    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...

    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...

    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...

    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

    Or maybe it's me. I'm so sick of Photobucket. It takes forever for anything to load because of all the ads. I get that's how they make their $ and why I can use it as a free service but jeeze, how much money do they have to make? I only use the service to post images on this site and am...

    Greenhouse kits?

    Anybody out there bought a kit greenhouse? I'm looking into them and would like some feedback from anyone who's used one or knows about them. The Harbor Freight ones get some pretty mixed reviews - almost all the Youtube reviewers made modifications to make them stronger. I don't have much...

    Is Crochetier a Word?

    The older I get the more I realize I'm not cut out to be a 21st century person; I'm just not up to the task. What's the deal with so many people making videos of everything they do. I admit that Youtube is awesome and there's some pretty crazy (and time wasting) stuff on there but jeeze, how...

    Looking for PWC's for a jet build?

    It's the end of the boating season here in the Great White North and people are unloading PWC's like crazy. Today I found one running unit w/trailer for $400 and a pair of parts ones $200 for both. In the last two or three weeks there have been maybe half a dozen running PWC's w/trailers...

    Primer on jets

    I'm thinking about a jet boat but maybe for the wrong reason. I'm wondering if anyone here can recommend a source to research basic jet boat use (if that's the right way to say it) or just give me some advice. I believe a lot of jet boat users are running in rivers and are running them in...

    Propane Outboard

    I ran across this today by accident while pricing small outboards. I'm not very up to date on this kind of thing and propane outboards are new to me. I'm wondering what people think about them.

    Jacob Wetterling

    The remains of 11 year old Jacob Wetterling were identified over the weekend ending a 27 year vigil by his family and the central MN community where Jacob lived. Those not from the upper midwest may not be familiar with the case but it led to national mandatory registration of sex offenders...

    Military jet boat

    Here's a military jet boat for sale in my area. Powered by a 455 Olds! Bet it gets up and goes.

    Cajun Navy

    Anyone who's been following the flooding in Louisiana has probably seen pics of the jon boats being used in rescue efforts. There surely must be tinboats.net decals on some of the boats involved. Obviously the locals have more urgent concerns than posting about what's going on but hopefully...

    Oh Baby!

    . Two or three times a year these things come up for sale in my area. This one merits an Oh Baby! You can take it home with trailer for $3800. Wish I could...

    Reading a river

    Being from MN, the Land O' Lakes, almost all of my water time is on lakes. As a kid my parents owned a resort for a while and my brothers and I were practically amphibious we spent so much time on and in the water. Now I live within a mile of the junction of the Minnesota and Mississippi...

    How big?

    Don't know what's considered a big aluminum boat but this one's too big to turn upside down on sawhorses. Seems like a good price for a boat this big. Could a thing like this be turned into a salty? Not much need for that where i live though :mrgreen:

    Upped My Game

    I went to Fleet Farm today. As any right-thinking midwesterner knows, you never go to Fleet Farm without a visit to the sporting goods department. As expected, I picked up this and that but the thing worth showing was an item from a company I've never heard of before. It's called the Combat...

    Big LM Bass

    Last week my partner T caught what was her PR for a largemouth. It was 17" and having no scale, the length to weight chart put it at about 3#. It was a nice fish and the first of the season and as usual she out-fished me :mrgreen: . This got me to thinking about fish size relative to...

    Security camera

    Wondering if anyone knows about security cameras. I want to get something not too expensive to focus on my birdfeeders. It would need to operate on OS10+ and be wireless and obviously weatherproof. I think a fixed focal length would be ok and it wouldn't need pan or tilt. The distance from a...
