congrats on getting a drifter.. thats just the start of the addiction

Nope, it comes under the transportation of live fish thing. You cannot take a fish from one body of water with intention of then placing it in another, for stocking or any other reason. Therefore, if you are retaining a fish, you should kill it quickly and not have it sat in a 5 gallon bucket...

Great job. There was once someone on this forum who stated that people who turn in poachers should get community award points... i agree

It might be a problem on the 'no gas' motor lakes, i don't think swim fins would work too well from the driver or passenger seat, and I see no mount for a trolling motor

This is a regular at the Molalla 4th July Parade. I love it and its in pristine condition. With one of these I could drive straight onto the lakes!!!!

This is how my tiny little brain has thought this one out. A is the length of line that drops the weight B is the length of leader from separation of lines to the hook. If you have a swivel separating the lines, then these are fixed lengths. If you have a slider, then length A can change...

Earthworms / Nightcrawlers -An hour before twilight (the time, not the movie) I wash my car, dump the 2 x 5 gallon buckets of warm soapy water, then I soak down my patch of 'gravel/dirt' driveway with a sprinkler, the massive ones will be on the surface within minutes. Red Wigglers - Find a...

Nice fish. I too recently caught the Bass addiction, but, you did it with more style, you used the fly rod!! Still havent worked out a way to throw a senko with my 7wt... or is that REALLY going to lose me friends and get shunned from polite society. Go catch more pickles!!! Glad you are...

thats a nice fish.. congrats

Thanks for the check of length, etc Colby. I did the paper trick, then transferred it to rod, etc; from the butt to the Red L in 'Lite' its 20.5", so 20ish" fish. Yeah that 3" probably makes a large difference in the weight factor as well. I don't have any prob's getting corrected for the...

Glad to hear that you are OK. By the sound of it you were in the 'classic' situation of the boat about to flip over on top of you!!! You were saved by your 'calm' action and the knife.

I am loving this Ugly Stik Lite. 7ft Med, its tip is sensitive enough to feel almost everything, but the sticks got enough backbone to really put the effort in to keep a large on from burying in the brush. The guy who was watching me land the 7lb+'er mentioned that he was impressed that the rod...

If you have seen my last couple of posts, then you will know that I have been trying to pull in a Bass or two for the kids to see, and i have been getting epic fails. So, tonight whilst the kids and mom are at Karate, I sneak out to one of the local ponds and start throwing my Senko. Got very...

Yeah, sometimes 'hitting your limit' is only one fish! There was no way that after letting the poor thing die, i was then going to let it go to waste. It may not be the best meat in the world, but, I have quite a few friends who will appreciate a steak or two. It just seemed the right thing to...
