  1. The guides in WY talked a lot about floating the New Fork and the Green at night, with a cooler of beer and some hippy lettuce, and throwing mice. Sounds terrible.
  2. 0%. We were with a local guide who had the lease. I think it was these guys: https://www.tworiversfishing.com/ I highly recommend them if you are in the area and need to use the John.
  3. I signed up as well using your link Eddie.
  4. Two days stick out in my mind: -1995 or 96, down in Rockport. We put in at The Sand Dollar (Now Alice Faye's?) and went across to Paul's Mott to wade fish. We hopped off the boat with our bait buckets and scooted around to the back lakes to see tailing reds everywhere. Picked up quite a few good ones there before the fish scattered and we headed back out to the mouth of the cut. We posted up at the mouth just as the water started moving and caught a shit load of fish until we all rain out of bait. I think the biggest one I caught was 26" or so. I can't even remember what time of year it was, but we were free shrimping and I don't think I've ever been on a redfish bite that good since then. -August 2014, fly fishing on Faler Creek outside of Pinedale, WY. My boss grew up in Pinedale and had a high school buddy that got us on this small water out in the middle of nowhere. We had to hike across a bog for almost a mile to get to what looked like very small water to me at the time. It wasn't very wide, but it had deep cut banks that we threw streamers at all day. I was still new to fly fishing and didn't realize how kick ass of a spot it was - I caught 5 or 6 Rainbows over 20" with the biggest being 24"ish and missed god knows how many other fish. It was just one of those days, on almost every cast you'd see the flash of a fish screaming out from underneath the cut bank. If I'd have known more about how to present/strip the streamers I probably would have caught another 15 fish over 20". I've been fly fishing at least once every year since then and still have not come anywhere close to having another day that good. We are planning another trip up there next August/September and I'm hoping we can get back out on Faler Creek again.
  5. This is spot on. Not only is he going to potentially torch one of the very few things he can tout - the stock market - he's also boxing himself in to make sure all of the blame lands at his feet.
  6. For sure! I was planning on holding the exposed wires in my teeth while I jumped in to the water to set it up - with it plugged in, of course. The plan is to mount the box on a piling that is under a roof, run the extension cord that runs to the light down through the dock and out to where the light will sit. All of the cord that will be submerged is run through the water hose and is sealed off by marine/through hull sealant (and concrete on one end) as another layer of protection against fish hooks. Thanks! I thought about the potential for snags too, that's why I thought about the fish bowl instead of a cage. The spot where the light will sit isn't too far from where kids jump in the water and they can hit the bottom when the water is down, so I'd rather not have glass on the bottom if the light were to burst. It's probably overkill though. Thanks again for the idea, I never would have thought to go this route without your suggestion. Total cost of materials was less than $50, but I already had some stuff - extension cord, hose, box for the ballast, etc.
  7. I’ve been messing around with this for a few weeks and am finally ready to set it on the lake bottom at my dock. I might mount a glass fish bowl on top of it, but glue it down with gaps so it can fill with water and won’t cause the whole thing to bob around. I’m a little concerned the bulb will get damaged by a fisherman without some protection. I mounted the bulb in a PVC sleeve but didn’t cement it in the coupling like you typically would - it’s waterproof but will still allow me to cut the glue and wire in another bulb when this one goes out. Thanks for the idea Smails.
  8. Yea, seems like those would get ground down quickly with much use.
  9. Yikes. (At both the video and the Wulaw blast)
  10. Dumb question - do all of the towers on these boats collapse down? It looks like some of them do - I can see what looks like a pivot joint on that Wakesetter above.
  11. I invite all the decent players from my league that are not in a clan - not sure why someone would be grinding it out on this game and not be in a clan. Seems like I'll get some of those to bite eventually. I got a couple of crucial upgrades this week and have made quite a big jump up. I saved enough gold to start playing Tour 5 consistently and went on a hot streak winning 13 or 14 in a row. I won my first match on T6 this morning, but I'm going to have to work more on the ring adjustments to win consistently at this level...
  12. I feel like I need a shower after reading this shitty thread.
  13. The party of Personal Responsibility!!!!!1!!!1!!!one!!!! looking to place responsibility for their failure on someone else!? Nuh uh!
  14. He made it 1 hour and 12 minutes before complete contradicting himself on the new I-was-trying-to-Remain-Calm! spin he trotted out this morning.
  15. I know it's already been said, but Invasion of Migrants! guy, MS-13 raping errrbody! guy, Liberate Michigan! guy, Biden and Booker are going to invade your suburbs! guy, etc. etc. etc. - trying to spin this and say he was lying to the American people to keep them calm is some 1st rate, Prime Grade, Top Notch BS! It's a MF'ing travesty that a sizable chunk of the country (including parts of my own family) will smear this BS on a few slices of bread and happily eat it up. Depressing.
  16. The coughing at the end gets me every time.
  17. My sis lives in North Texas and runs around with a bunch of very white, very suburban "oily mamas." It seems that almost all of them are plowing head first into this BS. She's also an evangelical, so I am holding out hope that her preacher or some other elder in the church will be shocked by her turn and try to snap her out of it. I think that might be the only hope at this point.
