AWESOME, Littoral !!! One of my favorite eating fish and the fish I target most in warm weather, as I love the fight they give. Hope you tell the story soon! Looking forward to hearing it...

Rodbow, you undoubtedly heard that story from Jumptrout. Think the doc actually told him he would need to visit her or another Dermatologist in the future and warned him he would need to get a full skin exam to ensure any other suspect spots weren't missed... needs vs. wants are two far different th...

Wife and I will be attending. Have fished with fellow board member Sharkman for five years but never had the opportunity to meet any of the other board members, so definitely looking forward to the social. :thumbup: As for food, how does a big pot of boiled peanuts sound? Tom and Chalk, sending e-ma...

Found a few low-res pics (of boats being sold on boattrader.com) that show the large rounded fore-deck of the chaos 16' boat I described in my last post. http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z83/bigbendgyrene/Chaos1.jpg http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z83/bigbendgyrene/Chaos3.jpg http://i194.photob...

Good Times, the evinrude in the photo is their "jet" model but they also have a prop model too... here's some brief scoop on the models: Evinrude MFE are the only outboards to provide sufficient horsepower capable of running on multiple fuels including aviation fuels (JP-4, JP-5, JP-8, Jet...

As luck would have it, my wife needed to attend a conference in Miami this past weekend and the host hotel was only a few blocks from the convention center :thumbup: :thumbup: I expected the boat show to be big but wasn't prepared for the scope of the event. The show not only took up the whole floor...

ab7bear - amazingly small world. My wife is from Hickory Tavern and one of my lifelong friends was raised in Gray Court and graduated from Clemson. Don't know what it is with the SC upstate/Tallahassee connection but my brother left Laurens to attend FSU and while there became good friends with a FS...

Thanks again, Mook... will definitely investigate! :thumbup: :thumbup: ab7bear - that avatar sure looks like a Clemson Tiger paw... are you also from SC or were you once enrolled at Clemson? I'm from a little town not too far from Clemson (Laurens, SC), though I was a Purple Paladin (Furman Universi...

Many thanks for the response, Mook, and thanks to everyone who's taken the poll. See from the poll results that the tubing looks to be the most popular water sport amongst the board members... for anyone who's taken the poll, definitely still interested in knowing whether most are doing the tubing o...

The warmer temps of late have got me looking forward to getting back out on the water and also thinking about water sports. I'm a Carolina transplant and did some waterskiing and "old school" tubing in my youth. Have never been on a wakeboard and have only seen a few posts showing folks en...

Littoral, For what it's worth, I'm one of those folks who is an avid reader but I don't get the chance to get on the water as much as I would like. Speaking for myself alone (but seeing several folks have shared similar responses), I much prefer taking the boat out in the months the water is above t...

Didn't know him but did see an article in the Democrat website that mentioned he had completed marathons. Was a bit surprised I didn't know him from the local running circles so looked him up through a results indexing site, marathonguide.com, and it showed that he had completed multiple Disney mara...

RHTFISH,

Hope that poor horse in the picture can't read/doesn't visit the board!

You shouldn't have picked on that poor horse like that... I don't need any forensics to know that the horse is not only genetically different but is clearly easier on the eyes.

Sure has helped me increase my productivity as relates to catching trash fish.

In all seriousness, kind of like making lemonade out of lemons I've actually grown to LOVE it for quickly filling up the live well with pins, grunts, and squirrelfish!

"awesome for sure but,....did you catch any fish? "

Heck, no - pretty rushed trip so not only did I not wet a line but didn't even find the time to throw a dollar in a slot machine!
