been introducing Hollywood history on TCM. Little Caesar has always been proclaiming “Pizza Pizza.” They have no recollection of when Arianna Huffington was a conservative. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome has always been officially recognized with clinical guidelines. They watch television everywhere but on a television. Pulp Fiction’s meal of a "Royale with Cheese" and an “Amos and Andy milkshake” has little or no resonance with them. Point-and-shoot cameras are soooooo last millennium. Despite being preferred urban gathering places, two-thirds of the independent bookstores in the United States have closed for good during their lifetimes. Astronauts have always spent well over a year in a single space flight. Lou Gehrig's record for most consecutive baseball games played has never stood in their lifetimes. Genomes of living things have always been sequenced. The Sistine Chapel ceiling has always been brighter and cleaner. And I'll add some Canadian ones of my own: Wayne Gretzky has never played in the Stanley Cup Finals. The Blue Jays have not played in the play-offs, let alone win 2 world series. Gary Bettman has always been ruining the NHL. California has always had 3 NHL teams. Florida has always had 2.

DaveMc has an actual tackle store. I bow to thee.

300lb grouper. Almost type-od groper.

A simple letter and a copy of the receipt from the other store might not change much but may make your buddy feel better.

Why do I click on these??? Man that looks good.

"Excuse me. Do you have any Grey Poupon?"

Lots of factors in water clarity. Water/ground chemistry Lake bed material/ composition Inflows wave/wind/currents water temp In general the clearer the lake is the less potential for food for fish.

Nice! I missed this the first time around.

Lake X. Although the need for a float plane ride would preclude many from accessing it.
