I will keep you posted Lew but we are shooting for a trip up North in early August I think. Art

just sprinkle a handful of mice out there and they will be back.lol Very nice shots Joey. Art

Once you are on the boat ask Lew about the contest him and Art have on catching a muskie.lol Art

I lost a big beautiful Blue catfish to a nice stoogie. I still smoke em while I fish....just the cost of enjoying the day. Art

That makes sense most of the time they are out in the evenings in the back bays. Lots of fun to watch them when they tie into a decent carp and get drug around for awhile. Art

I am suprised that more people do not use paddleboards up North. I guess it has to do with you do get wet but down here lots of people strap a milk crate on the nose and fish the shallows. I would join them but I have a 10ft pelican that works for me and launches from the back of the pickup easily with one person. Art

You have been redeemed.... nice lot of fish bud. Art

He might be thinking of a past member that was banned for being highly offensive named "The Maverick" his time was short. I can guarantee everyone here that you are not him. lol Art

Welcome back sounds like you got a lot done in your time away. I am looking forward to your unveiling of your art work. The others were a joy to see I am sure the plaques will be just as good. Art

As I tear down my reels to clean them I have been replacing the Bearings with new ones from Boca Bearings and have been very happy with the outcome. Art

My brother in Minnesota says to his kids "If summer falls on a weekend this year we will go to the lake both days". Art

It is kind of deceptive the flats boats have low gunnels but loaded with flotation. However they are maxed out with that load in the front. If they spread back out they draft very little on and off plane. Art

The way I see it you beat second place by 2 oz. Art

I prefer to stick with name brand tires. The quality control and the ability to hold a company accountable has a value in itself. It seems all of my vehicles have some kind of special tires ranging from load range E to runflat tires. While this in itself drives up the price of the tire they all have been pressed above and beyond there duty and have passed all of the trials I have thrown at here. Art

I'm thinking a mask bud lol Art

last boat I sold I spent 3 hours going over the boat with the new owners explaining all of the quirks that had showed up in the past. We went over the as is sold contract and answered any questions he had as to what AS IS means. We squared up on the price and I returned $100.00 to him towards any items that I did not know about. This follows two basic rules of selling something Get the terms in writing and the correct price is the one where both parties are happy. BTW the boat is still running like a champ and we fish together regularly. best of luck Art

Finally someone else who know how to truly fry fish.... The heck with the healthy, splurge and get yourself a meal made in heaven. Art

way cool nice lot of fish. Art

Given my druthers I choose saltwater every chance I get. I have fished in both waters and since a bass caught in Canada feels like a bass caught in Florida it makes the saltwater more appealing when you get the chance. Shark fishing is an excellent trip to take and the only thing better is one after dark. I have had many a good night fishing for sharks and when the reel is screaming and the line disappears into the water you don't know what you have till it is brought into the light. That is a fun time for sure. Art

If they go that far just pay the ticket lol. Art

I used to be a Nissan guy but I had a warrentee issue that they did not resolve and I feel the company is morally bankrupt. I do like the vehicles but without a company that will do the right thing I can't take the chance. Art

I actually get the sportsman license even though I C&R up North just to help pay to keep the fisheries funded. Art

For those Domestically raised goose breasts you raise from eggs you bought from an organic farmer to help support him and his 12 kids.??? Art

I would look at the forester if there is a dealer in the area. Great cars and lots of value for the dollar. Art

Well then lets make it a contest first person to fix your computer gets a can of goose breasts. Doug a man of your youthful age should know the barter system backwards and forwards by now. Art
