60+ year old thread.

Morning all:
Looking all over for a small 4lb downrigger ball that I thought I might have left on my buddies boat when we shad fished, couldn't find it so I ordered 2 new ones. Well yesterday I found the TWO that I had, forgot that I had 2 of them! Oh well, now I can keep 2 of them on each of the Jon boats that both have downriggers on them. Funny thing was, they were in a plastic ammo type box sitting in plain sight right next to the battery box in the one boat, guess that's where the term "hiding in plain sight" came from!
Walleye opened last night, didn't go, windy as heck here and would have been extremely hard to control the boat trolling as close to shore as we do. Jim was going to go out with his BIL, I don't know if they went either but I'll check with him later today.

UPDATE: They got a 25" and a 27" walleye, and said they lost 4 that also felt pretty decent. Looks like I may need to put the raingear on and go out tonight, Jim has obligations with his GF so he can't go!

 

I hope you point before you shoot.
Just saying

 

I will keep that in mind.

 

Is he pointing at a target? You just said point, but not to what.

 

I’m just trying to get clarification. I wanna know if I should duck...

 

It is a competition using silhouette paper targets measuring speed and accuracy.

Typically 3 different targets are engaged at different distances with 2 shots fired at each target. We shoot middle, right, then left in that order. Each shot is scored with the X ring counted as 10 and progressively farther away scored at a lower value. The accumulative value of each group of 6 shots is divided the the elapsed time with the net value being the competitor's score for that stage. We shoot 5 stages with 1 throw away. Value of the remaining 4 stages is the final score.

You guys can relax, no humans or animals are harmed in this event.

 

Can I join ?
I only need one shot anyway...

 

Sorry, only firearms below .50 cal and no full auto allowed on our range. I have no doubt your bazooka would be effective though. Looks like fun to me.

 

Looks like most of us had a good day.Mocked up a driveline and some of the components for a small boat project been working on for a while.Always problems,but it's a project! Got done what l wanted too and even cleaned up a small part of the garage @Tacoma Mike (But a long ways to go)

 

Morning all:
Just got back from the lake, darn walleyes had lockjaw tonight! We will be out again tonight, can't do any worse!!!
Last year we couldn't do much at the lake, sure not going to spend a lot of time there if we can't get them in decent numbers anymore.

 

I've been hanging out with the Schuh Syndikat this week. Romping around in the mountains of NC, SC, TN. They let me tag along even though I don't have the right car -- mine's a Z4, they love their Z3's. We had dinner last night at Charlotte Motor Speedway, in the "Speedway Club" no less! Fantastic roads and views, great people, good times.

 

Been to the "club" some years back.Dam nice place!

 

Afternoon all:
Where's Cheech, haven't heard from him in awhile.

 

afternoon Carl

hope he's ok

 

Afternoon Sue!
Same here!

 

Maybe he's pulling a Jim.... just taking a break.

 

Good evening, all!! Great but busy weekend for me at the College. Final exams this week and then commencement on the 19th.

 

Morning all.

 

Back at work. UGH. The more I take time away, the less happy I am about coming back. At this rate I may not hang on until I'm 66.

 

I feel your pain....
