    bowfishing missouri

    I've been out the last four days in a rown killing more than my little boat can even haul. Last night I filled it up so heavy that the bow was scooping water my whole two mile ride back to the dock. I've been shooting where the creeks dump into the snake river. The spawn is on right now in...

    Paint Hardener

    You are on the right track. I used brush on rustoleum and the hardener you are speaking of....hardens much quicker. Rustoleum is notorious for taking forever to harden...but eventually it does and works out well. You cannot add hardener to the petit easypoxy. The epoxy has its own...

    what to do for paint

    If you have slow micro leaks....steelflex is the way to go. If not rustoleum works ok if you add a hardener. You can get the hardener at most implement stores. If not using hardener it takes soooooooo much longer to harden. But once hardened it is fairly durable.....and incredibly cheap. As...

    Chetek Fishing Classic

    Great post...I wish my daughter would do that. She used to love it but the last few trips produced nothing but windburn and that has ruined it for her. Was she stoked about her first northern? I know I was....I compare it to my first elk.

    Marine plywood

    I personally would never spend the extra money on marine grade since even the marine grade should be waterproofed anyway. I use regular A/C plywood and then waterproof with thinned polyester resin (fiberglass resin), thinned with acetone.

    Center console mounting

    Yeah maybe a touch narrower and a bit shorter. The foam was a great idea. I've got tons of it...I think I'll start mocking up some ideas. Thanks for the idea!

    14' or 16'

    If you are wanting to take the family out I would personally go with the 16'. Besides if you get a 14' you will soon want that extra two foot....always happens. Rarely do you ever hear of anyone wanting a boat a little smaller....unless they go alone more often than not. As far as versatility...

    Photoshop or powerplant?

    I'm with ya docwatson....very unnatural pose. I've never had a bluegill do the open mouth flare like that while holding in that fashion. I also see what ya mean about the shellac look about it. Either way....that was one big baitfish!
