... or is the first time you open a bag of plastic worms the best smell ever?

I cut my first piece of plywood this afternoon and have a coat of water proofing on it. This is the replacement floor for my battery area. 3 years of a leaky cover was not kind to the existing flooring in the back of the boat. This is a picture of the battery area from the initial build. A...

Would that not scare the crap out of you or what???? https://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/155288-accident-on-buggs/

Anyone ever use these? Have never been happy with how I have my TM mounted to my front deck. These look like they would do the trick. Anyone have experience with them? https://www.garelick.com/Toggler-Brand-Stainless-Steel-Toggle-Bolt-Anchors

Hey all, Back in late 2010 I went for a long overdue physical and confirmed a bunch of stuff I had been ignoring. High blood pressure, high cholesterol, overweight, blah, blah blah... 46 and in poor health. 2011 started a four year transformation of myself. Parked the boat, put the rods in...

My worst nightmares have been realized. Last week we were on a short much needed vacation to the TN mountains and apparently brought back some very unwanted guests to the house. Wednesday morning my wife commented that the mosquitoes must be getting bad because she had several bites that were...

Gave my first try at Striper fishing this morning at Carters Lake in N. Georgia. Unfortunately the stripers didn't get the memo. What I did catch was a 9.2 Hybrid which I have to admit was a lot of fun to wrestle in. Especially on 10lb line.

Had an opportunity to fish Lake Guntersville this past Thursday and Friday with one of my brothers and had a blast. First off I apologize for not taking any pictures. Had my camera with me, but forgot to charge it before leaving the house and it was dead. My brother was fishing an FLW tournament...

For Christmas I bought my wife a Nook Color which she uses more for sitting on the couch and surfing the web and facebooking than reading books, as I expected she would. I've played with it a little and though I'd like to have one, but $249 has been a little out of my range. The other day I saw...

Okay guys, got an email earlier today that the FLW 2011 Fantasy Fishing website is open. Anyone interested in having a second annual TinBoats league? Please go to https://www.fantasyfishing.com to join. You'll have till 2/2/2011 to join and get your initial team selected. The league that...

Was off work yesterday so couldn't let 2010 close without getting one last fishing trip in. Launched the Crawdad into a friends private 20 acre lake at 8am yesterday morning. Water temp was 39 degrees and the wind was blowing enough to make worm/jig fishing difficult so started slow rolling a...

My brother just picked up one of these (an 09 model) from the bank and has offered it to me for what he paid. It's in mint condition and is 7k less than the price of a new one. I'm so temped to get it, but have no place to put it. Would be a nice step up from a 1442...

Very cool, we're having the first white Christmas in 128 years in the Atlanta area. The weather folks say we might get up to 3". There was a light dusting in 1993 but apparently that didn't count. Wish I was on the lake. I understand the fishing is great when it snows.

Just an FYI. Some nice hacker from China managed to access my Gmail account yesterday afternoon and sent out a spam email to everyone in my contacts list, which did include some TinBoat people. One nice thing about having a smartphone (Droid) is that I was aware of the security breach almost...

I don't think this got posted here yet... I've thought about tell my wife this... yeah, right. https://www.xtranormal.com/watch/7296231/ EDITED: Changed wifes to wife... no way I could deal with more than one :roll:

As many of you know I'm a 'dog' person and have a house full of greyhounds. For a week my oldest (12 years old) has been limping on her left front leg. She's had a corn on her foot that the vet has removed a couple times before so I figured that was what was causing the limp but it started...

As some of you know my wife and I are those 'crazy dog people'... actually more specifically we're 'crazy Greyhound people'. At last count we have 5 greyhounds. So over the weekend we were in Myrtle Beach at a greyhound event with a couple hundred other crazy greyhound people. Anyway, Saturday...

It's Friday evening and I'm sitting here re-spooling reels and making the selections for what I'll have tied on each rod for a Sunday morning trip to the lake. I prefer to only take 4 rods with me in the Crawdad (I'm afraid one might go swimming if I take more) so between now and 5 am Sunday...

Guys, I bumped across a nice tackle shop in Kennesaw Friday. The place is named Legend Outfitters and is located on hwy 41 between McCollum Airport and Kennesaw Due West Rd. There's a strip center with an Olde Town Grill as one of the main stores. The shop in far left corner. My eyes sort of...

I'm reading more and more about the advantages of the San Diego Jam knot over the Improved Clinch (my personal favorite). Any of you guys using it? It's basically a *reverse* Improved Clinch, if that makes sense. Below is a link to an animated example. In two years of using Flourocarbon I can...
