Ya but does he fish? LOL congrats Eddie!

The local tackle store by me is great (The Rodmakers Shop, Strongsville, Ohio) They don`t have everything but enough to give you a good start at whatever you decide you want to fish for. A decent selection of all kinds of freshwater tackle. The crew there also fishes and they are good, help is provided if you need it. I like going to the big box store once in a while, but the local shop can handle my needs most of the time. Also a good spot to get info on area tournaments, and the owner puts some on late in the year.

Never was much of a fan of snow and ice, less so now that I don`t walk well, 47f here tomorrow. Love it ! Starting to look like I got to much firewood.

I used to catch them in the creeks off of lake erie here I called them silver shiners, don`t know the proper name. Longer and thicker bodied than an emerald shiner, LOL good bait!

Good morning and Merry Christmas!

Glad to hear she is recovering Glen! I have also seen 3 legged dogs that seemed to get around fine. Good Luck Miss Bubba!

Chris, I lost my grandfather in the 60`s,my dad in 91, my mom lost an eye to cancer 2 years ago, other family members and friends are gone from it. It does get a bit frustrating, it seem like they have been working on a cure forever. Millions? More like billions. There has been progress, it used to be a death sentence, some people beat it now.

LOL Fang! ME, I am the easiest guy in the world to shop for a BPS or Cabela`s gift certificate and I am good. LOL don`t even think about buying me fishing tackle! LOL My mother in law bought me a chair with a rod holder like the first or second year we were married, ???????? what`s this thing? a fishing chair! LOL I got them in the boat! what am I going to do with this? A 150 dollar watch one year, LOL it`s still in a drawer. LOL I know what I need dear you don`t, forget the gifts. Ya I also got a tie, Cleveland Browns, it`s in the trash! Go Steelers! Better yet who`s in first place! My Team! LOL

HAppy birthday Raf! Dang your catching up! LOL, I sleep too much to age!

OEM parts are expensive, even mechanics that don`t use them usually mark up the price of parts they buy, 25 to 50 percent. There may be a slight difference in quality though. Dealer`s labor rates are over the top, the labor involved(time) can cost more than the part. Some radiator shops also rebuilt gas tanks, reseal with some sort of coating after the hole are patched.

Happy Holidays and stay safe in your travels!

LOL, to feel normal again! Sick sucks! Still better me than my wife or kids!

Nice fish! great job guys!

Glad to hear your back kid! Smile!

Ya, it hit me in the early 80`s, just couldn`t see the need to keep them anymore. I have no particular interest in mounts or pictures, I get a lot more pleasure in seeing them swim away to fight another day. To each his own?

Nice! Now move farther north and you can use them more often! LOL

Ya what he said! Still the best site on the web! Dang I might have fixed my computer problem! LOL

When I was looking for a new ride I had it pretty much narrowed down to an Alumacraft or Crestliner, but I was looking for a single console boat. Both seemed to be well made and had a good selection of features, they all do now. Better to spend a little extra now than decide later you need more, get the biggest motor you can.

At the flea markets here those inserts for receivers are always for sale, kind of makes you wonder where they get them from, used. The inserts will rust in and become hard to remove, if you don`t want to bang legs into them take them out. I have a few of them, I have some set up with 1 7/8 balls some with 2 inch balls, also one set up with a quick change ball, remove a pin and the ball head come off and you can put a different size ball head on. Like anything these days lock it or take it off or it`s gone..
