    Looking out the front door this morning...

    No water since 3pm CST. Our water system/company is terrible. Our water goes out every time we have a hard freeze more than 1 day. Been going on for years. We stocked up on water Sunday, did all laundry Monday, got fuel for generator just incase it gets crazy. I just keep a 5 gal bucket of pool...

    Looking out the front door this morning...

    Right out of high school I was stationed in Korea 1990-1992 about 14km south of the DMZ and was introduced to real cold weather. My coonass self from the bayou was driving tracked vehicles and 2-1/2 trucks up and down iced over 1 lane mountain village roads! LOL. I did fine though, only killed 1...

    Looking out the front door this morning...

    I feel bad for you guys. It’s 18 degrees here in South La, but with no snow. Lots of ice. Entire South La is shut down. We don’t have equipment to deal with the roads etc. It will be 70 degrees on Thursday though. Also it will be 100 degrees with 97% humidity in Aug/Sept. That’s when we suffer...

    Help picking out a jon for backwater exploring

    Rare 18 degree morning here in South La. People freak the hell out here over a little snow and ice, so everything is closed. Thought I would update this thread for future searchers. The 1860cc is working out great. So far I've used it for deer hunting in skinny backwaters of Atchafalaya Basin...

    Shallow water anchor

    I have to say, the last 2 times we went redfishing in the marsh shallows, we just dropped an anchor and it worked out great. There was an anchor that came with my boat when I bought it. If you have the anchor already out on deck and ready, it's pretty quiet too. I'm not going to rush out and buy...

    I need a Saltwater Reds/Speck Spinning Reel/Rod Combo

    My Pursuit IV 3000 combo is on the way. I returned the 4000 to Academy, but they didn’t have any 3000 left in the country, allegedly. I think that model is being phased out. So I ordered one from Bass Pro. Hope it gets here before Sunday. We are going to the famous Hackberry area south of Lake...

    I need a Saltwater Reds/Speck Spinning Reel/Rod Combo

    Possibly a dumb question, but like I said, I'm new to the tackle side of this, but can the handle be reversed on it? Seems like you can reverse the handles on all spinning reels?

    I need a Saltwater Reds/Speck Spinning Reel/Rod Combo

    Yeah and it’s about $80, so I’m getting one. I actually bought one yesterday from Academy but realized after I got home it’s a 4000 size reel. A bit overkill for what I’m doing. Going to return it and get a 3000.

    I’m just after the corrosion protection.

    I need a Saltwater Reds/Speck Spinning Reel/Rod Combo

    I’m a newbie with saltwater fishing. I’ve done a decent amount of bass fishing over my 51 years, but very casually. Toledo Bend and the basin lakes. Only when invited every few years. I grew up 1 mile from Atchafalaya basin and about 8 miles from the Gulf. So I know a little bit, just never was...

    I need a Saltwater Reds/Speck Spinning Reel/Rod Combo

    I opened up and cleaned/lubed my old Calcutta, used it one time, opened it up again and there was salt inside😳 Our salinity is high too right now.

    Penn Pursuit IV any good? Price is right for me. I need 2.

    I need a Saltwater Reds/Speck Spinning Reel/Rod Combo

    Is that a salt reel you use for fresh?

    I need a Saltwater Reds/Speck Spinning Reel/Rod Combo

    I need to add a few spinning reels to my arsenal. Inshore red fish and speckled trout in shallow water mostly. I’m a cheap azz overall, but will spend for good stuff. Any suggestions?

    Shallow water anchor

    I’m going Power Pole Micro when I get ready to buy one. I fished with my buddy out of his Skeeter with a dual setup a bunch before I got my own boat. The fishing experience is really awesome when you can just park it at the push of a button. Once you experience it, hard to go without. I miss...

    Does anyone know what these are

    That blacksmith named Carmen Legge on The Curse of Oak Island would know what they are!!! Dude knows everything that is metal.

    Throttle tension screw???

    Yeah another video I watched had the screw on outside of cover. Same spot, just accessible. I actually thought about drilling a hole so I can adjust it without taking the cover off, but I'm hoping it stays wherever I end up setting it at.

    How to adjust free play in steering wheel?

    My new helm did not have a woodruff key either.
