    Another Old Guy With An Old, But Important Nitro

    You guys take care of yourself so you can recover quickly and get back to fishing and enjoying the outdoors! I know I move a lot slower than I used to but I'm not in a big hurry anyway...

    Bass Elites In Town

    The big boys are in town this week fishing their first Elite tournament of the year on the Sabine river in Orange, Texas. The past 3 days they have been scouting the river trying to figure out how to catch a keeper bass. I've been down to the ramp the past couple days and the Sabine river is...

    Nitro Z21

    I'm the same way about them $50k-$70k boats and trucks.....I bought a new boat 2 years ago (under $30k) before I retired but kinda wish I would have bought a new aluminum instead of fiberglass. I fish the river mostly and if I go to Toledo Bend or Sam Rayburn, I still watch the wind regardless...

    What To You Fish For?

    Enjoy bass fishing the most but sometimes catch redfish while fishing for bass on the river. The only fish I keep these days is crappie and I haven't fished for them in a few years....maybe this year since I got lots of time(retired).

    Nitro Z21

    I just saw pictures of the NEW Nitro Z21 and it is really nice. The Bassmaster site had a few pics at their convention center with an unveiling of KVD's new Z21.

    Fishing The River

    That's what I like about the river, catching bass and reds in same area sometimes. I also like the fact the ramp is 5-10 mins from my house. My son in law lives in Bmt. and I've fished the Neches with him.

    Fishing The River

    Well, it's not much to brag about but my last 2 fishing trips on the Sabine River have produced 6 solid keepers. It is a challenge to catch a 14" bass on the river most days. What I'm excited about is both trips have produced a bass over 3 pounds. Normally in Texas you don't get excited about 3...

    Old Ranger .22 Rifle

    This gun was my grandfather's and my Mom gave it to me over 20 years ago. I've never taken it out to shoot, just always kept it in the gun cabinet. Probably pass it on to one of my grand kids one day.

    Old Ranger .22 Rifle

    Many years ago I inherited a Ranger .22 rifle and it has been in the gun cabinet. Recently I was doing some research and discovered this rifle was made by Marlin and sold at Sears stores from 1935-1937 under the name Ranger. It is a single shot bolt action gun and wondered if anyone was familiar...

    Nx882 Nitro With Mercury 150 Hp Xr6 Motor""someone Help""!!!

    Based on your description with a jack plate, and without seeing it, I believe you may be right about the motor needing to come up some. One thing you can check on engine height is adjust the trailer dolly until the boat is level. Then adjust the trim until the engine is level. You need to...

    1985 Ranger 17 Feet With 115 Johnson Motor""""need Advice Plzzzzz"""!!!!

    I've had a similar experience three times in my boating life and I'll try to describe what was found to be the issue. The first time this happened, it was my high speed jets on the carburetor. They had to be adjusted and it resolved the problem. But in some cases the carbs need a good cleaning...

    Prop Shaft

    Just thought I would mention something I do every season as part of my preventative maintenance on my outboard. Last week I removed the prop and inspected the prop shaft for fishing line, trot line, etc. I cleaned everything up and applied new grease to the prop shaft before installing the prop...

    New Truck

    I sure like the looks of the new trucks but they are really proud of them these days.....kinda got sticker shock. I'll probably keep driving my old 2003 model for a while longer....funny how you get pretty tight after you retire!

    Did Anyone Receive An Email From Transomtalk Today 02/18?

    I have spent a lot of time on The TFF and BBC over the years, I'll try to start spending some time here also. Heck, I just retired, other than fishing, what else am I gonna do? Oh....I forgot.....whatever she tells me I need to do.

    Cold Classic

    Those Elite Pros are having to dress for some really cold temps at lake Hartwell. This morning while practicing, it was 25 degrees with wind.....Friday is first day of competition and temp is forecast to be 11 degrees. But these guys will figure out how to catch those bass.

    Anybody ever been a Marshal at a tourney.

    I know this post is over a year old, but I was a Marshal at the Bassmaster Elite tournament on the Sabine River March 2013. Day one I rode with Rick Clunn in his Nitro Z8 and he fished like a machine all day. Day two I rode with Randy Howell in his Triton X21 and he drove it FAST. He also fished...
