  1. A great, super expensive lure designed to catch fishermen.
  2. I'm not looking for easy. Just looking to be able to stay in the game.
  3. Most could benefit from pedaling but many no longer can due to age and wear and tear catching up with them. At 76, with back and hip issues I can pedal the length of the ditch but if I have to come back against a stong wind it kills me. I've found I sometimes won't pedal down too far if I know the wind will be against me coming back.
  4. The snow always disappears really fast there.
  5. We did stop feeding the birds after her first car got totaled. It was interesting to note that where the mouse nest was inside of the console there was a big pile of bird seed. The bird feeder was located on the other side of the house from where the cars are parked and is about 90 feet away. Those little varmits travel!
  6. Anyone else have problems with mice chewing up the wiring in your car? It seems the manufacturing trend to using a Soy based product to insulate the electronic wiring is a disaster for many car owners. A few years ago mice got into the console on my wife's Rav4. When a local mechanic was replacing the parking brake cable, he moved the center console and the chewed wires shorted out and set of the air bags. The poor guy got clobbered. The car got totaled. Now our 2021 Rav4 is at the dealership looking at a major tear down because of wiring damage. After the first disaster, in the new car we installed a battery powered ultrasonic mouse deterant in the engine compartment, and some of those mouse repelling scent bags here and there. I also have mouse traps set up near where we park our vehicles and I kill them on a regular basis. So frustrating. I did a little research looking for a manufacturer who doesn't use the new Soy based insulation but it seems that they all use it. What's the answer?
  7. Yep, it is still practiced by a hard core bunch. Although, it is somewhat harder to do when the crowd moves in on you. Jig up a bass and you'll have plenty of company in no time at all. It wouldn't be so bad but the last few years I've noticed a lot of guys have no idea on how to time their casts with yours.
  8. The Britanny Spaniel that I had years ago, used to bark, snarl and react to every small noise heard outside. When the local coyotes used to howl she would lay down and act like she couldn't hear them. She didn't want to know.
  9. I don't usually target them in the Canal but I've seemed to notice from others that do, that the bigger ones start showing up in greater numbers just as th season for them is closing.
  10. I've got boxes and boxes of plugs that will never see water. Not because they are valuable collectibles or because they have any sentimental value. They'll never see the water because I have so many damn lures that I'll never get around to using them all. There are multiples of my favorite lures in every damn color and size, and lures that I think are cool, but they'll never see the insides of my plug bag.
  11. Sure that lure would work, it'd work only once because the first big bluefish would demolish it.
  12. Some years back we had an eagle that would fly out of the Quabbin and hunt at Lake Mattawa in Orange. One of the local retirees would fish every day for the stocked trout. He'd always take a killed trout and blow into the trout's vent with a worm blower, so that it would float. He quickly trained that eagle. Every day that eagle would circle the lake then land in a tree behind the fisherman. Once the trout was thrown out in the water the eagle would swoop in, snatch it, then fly a circle around the lake gaining altitude then head straight back to the nest in the Quabbin. It was pretty spectacular and the local birders and photographers loved it. The retiree is now gone and so is that particular bird. Eagles still hunt Mattawa after the trout are stocked.
  13. Wow....I had to go to page 2 to find the Bruins thread. Last post on Oct 25th. I guess there's no interest in the B's here.
  14. Rodney's daughter posted on Facebook that Flagg's Fly & Tackle shop is closing up for good at the end of December. Sad to witness the end of an era.
