    Call this one " It was this big"

    Got my son out fishing the other day. Sun was just breaking from the clouds as we were getting off the water. Boat is an old aluminum 1970;s that I redid with help from tinboats.net! Still going strong.

    8lb line to small for bass?

    In cold water here in WI, I find prespawn bass happily take slow-falling soft plastics. Last year I used a big grub on a light jighead to 'helicopter' down to them. Just cast it on the fish in 4 ft of water and the lure would start a big spiral down. It was so fun watching them take that...

    Crappie Lures - HELP!!

    I do pretty well on black crappie up here in WI. Live bait usually works, but if you don't want to mess around with it, buy some cubby mini mites (1/32 lures). I use these, or tubes on 1/16th oz. The mini-mites, I tie two on the line about 2 ft apart - to cover two water depths _and the...

    Cautionary Words - Watch the weight of your mods...

    So I built my boat out years ago. I used some heavy materials - 3/4" plywood for all the decking. a 2x12 for a stringer(?), etc. I fish with some 300lb+ guys and wanted everyone to feel comfortable. In the final setup I had 2 batteries (biggest I could find). One in the rear to start the...

    Fresh pecans

    This post made me hungry for pecans. I grew up in Texas and LOVED when Dad would come home with a big bag of pecans. We would spend forever cracking them. By the end of the bag, we were basically experts at pulling whole pecans out.

    Why so many unfinished threads on builds?

    I got to a point where I felt finished enough - and have been fishing the heck out of my boat since then. I think it is one of those things where you will never consider yourself to be finished, but able to enjoy your hard work to date. If I ever truly finished my boat, I'd have to start...

    Found my Tinboats T shirt...

    Was going out with a friend and happened upon my Tinboats Tshirt - so I wore it in hopes of a picture with a big fish. We were lucky and I hooked my longest smallmouth to date - 18 3/4". (I caught heavier/fatter this year though.) The picture doesn't do him justice. And for you oldschool...

    Tinboats Fanatsy Football 2013

    I have the #1 and #2 quarterbacks on my team and am willing to trade the #2 for a top 8 WR. All my WR's must have just signed big contracts cause they can't seem to score the ball anymore.

    Tinboats Fanatsy Football 2013

    All this commotion in the lower bracket levels. Let me inform you of this tidbit - I had 3 players on my team go for 95.5 points, which would have beaten 5 full teams this week. This is what you are in for when you play Team Silvers :twisted: (insert evil laugh here)

    Classic Craigslist Lines

    I've sold a few cars on Craigslist and run them this way... the first person to my door with cash gets the car. I'm not holding it for anyone. They just seem to want a fallback plan should their other car deal not work out. This method works great and all cars are sold in 36hours. I will not...

    150 gills!

    Went out on Friday morning alone - the family went to state fair instead of fishing -their loss. On the water at 6am started for bass. I soon noticed the fishfinder wouldn't stay on for long. Ran through the diagnostic screen and saw it was getting low voltage - immediately I realized I had...

    See what my 11 year old made today.

    She is the artistic type. I'm more rational. When she was deciding what she would do, I sketched out basic copy and we discussed and sketched how far each color would go on the lure, whether we would cover the head/gills or not, etc.. Then we practiced on a few paper towels, getting some use...
