    Holy Mackerel

    I kept my boat on the St Pete side of the Gandy Bridge when I lived in Tampa. Mainly fished the mangroves but did get into Mackerel a few times. Lot of fun. My wife smoked them and made fish spread from some. Man that was good with some gator bites. I do miss that.

    Is Alabama alone in this?

    When I was a kid, crow shooting was a great way to get reading for hunting season. My dad caught an owl in a trap set for Fox when I was around 5. It wasn't illegal then to shoot them and it was the only way to get it out of the trap. He had the owl stuffed and man was that some decoy. It...

    New Ram weight loss....

    Our trips out west are typically through Colorado Springs up highway 24 out to 11 Mile State park. We also have traveled to Gould for some trout fishing. Love Estes Park area and down around 4 Corners. We're not fast and happily get in the trucker lane. Milage sucks but motor runs healthy. Some...

    New Ram weight loss....

    Gotta say I've been driving a 2015 Toyota crew cab and still love it. Hauling my 32' travel trailer is a breeze. Hit the tow button select s4 on the transmission away you go. It never goes over 3000rpm using cruise control and very seldom do I have to do anything unless I'm going through the...

    Whatcha Listening To?

    These guys are new to me. I like'em. Sturgill Simpson is another good one too!

    Whatcha Listening To?

    Both John Prine and Jerry Jeff Walker are still big draws for sure.

    Whatcha Listening To?

    I'm looking for some new music to add to my set list in the Red Dirt genre. Standards are like Robert Earl Keen, Pat Green and Wade Bowen. Anybody else listen to this and have anything to suggest?

    Question about motor

    Personally I wouldn't go over the 25hp even if you have the required steering to qualify for a 40hp motor. Of course that's me. I had a a similar boat in an Alumacraft and it had a 25hp tiller motor. It got squirrely fast on a bad day!

    All federal waterfowl and wetlands research proposed to be eliminated from USGS

    To me this just sounds like another attempt at finding more money savings by DOGE and eliminating an additional 10,000 federal employees. Whether there is a legitimate reason for ending this research or not without more information published in coming to this conclusion, once it's gone, it's gone.

    Cartsen Mallard Sneak Boat

    I had a Mallard for a season. It's heavy and drafts a bit more than I thought it would. Not a boat for one guy to be dragging around.

    We lost 8 days of early Teal but daily limit stayed the day at 6 here in Illinois.

    Freelance Ontario

    I'm hearing and reading more problems with crossing not only into Canada but as well as coming back to the US. My son traveled to Canada for his job and has said even before Trump was elected it was getting harder with crossing into Canada. I was born in Canada to US citizens but have a Canadian...

    I Am Content With My Fleet, But I Wish I Had Bought....

    Through the past 25 years I've had Carsten boats of all shapes and sizes, Momarsh boats, not one but two Four Rivers Refuge boats, two Fiber dome boats, two Aqua Pods, kayaks, canoes. Yes, my name is Ed and I have an addiction! Did I mention I bought another Grumman 12' V bottom after this past...

    KS Gov Vetos Proposed Non-resident Waterfowler Restrictions

    I hunted SW Kansas a few years when I lived in Arkansas. I hunted turkey and quail. I got a few of both but ducks? No ducks where I was at. Not sure what changed since I left but the hatred for out-if-staters seems to remain. Now for the golden age for me was the late 60s thru the 70s here on...

    Sneak box boats

    I'm glad to hear that you still have it. All my boat plan files were lost in a flood in 2019.

    Sneak box boats

    This boat from Jim's page is interesting. I had a set of plans from Mechanix Illustrated that I must have sent to 2 dozen people called the Barny 2. If this isn't the boat it's as close as I've seen. That was sometime between 2005 and 2010. I don't know if anyone ever built one.

    Need feedback on 3D printers- hobby usage

    You have been given a lot of good information here. A lot of things to research. You might remember my son Kyle and his days of building CNC machine centers and the decoy weight molds he made. He's since moved on to Lazer printers and he's waiting for delivery now on a large format engraver. In...
