    Free Lures

    I have a variety of lures to give away to anyone involved in a charity or youth fishing program. I'm culling my arsenal - so much stuff, so little space. I'm happy to pay shipping to you. I've tried locally and have found no interest so anyone involved with/knowing of a needful project please...

    Combining two jon boats for length

    I suffer from the same disease. I blame mine on two things: First, I am the son of a man who was the product of the Great Depression. When you grow up poor you have to make do and you learn how to make or modify those things you can't afford. My career path was different but there werent...

    Fishing Charities

    From time to time people here take donations of fishing related stuff for charities or programs to get kids out fishing, etc. I am going through some stuff trying to downsize and would like to see the fishing gear go to some good cause. A couple of years ago I tried this and got no takers. I...

    Personal VTOL aircraft. No license required

    But on the list of all the ways to kill yourself, this is a pretty good one.

    Tackle Giveaway

    Thanks Rich. I guess I should look around for such a place locally.

    Tackle Giveaway

    Many years ago a member here put out a call for fishing equipment for a "get kids out fishing" project sponsored by his church. I am culling some of my fishing stuff and am interested in finding a similar kind of program to contribute to. I have mostly crank baits but by the time I gather it...

    Stuck in a rut

    Ditto. Been fishing exactly three times this year and boated - one - fish. Hopefully Rich will chime in. He seems to have figured it out.

    Help with carpeting an aluminum deck

    Yes. I just finished recarpeting my Tracker 1448 prior to selling it and was going to post the things I learned to my build thread - then learned about the Photobucket change in policy and gave up the update. In my case I figured a way to stop fraying but was forced into it in accidentally. I...

    Swamp Shark surface drive

    As the resident wet blanket, I'll just suggest that by the time that guy gets through there won't be anything left to go out and enjoy. Boat-1, Nature-0 Although they may look like watery wastelands, mangroves and wetlands are vital places for wildlife and preservation of shoreline...

    Photobucket is retarded

    I still have the photo's, I only loaded those on PB that I intended to post here. It would take a huge time investment on my part to repost them in some other way and I'm not going to do it.

    MY MISTAKE - LESSON LEARNED

    I have been messaging Jim re my account and have request all my posts be deleted. I have closed my wretched Photobucket account because I refuse to pay the ransom to keep their third party hosting service (what else do they have to offer anyway?) so all the photo's linked to my posts here are...

    Photobucket is retarded

    It's actually worse than terrible. I've been a member of timboats for eight years and only started using Photobucket in order to be able to post pics here. Over the years as the PB site has become more mercenary the user experience had drastically deteriorated until it is really just a vehicle...
