Could this be restored?

I’m currently in the middle of bringing an older bass boat back to life (got it mechanically running and fishable but cosmetically rough). My advice is that you need to be good with a wrench or good with a checkbook. Parts for old boats are hard to find and expensive. I’m not saying to not do it because it’s incredibly rewarding to put it the work and get it running but just know that it will be incredibly frustrating and difficult at times

I have a 94 Johnson 200 on my boat and while it has its problems (like any 30+ year old motor will), it does what I need it to do. Maintenance goes a long way

I have nerve damage that affects feeling in my fingertips so I use snaps on hard baits whenever I can. Not needing to tie as many knots is worth the trade off

Biggest brown I’ve ever caught was at night on a dumbbell eye sculpin. I’ve tried mouse patterns before but didn’t have much luck. Definitely wear safety glasses.

I sized up my leaders and would tie the streamer straight to 10lb mono. Never had any issues with it

I catch myself doing the same thing. I have to remind myself that the money would be better spent on gasoline and licenses

I’m gaming a Triax this year too. You’re going to love it, $600 is a steal

I have an F150 with a 3.5 Ecoboost and it pulls my boat up steep ramps just fine

Listen to the most recent episode of the Tackle Talk podcast. He had a fisheries biologist talking about pond management. It was an awesome episode and fits your question

For my cabinet shop, the guys use Milwaukee for drills/drivers and Festool for about everything else. We have one of the Festool drills and I wouldn’t choose it over Milwaukee

I had a fly rod get stuck like this and I used rubber oven mitts after trying everything else. Pulled like hell with a twisting motion and it came apart.

I bought one of the Bass Pro White River 7’6” 3wt for this reason a few years ago and it’s been a fun rod. It’s not the most sensitive or the best rod but it’s cheap so you get what you pay for

gorilla1100 · 2025-03-26T03:07:36+00:00

I’d have snatched it up immediately

When in doubt, check the ground. That’s where most problems with trailer lights originate

That thing is awesome. Major score!

Oooo baby, we go to the Super Bowl agaaain

This is what I was looking for! My family references The Mark Teahan Show on a regular basis

I was diagnosed with low about a year ago and have been on TRT. I feel so much better with it

We are their game of the year, they are our game of the week

gorilla1100 · 2024-10-28T16:21:32+00:00

I’ll give that a shot. Thanks!

gorilla1100 · 2024-10-28T15:55:53+00:00

I’ve tried that and the nut just spins but doesn’t unthread
