Question about selecting good fishing spots
TomInMN replied to East_TN_Patriot's topic in Hunting and Fishing
Look for transition areas, animals often like them. Moving to still or fast to slow water, big water depth changes, aquatic vegetation edges or holes, terrestrial vegetation into the water, even a really big rock (like half a car) in a pond where it doesn't really belong will sometimes hold fish. Partly a commercial, but some decent advice: https://deepersonar.com/us/en_us/blog/finding-hotspots A lot of guys up here have the Navionics app on their phones. That has the ability to share marked spots, so you might be able to see some places others are willing to give up. (Or do accidently.) Is guiding something people do down there? If you can swing it, hiring a guide for a half or full day can be a decent way to get a foothold in a new area. (Even if *every* area is a new area...) -
I think that's one place too far up the supply chain. What I mean is, a lot of the folks who buy those "tobacco pipes" and "essential oil extractors" go on to be arrested for possession of drug paraphernalia or whatever the equivalent distilling charge is. Because they're using them to smoke something that's not tobacco or extract something that's not essential oil. The seller had some degree of "Whaaa? I had no idea!" but the buyer gets arrested. Buying yourself a "fuel filter" and using it for something that's not filtering fuel is asking for something that's not a vacation. Especially after posting about it in a thread like this...

Coronavirus: The cure can’t be worse than the problem!

I thought that was the whole idea with memes... -
Keeps the rider on their toes! Mag in, no round chambered is safe and much faster than no mag in.

I was a little confused, because not loaded and no fingers on triggers...

So you're saying God will punish those who chose to avoid services in order to help mitigate the chances of exposing their fellow congregants to a potentially deadly disease? -
This intersection (visit the website to ask for a mailed catalog) put a smile on my face.

It's the lost footage of the Shootout at the OK Corral!

@aknifemaker thanks for that chart. I noticed that, between 14" and 18" more than one of the loads has speeds go up and down and then up again. That seems odd to me...
-
I don't know how likely it is, but if you did have to shoot with a semi auto from near or on/ in the horse, I imagine having hot brass get caught up against the horse somehow would make things exciting...

I'd be interested to know at what barrel length the returns in velocity start to diminish. There can't be very many 9x19 rounds designed for use in barrels longer than probably 5-6" or so...

Il Gov Declares Gun Shops Essential

And not just a Dem, but one in Illinois. I would definitely have lost money betting on this one... -
Just occurred to me: Not Octo Mom... Octo Ma!

I just saw this today. Super excited.

The Prepper $2,000 Coronavirus Challenge... how would you spend it?
TomInMN replied to jgradyc's topic in General Chat
Given the current environment, that's what? Two bottles of whiskey, a carton of Reds, a 24 pack of cottonelle, and 100 9mm fmjs? -
Ooh, boy. So what I'm hearing is we need to take up a collection to help the less fortunate... Nothing bigger than a Medium, right? Just think, soon you too can be strolling about town in undersized, clashing camo patterns!
-
Why wait? Some guy on here said follow though is important. (Im drawing a blank. I think he's new, never seen his name before. I think it's one of those internet names that doesn't make any sense...)

Jeez man, I'm sorry. But like I said, I'm pretty sure it wasn't actually for you... ETA: I think I heard once that .338 LM can be reloaded in a standard size press, while .50 BMG is too big. Which I think is what COUGHcough...Rob was getting at.
-
That's the thing that really got me, is the two patterns together. I'm not a fan of zebra, but different strokes for different folks. I do like tortoise though...
-
Oooh, that's awkward. I'm pretty sure he was talking about a different Rob...

TomInMN replied to jgradyc's topic in General Chat
I don't really understand the idea behind stashing away stuff to trade. I'm not saying it's wrong, I just don't understand it. I'll sick with stuff I want, and either not worry about trading or trade what I have. If I think it's worth having, someone else likely will too. If not, then at least it's something I wanted in the first place... -

I thought this was already settled. $2,000 worth of toilet paper! Duh! -
Interested in a trade? What do you want for it? Looks like maybe a third left, is that single ply?

Speaking of, I won't buy Smiths new, either. What are Ruger and Glock's stories? I've heard that Bill Ruger was pretty adamant that guns are only for hunting, but I don't really have any knowledge of that myself.

Can you guys believe these are almost 90% off?! Apparently, they're not really a hot seller... https://www.cdnnsports.com/too-cheap/champion-ear-muffs-and-shooting-glasses-exotic-set.html#.XnANl2lOmyU
