    Back in the mid 90’s I had a 65’ Impala with a 327. Wasn’t a rag top or an SS model but I enjoyed it.

    Do you ice fish? - Video

    Nice. I would like to try ice fishing one day, but I’m a “Grumpy Old Man”. I would need one of the shacks on a sled, with pot belly stove, a well stocked bar, and a couple of cute snow bunnies to keep warm with!!

    Do you ice fish? - Video

    Should be ideal conditions up there now. Hey Steve, are you one of the crazy people I see ice fishing on the reservoir on Route 100 just south of King Kone & Muscoot Tavern on 35?

    Do we REALLY need a small spinning reel with huge factory drag ratings?

    After a bit of thought I don’t agree with some of the position he’s taking on this subject. Not to throw the baby out with the bath water as he does make some interesting points, however I think there is more to this than meets the eye, or at least his eye. He begins by using an example of how...

    Sea Lime Lures

    I think lure manufacturers have their designers focus on lures intended to catch fishermen rather than fish. After all, fish have no money to buy lures. 🙄

    I can’t find the 4 pack sandwich size Thomas English Muffins down in Florida either. I’m guessing the bakery that makes them down here hasn’t the tooling or dies.

    I’ve always wanted to learn to play a guitar. So when I retired some years ago I purchased a guitar thinking now I’ll have some time, and learn to play. It’s been sitting untouched in this corner for over 5 years now. At least if you buy a treadmill or some other useless exercise equipment...

    And that “comes at you so fast” was not by design. Originally the shark was scripted to be in the movie much more than the final product showed it. They had so many problems with the mechanical shark that Steven Spielberg changed production techniques so that you would primarily catch just a...

    Do we REALLY need a small spinning reel with huge factory drag ratings?

    I think he makes a good point for most inshore applications. One exception would be slow pitch jigging. Although spinning reels are not the norm for this, there are people who do use them. Here is where you may benefit from more substantial drag. The “purest” slow pitch jiggers use the rod...

    It may be one of the stupidest movies of all time but it was one of the most successful movies of all time. Additionally, there are many, many thousands of people today that will not swim in the ocean due to a fear that the movie instilled in them. Richard Dreyfuss is one of those people.

    “The codfish is the official state fish of Massachusetts (designated in 1974) and a primary historic symbol of the Commonwealth. Known as the "Sacred Cod," a wooden carving has hung in the Massachusetts House of Representatives since 1784 to represent the fishing industry's importance...

    The Perfect Storm……. Great book, great movie. Perhaps my favorite part………. “The fog's just lifting. Throw off your bow line; throw off your stern. You head out to South channel, past Rocky Neck, Ten Pound Island. Past Niles Pond where I skated as a kid. Blow your air-horn and throw a wave to...

    The Uncle Josh Bucktail Kit I have is much older than yours. Those are plastic jars of pork rind, and the buck tails are of a newer design from those used back in the day. The ones you posted resemble Spros. I still have containers of Uncle Josh Pork Rinds, but they are in glass containers...
