    Chuck Yeager

    I didn't know Yeager personally, but did know his crew chief (the one that helped him get in the cockpit with cracked ribs) - all those people were an inspiration.

    Cuban Bread

    You're welcome Rob. Agree on the bread, hard to give it up. I never thought I'd be able to have it again due to all the lard, but watching Steve's method it clicked with me that it would work and it did great. Too good not to share.

    Hurricane Sally

    My report from Abbeville, Alabama: Wind wasn't a problem (40 sustained for about 6 hours then it backed down each hour) but water was. Dumped about 15 inches on the immediate area. Could have been a real disaster if not for drawing the reservoir down (Walter F. George) to repair damage from...

    I am confused - not judging but confused none the less

    What you're saying is correct and heartbreaking to those of us that lived it. I had my mining claims smack in the middle of all this. 30 years ago we got the first inkling of "roadless" initiatives in the forest - then entire swaths were closed off - so fuel was building for years - then we...

    Improve Your Casting Distance

    Thanks for that, Gary - glad it will help. As an aside, I really get a kick from updating and using these older reels I have. They really perform well and you just can't kill one it seems. Catch a big one! (and post a pic)

    Final Passage of "Larry Pardey"

    Indeed he (they) did inspire a lot of us to reach beyond what we thought possible. I was one of those inspired.

    Fishing Fail: Big Bass Story

    Absolutely! As any long timer here knows she can pretty much handle it all. A quick 4 min. view of her handling a trawler (from our "Mischief" days) which came after our C-Dory days: https://youtu.be/en2yTYLdqQo

    Fishing Fail: Big Bass Story

    Connie was really dejected losing this fish, but it all worked out in the end. Luckily we had both encounters on the security camera (hers in early morning is B/W): https://youtu.be/vO50cwtkFUs

    When to fill up with gas?

    Use non-ethanol gasoline. No matter what the manual says. Over time, you will benefit greatly by not having water separation in your tanks, and a myriad of other problems well documented on other threads. As for the fuel itself: you will get more by fueling in the cool of the day (night or...

    The Hog Story

    A simple story from long ago, and far away. At that time I had intended to develop a recipe if the occasion of getting a wild hog happened, but as things went - never did get that far - and no, I never went back. Fishing is the life for me. https://youtu.be/hNt81cS--Pk

    Daytona Rig: Fish Any Depth Snag Free

    Yes - you can use it for a lot of things. I used it from the boat as you did to keep the bait just above grass and sea trout would nail it.

    Anything good coming out of Covid?

    Young people are finally learning to cook! They're also finding new things to eat - like canned goods . . . and that they like them. Haven't heard anything about the KETO diet since this started.

    Carolina To Texas In 1/10th Second - Fishing Rigs

    A blast from the past: adjustable slip rig (Texas, Carolina, and more). https://youtu.be/Qk3Sg4_Yaks Came from desperation in my short (extremely) guiding career of having to change plastics or bait or entire rigs for myself and customers in gatling gun quickness. There must be a better way...
