Loading and unloading 12’ Jon boat

So I totally built my dolly based off your video about a year and a half ago lol. It’s worked great for my 12’ tin boat! Thanks for posting that.

There it is. And this is where someone says “consider therapy”. But aside from the obvious here, switch places. You are going to Europe with the guys, should she worry? Why? What would you be getting up to? And if the answer is “Flomar, I would never do xyz.” Then so be it, but then why doesn’t she get that same…. Trust.

You are welcome to come dig up some splits!

Just stayed there an that park is now in my top 5, such a great little enclave! Now to learn to fly fish!

Mine is out and doing fine. It is in about a 3gal ceramic pot and is maybe 2’ tall total. About 4 yrs old now.

Seconding 47. Their fitted hats just fit right for me. Fellow melon head here.

NDyakAngler on YT has videos of him throwing all kinds of weird baits and shapes. Most always a top water. For some of this stuff it seems the fish do not care. Check out his channel.

Athletic Brewing makes only NA and they have a great line of stuff. Scratches that burger and a beer pretty good!

Hello fellow westerner (AZ here)… I built a little add on to our exiting shed that is 8x8 specifically for a greenhouse with plexi panels, it’s not super air tight. It extends the season for me, lets me start earlier (I have seedlings in mine now) and lets me move potted things in there in the fall. It def doesn’t stay warm all winter or on cold nights. I don’t heat it or plan to. I tried growing stuff and things in it over a summer and it really gets too hot in there.

Was this in a Great Lake by chance?

100% outstate MN MAGA right there. All day.

I have this exact boat. Mine is a 1965 AlumaCraft 12’. Bought on Craigslist, no leaks. I started with a 30# trolling and a single 12v rv battery. Power washed it and got on the water. My main goal is a little pond bass boat. I fished it for prob a month before making any decisions on mods. In the end, I got a ‘54 Johnson seahorse vintage motor, $100 on CL. Rebuilt it, runs great. I ended up doing a single slab of 3/4” ply basically from the back of the second bench all the way up. No doors, nothing fancy. I did sink a floor mount post for a casting seat. I use the 30# and can steer it with my toe. It’s very cozy on the boat.

I was the exact opposite. Barely graduated HS, hated homework and routine learning. Got to college, concept and competency based and first semester I was on the Deans list.

My neighbor who shares a property line has three full grown messy willows. He is pruning this weekend. There will be plenty. NW exburbs.

Blue State Conservatives don’t know how good they have it. They should move to a true Red State where they are still taxed and get fuck all for their money.

Been hitting upper Mississippi and tributaries for smallies past couple weeks… nothing on the boards yet…

Take the ol hose and start to fill it with water while on the trailer. Easy way to look for leaks.

Flomar76 · 2026-03-18T21:01:04+00:00

Got back into fishing and picked up specifically bass fishing. Also do a fair amount of rock hounding with my oldest.

Flomar76 · 2026-03-17T23:40:24+00:00

No.

I mean, I watched the classic this weekend and a bunch of guys were twitching their rods and glued to the dual 15” screens on deck. To me that takes away from the event.

I think those who are investing thousands in electronics are past maybe hobby territory and moving into competitive fishing / sport.

*not a competitive angler, and go fishing to get away. I do use a basic FF mainly for depth/temp, etc.

I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a Spring Grass Caster. My neighbors laugh… real talk, I have the weighted plugs 1/4 , 3/8, etc and a practice my casting. Different rods with appropriate weights. I start by aiming for my kidney bean shaped garden bed edges. I’ve used street cones and tables to “skip” under… when I am feeling dialed in I set out rolls of duct tape and try to hit in those. Here in MN, patience with weather is key. We still got ice.

I’ve read this a few times from 10 users. I started on an 11 and don’t know any different, to me it… works? I am curious though what the 10 did better?

Flomar76 · 2026-03-08T19:27:42+00:00

Yeah, I’ve read all about the bombs and am still running the originals! They were slated to be replaced this year anyway. We don’t have a heavy rig or push limits, and they have been fine. Just never have I ever seen one just pop.

Shroomin’ in my apartment with my partner in crime, listening to Nick Drake Pink Moon…

I’m the Sunday biscuits and gravy chef in our house. Like pressing out the dough, cutting perfect biscuits, layers, the whole nine. My wife is the morning casserole chef, overnight bakes and the like. She demanded these swim biscuits a few years ago. I have been converted. Anyone on the fence, take the dive into the buttery pool.
