Update: The crappie is gone but the bass (aka green crappie) is still available. Let me know if you are interested. Thanks!

K also looks like the Cotton Cordell Crazy Shad.

I think J might be a Cotton Cordell Boy Howdy…not sure These have definitely been making me scratch my head. Thanks for the brain exercise.

Nice collection. Here's my best guess.

A – Rebel Spoonbill Minnow (I think)
B – Heddon Lucky 13
C – Bomber Original Bomber (Looks similar to Arbogast Mudbug)
D – Heddon...

Hello,

I have a couple of fish mounts (1 crappie, 1 bass - both real skin) that I am interested in selling. Both were professionally mounted.

The crappie is roughly 15.5" and is mounted to a...

After 4 long years, I was finally able to get my boat out and do some fishing. I took my future son-in-law (who hadn't ever really been crappie fishing before) down to Truman for the day on Saturday...

Update: I decided to put the boat in the water before doing anything further to the carbs to see if I could "blow out the cob webs". To my surprise, the motor started and ran like normal. I guess...

Thanks guys for the comments.



The motor does rev up with the tach.



When I winterized it back in the fall of 2011, I treated the fuel with a stabilizer and then ran fogger through it...

I tried the Sea Foam, but so far it hasn't seemed to help. I may try a can of engine tuner before looking into tearing down the carbs. I am not extremely mechanically inclined when it comes to...

I have a 1993 50 hp Evinrude that has been sitting in my garage for 4 years un-used. I decided that nonsense has lasted long enough so I decided to see if I could get it running today. I put the...

I have T-Mobile and have real spotty coverage around Bucksaw. I fished with my sister a couple of years ago who had Verizon service and she had pretty good coverage as I recall. (We only fished...

Nice fish!


Care to share how you prepare the corn?

Hmmm... So I guess I'm looking for an electrician of some sort. Thanks for the tip!

I see... It looks like it would work very well and not catch many jigs compared to wood. I guess I need to follow a construction crew around and pick up their scraps.

Nice looking beds. What are the orange limbs made of?

I have the exact same problem. I also live about 5 minutes away from Blue Springs Lake but I never fish it due to all of the ski boats and wave runners as well as the less than average crappie...

There is a place in the Kansas City area called U.S. Boatworks that deals in used parts. Maybe they would have something that would work for you that wouldn't break the bank. I personally have...

I'm 5 minutes from the Blue Springs ramp and despite the quick access, I don't usually buy a permit for the county lakes. Blue Springs is a small lake and if the weather is the least bit warm, the...

Hmmmm... never seen a "trout line" before on Truman... I've seen plenty of trotlines, ....but never a trout line. Do they put salmon eggs and corn on the hooks?

Sorry... I just had to give you...

I love this type of rod myself but I always wrap them with cloth tape for security and comfort. I'd take one of those over the traditional threaded reel seat anytime.

As far as the 10' rods with...

Amen!

Nope... Three ways..... 1. Drain the lake 2. Dynamite 3. Electroshocking

(That pole and line stuff is not an exact science.)

That is what we were doing and I just thought it should be easier. My Remington 1100 shotgun has a button on the bottom that releases the bolt and my Marlin 60 .22 can be released by pushing in (or...

So are you saying that you should hold the bolt back while reaching inside and pushing down the magazine spring, then gently releasing the bolt. and then removing your fingers before the action...

My daughter's boyfriend recently inherited a brand new Winchester 100 semi-auto .308. The receipt shows it was purchased in 1971. His grandfather passed away and left it to him. Apparently it had...

No problem... glad I could save you a few bucks. You can click the link below for the rates. The note about 1/2 price is near the bottom of the page.

In case you were not aware.....if you wait until August 1st, you can get your permits for half price.

I opted to not get my permits this year. I was fed up with all of the ski boat traffic on...

If you see that snake oil salesman, let me know. I ran out this past week and need to get more. I was using it heavily trying to protect myself from the end of the world. I will let you know...
