I use a small treble hook with one of the hooks cut off at the shank. Sharpen the heck out of the hooks they have to be lazer sharp. Cut a strip of belly white from a fish. leave 1 inch of meat on it and 3-5 inches of just the skin so it flutters. Put a little weight 12 inches in front of the hook so you can cast past the fish and reel it back across there noses. when they strike it is quick and you got to stick them with the hook. The mouth very hard and bony but can be stuck. The use of yarn and cotton rope can be used tied to a jighead without a hook. If you do use the rope be very careful to remove all of the bits from the fishes mouth or it will starve. Good luck

O.K. you send me the signed poem and I will name my first born after you.

P.S. I am 51 years old ( not sure what that is in Metric) lol

Look at the ones that use U.V. as the flash they are not seen by the eye and yield excellent night photos. Also inquire if it has any type of status lights the ones without are better since they do not show up in the woods.

looks like a really nice reel thanks for calling our attention to it and don't forget to tell us how it is when you get it.

Art

I am sorry to hear about your mom it is so tough when they are in pain. I will offer up a few prayers for her I am sure the Big Guy already is doing his best for her.

As for the poem......well........ummmmm......don't quit your day job. Lol

No issues the saltwater reels are normally built with more corrosion resistant parts and better seals. The down side is they are usually slightly more expensive. I am using a few of the okuma saltwater series in fresh for big Catfish with no issues in 5 years.

I would check out the cameras for deer hunters if that is the type you are referring too.

The thermostat should not block all of the water it should always let some come thru. This is how my other 2 outboards work so I am ASSUMING that to work the same way. Bernie is the man for the correct answer.

Art

Cool deal nice place to go I have heard.

Art

T.J. I would send a P.M. to Bernie and see if he has time to tear down the Carb. It needs a good cleaning and he can fix it quickly and test it for you as well. I would hate for you to get out on the lake at JJ and putter out. It isn't like there will be another boat coming along any time soon.

Art

Bulging can also occur if a battery discharges and freezes it is the reason I leave my boat plugged in in the winter.

Art

no I think the horse needs a rest. Thanks for every ones input on this.

Art

Good Opinion Mike. Be safe on the water it is still really cold.

Art

Life's full of suprises so make sure you have a minnow net handy if you let your young kids use your livewell to go #1.

O.K. now that's funny and so true.

Spiel has my vote he has built 5 rods for me over the years and the fit and finish are excellent. With the time and the components that Spiel uses make the rods more of an investment dollar for quality they are a real bargain.

Funny thing about the toads I have an area under my deck that this great big toad lives. He decided it was a nice place and he eats bugs so I decided to help him out with the food thing. I put out a night light next to his hole and he would sit under it and feed. I then found 2 more toads in the area that were in the garage and feeding from the same light. It got to the point that they would line up in the garage in a 8ft area and feed together because I started to catch crickets and slid them over to them. The big boy thru summer was up to 4 crickets a night I guess I had to much time on my hands. lol

Art

Wow that's fast I wish I had a few boats for sale now. lol

Art

I will watch the P.M.'s Gerritt and answer as needed.

Art

I hide them to give you time to think it through Gerritt. I have restored them it is true that the truth hurts I am trying to save a friend from himself and he has bitten me.....

Art

I have heard of Tex-Mex but never Tex-Can. lol Looks a lot better than what I had for dinner. Enjoy.

Sorry but it is trash. To read 12.2 means it has a dead cell. If you take it and put a load on it it will drop voltage like a rock. I am sure a local battery seller can load test it if you want to chance them selling you a new one.

Art

If it is sealed it is fine to have inside of the vehicle even if it is in arms reach. If the seal is broken then no matter where it is in the vehicle it is ticketed as open container and you will be given a sobriety test. Fail the sobriety test and you have Driving while intoxicated. That is go to jail and car/boat is impounded.

Share you productive lure with the first kid you see, it will start him on a good road for the rest of his life.
