Bass n Bait company out of spencerville Ohio sells 2oz jigs called rattle snakie at prices you can buy 3 of them for the same price anywhere else you buy 1 jig. I've been using them since the mid 90's and love them!! Most places are like 18-20 bucks for a decent jig pretty sure a 2oz sells for like 7 bucks. Built in rattles and they are glow in the dark. Just a suggestion but highly suggest looking into them.

Getting my homemade boat trailer registered was literally the easiest experience I've ever encountered at the dmv. Walked in and walked out with this piece of paper that had my Vin number for the trailer. Went back the next day with a certified weight slip and walked out with my license plate. Everything since then has been done online considering I don't even live in NY anymore. Only reason you would need receipts is if you bought new stuff for trailer. Other than that tell them stuff was found laying around in your garage. Kinda funny on my trailer registration the color of my trailer is labeled "grey/rust"😁

That is a good one. Congrats.i wish they would open up the season here in florida. Woods are absolutely overrun with them. Saw 4 different bear last week in stand all within 50 yards. They were cool to see first few times in stand but just a pia now.

Nice! I learned all my copper techniques from an old feller named Don Powers(dons marina) back in the early 90's. That guy could get you to any hole or depth you wanted on the east side with his eyes closed. Thanks for sharing

Nice I found my first one in my grandfathers tackle box unopened one day we were jigging on Cayuga lake probably '90 or '91. Was a slow morning gramps told me to put it on and was hooked up before the jig even hit bottom!! The company that makes them is out of Ohio called bassnbait company. They are old school I dont even believe you can order them online I had to print out an order form and mail it in last time I got some. Wish I could get ahold of some of the original mepps jigs, they flutter perfectly on the drop and ive only a few left after losing alot over the years. Anyways thanks for sharing!

Love jigging for them. Only way I've fished them for 25+ years. Ironically though the jig i love using the best is called a rattle snakie. Company in Texas makes them for bass fishing i guess. It has rattles inside the jig and 2 straps of glow in the dark on each side. 1.5 oz so you can use it calm or choppy days.

I didn't see any retrievers. All the birds we took were retrieved from yak we had hooked on side of the boat. Never rode in a boat with a surface drive motor on it before. Real good way to get someone hurt if you dont know how to operate them. They will scoot pretty good across hydrilla thats for sure

Went out last weekend for my first time ever duck hunting here in Central Florida. Did not disappoint, other than the other 150 boats for opening day. Guy who took me is a regular down here and said in all the years he's hunted only killed 3 drake shovelors. That was my first bird. Others were teal and ringers. Lost 4 birds to tge alligators before we could retrieve them, 1 duck never even hit the water straight into about a 10 footers mouth. Couldnt launch tge boats till 4 am we got there at 1 am and there were already 50 boats in front of us. Like a damn war zone out there i don't know how people don't end up wearing steel shot for jewelry with all the nut cases running around with guns.

Didn't know that. I've heard water levels are pretty low havent been uo there since July. Salmon creek was loaded all way to falls all of November last year. Alot more browns than landlocked but a buddy even caught few Lakers I guess halfway to falls. I sure do miss it, Florida is a absolute cess pool amd anyone that says otherwise is complete bull__itting you!!!

They do let fish up past the ladder. If no one is going to be running it they just bypass it. Not sure if they do anything in the fall or not but back in high school I worked there a few days through a school program. It was very cool. Any trout that go up the ladder get hung up in a waiting pool. Every day we went in there we would net the trout put em in a tub and sprinkle this powder they called "angel dust" on top of water. Within seconds tge fish was floating belly up. We would measure gurth length and weight and document male/female. Biggest fish in 3 days i was there was a 13lb 4 oz female bow. You don't see too many rainbows that big anymore! This was '93-'94. Salmon creek whenever there's enough water also gets loaded

You are spot on I found this on cornell universities website.

I may agree on you with certain aspects of what you said but to each there own if people want to hunt with it it's there call. I will disagree on the small hole idea its well documented that small shot even at extreme distances still Carrie's the kinetic energy down range so will absolutely penetrate more consistently. Stuff is a game changer no doubt either embrace it or stay old school but no one can deny the data.

Ok same as lake trout pretty much. They spawn every year but the thiamine deficiency kills the fry when they're real young. I guess they hatch out of the egg but never make it much past that.

Just a pygmy rattlesnake. Kinda all set on getting any closer I'll leave that cool stuff up for those that dig that ****. Not me

I live in ocala. Shot this bird in ocala national forest. If you can ever get a quota permit for it when you come down it would be worth it. They have 4-4 day turkey hunts and give out 220 permits for each hunt. So 220 people have access to like 300,000 acres. I walked 30 miles during this hunt and never saw another hunter. I probably am more scared of snakes than most people you know. Literally have nightmares before but I wear snake boots and try not to think about them. If its gonna happen itll happen I guess. Love outdoors too much to sit inside
