Looks like they are lighter soon after molting. I guess you would have to see how they are joined together to ID sex. Sorry for the bad info

It's a complex world. At least he still likes fishing. God forbid he learns about bobbers and whitefish

Having one less boat flying by and mudding up the shoreline with a big wake sure wouldn't hurt my feelings

I have had good luck with Marine GOOP for attaching new felts. You can also drive in a couple off screws

Blue ones are the males

Flying up/down a small sidestream on plane, with the chance of running into an oncoming boat/tuber/pontoon/wader in close quarters is acceptable???? I am afraid we will have to disagree on that one. The chance for something to go really wrong is too great. Just because we CAN do some things doesn't mean we SHOULD

Jet boats in side streams better be ducking from incoming rocks

Good points. Sorry for loss. Hopefully another buddy will join you soon

Some are not so ugly

2 anchors for bobber fishing is often a very good idea. Especially early season with cold water

Where did you buy your Parks licence Doug?

I sure hope the waterfowl can read....I wonder if they could be vectors?

Oh great BA, like I need those other obnoxious guys I fish with trying to get into my bucket. News from the sandy south sounded pretty awesome

It is true Don, I don't have the ears for a Hardy. It works well enough though. All my reels are essentially silent and that is what I am used to. Obviously I just don't know what I am missing. I think I will give it away to some person who is just learning this fun, new game
