I purchased a Chamber Vac and will never go back to a food saver again. I bought an Avid Armor chamber vac. It runs around $369.00 and the bags are substantially cheaper than food saver bags!

Are those bullets in a plastic sabot?

Go to Stuart Florida and fish with Chew On This Charters. He specializes in Goliath Grouper. My buddy went and it was a blast!

The 2005 Fall one I posted is an interesting one. Small fish that year!

Here is 2005 Fall, 2009 Summer and Fall.

Here are two of the ones you can’t find Rick. 2010 Fall was the first on the new website. Anything older than that is not on there.

Congrats Mallory! Awesome trip for both of you!

Good luck today guys! Congrats on the buck Tommy!

I would think there are tons of factors. Length of winter, health of YOY alewife going into winter, strength of the bottom of the food chain going into winter, predation and who knows what else!

She does know we use guns to hunt? I'm shocked!

I ran years of temp data and compared it to the State of the Lake meetings trawl assessments and there were warm winters with great survival and warm winters with poor survival. There were also cold winters with good survival and cold winter with bad survival. What we all know is winters like 2014 and 2015 survival is horrible. Those winters, we had issues with frazzle ice in our intake. Schreksoff is the man and hopefully he chimes in.

Good Luck Tom and Mallory!

Brayden shot his second deer this evening. 75 yd shot, deer quartered to us as he shot. Here is the story: We have been seeing deer pour into a cut bean field every night and figured it would be a good way for Brayden to shoot his second deer. We got set up in a hedgerow on the South side of the field. Wind was NNE all afternoon so it was perfect. At 4:25, I see a nice buck step out of the hedgerow at 75 yds. Brayden slowly swings the .270 in the tripod onto the buck. He asks me if he can take him and I have him the thumbs up. As he clicks the safety off, the buck raises his head and bolts into the hedgerow! Ten minutes later, I see a tail flicker in the same hedgerow in the same area. Out steps a button buck and a doe. He slipped his hearing protection on and I told him to shoot the deer on the right. He didn’t hear me and pulled the trigger on the button buck.🤦🏻‍♂️ I watched the doe run off uninjured. Brayden pulled off his hearing protection and I asked him which deer he shot. He said the one on the left. After a call to the neighbor to get permission to go on his property, the track job was pretty short but into the thickest brush on the planet. We recovered his second deer in his second season of deer hunting! I will get some better photos tomorrow in the day light.

the BH209 is a great powder. Hard to find and a little pricey but worth every penny.

Carp, catfish, trout, salmon, bass, pike, walleye, panfish and sheepshead all are fun to catch. As long as they are biting, I don't care what I'm catching. I really enjoy taking my kid and his buddies to the canal for a day of carp fishing. Big strong fish on light tackle is a blast.

I have used a 20 gauge brush before. Let me look in my kit Chad. I may have an extra 50 cal brush I can send you. I found them a couple years ago and scooped up a couple of them.

If you are using clean burning powders, I just use the same solvents I use on my shotgun. I use Blackhorn 209. If you use any kind of solvents, make sure you store your gun muzzle down or with the breech plug out. I have had solvent residue run into the breech plug and cause misfires.
