    Goodbye Maumee River

    Well, I'm "officially done" with the Maumee River. 🚫 I do not enjoy the cost/losses vs. the amount of fish caught. (n) The guys I've been going with just equate the jigs lost to the way the river bottom is and eventually you'll catch some walleye. :rolleyes: I was there yesterday, lost 8 jigs...

    Trad Tech Riser....slightly altered

    I was at a 3D shoot yesterday, in Temperance, Michigan and picked up an ILF 17" Trad Tech riser, that was slightly altered for better ergonomics in the grip. I was able to install my DAS bamboo core longbow limbs on it and shoot it, before making the purchase. (y) These extra long 45# limbs were...

    The Maumee River was on Fire Today!

    My neighbor and I headed to the Maumee area, this morning and got started fishing around 7:25 a.m. The bites were slow starting, then it turned on quickly and next thing we know...nearly everyone was catching walleyes. Everyone except me. :ROFLMAO: Fishing that river is strange, to say the...

    Toledo 11 News Crew Interview

    I drove up from Lima to the Maumee Tackle Shop to inquire about the river conditions. Mario said to try fishing at Orleans Park area, but to stay on the shore and not wade out, as the current is vicious. As he pointed towards the donation jar for the gentleman we lost this past Monday, he said...

    Maumee River 3/29/24

    I fished the walleye run at the Maumee River, for the first time in over 25 years, today. The things that I noticed that have changed are the 6 Limit, which used to be 10. Also, 98% of the anglers there were very polite and patient when there were line tangles and quite often they helped net...

    Revolver Trigger Job

    I'd like to get a trigger job done on my Ruger GP-100. I want it to be around 2 to 3 lbs. (y) As it stands, it breaks clean, but it has to be around 6 or 7 lbs. o_O I swear my caulking gun has a lighter pull. :sneaky: Can anyone recommend a local gunsmith that does work on revolvers? :unsure:

    Wooden Tractor

    When I was a kid, my Dad made one of these "wooden tractors", from a wooden spool. :cool: He used a single blade razor to cut the notches along the edge of the spool. Then he carved a piece of wax with a hole in the middle and a groove across it. Then he hammered a small nail on the opposite...

    Custody Hearing

    Judge: Madam, why do you think you should have custody of this child? Woman: Well, I brought it into this world, so I should have custody. Judge: That's a simple enough answer and I see your point. Judge: Sir, why do you think you should have custody of this child? Man: If I put money into a...

    SA Hellcat Pro - Trigger Bounceback?

    I have a Springfield Armory Hellcat Pro, in 9mm. When firing it, the trigger seems to have some "bounceback". It's the same sensation as a cracked baseball bat, that buzzes your hands, this trigger buzzes your index finger. o_O I realize this isn't intended to be a range gun for target practice...

    Jigging with an Ice Fishing Rod?

    I fish out of a kayak and I'm thinking a short ice fishing rod would be easy to handle in it and jigging would be best suited for that type of rod. I've got a couple of rod/reel setups and I hate seeing them just sitting around and not getting used. Has anyone tried jigging in open water with...

    Coyote vs. Turkey Hunting

    I've shot my share of turkeys over the years and each season I keep running into problems with coyotes busting the turkeys. :rolleyes: This year, I'm going to contact as many of my hunting buddies as I can and let them know I'll be hunting coyotes instead of turkeys. If they see any coyotes...

    3 Legged Chicken

    A man is driving down the road at about 45 m.p.h., when a chicken runs up along side his car. :unsure: So, he steps on the gas and gets up to 60 m.p.h. and the chicken catches up to the car and continues to run along side it. :oops: As the chicken runs ahead of the car, he notices what he...

    Muskie, Northern Pike Lake Recommendations

    I'd like to find a few lakes to hit with a kayak for muskie and northern pike. I realize I'm going to have to travel some distance, being in Lima (N.W. Ohio). Actually, if the Buckeye State doesn't have any good offerings, I may end up going north into Michigan or maybe even northwest into...

    Purchased Another Kayak

    I went to the BPS in Rossford to spend the $25 gift card that I got for x-mass. Then stumbled upon an Ascend FS10 kayak, that was the same price as a Perception 10.5 Sound kayak, that I'd been eyeballing at Dunham's Sports. They are both $499, but the Ascend has so many more features for...

    What's your best Chuck Norris joke?

    I heard that super heroes read Chuck Norris comics. Cats wish they had Chuck Norris like reflexes. The boogie man looks under his bed for Chuck Norris. Chuck Norris's reflection won't even look him in the eyes. When Chuck Norris gets in the water, the sharks get out of the ocean. When Chuck...

    Dental Anesthesia

    This is hilarious! :ROFLMAO: The oldest kid in the back understands her Mom's condition and realizes it's a joke. However, the two younger kids are devastated that their Mom doesn't recognize them and wants to drop them off at the playground. ;):sneaky: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/5Jqyn3PxaPo

    Kalamazoo Traditional Bow Expo

    I've been to this event several times, missed it a couple of times due to weather and currently going to be there this time. (y) It's a 2 hour and 50 minute drive, but well worth it. The people you get to meet, bows on display that you can shoot and a consignment table full of bows for sale too...

    Headaches

    An older man goes to the doctor for headaches that he's had for years, but won't go away. The doctor puts him through several tests and tries several different medications, but to no avail. The doctor tells the older man, as a final resort, if you have a castration performed it will relieve your...
