    Lesser Known History

    Thanks for the recommendation. Excellent read. Have you ever read “Tales of Fishes,” by Zane Grey? He claimed he wrote just so he could afford to chase huge Marlin. He kept a boat & Captain down in Mexico on his payroll, ready to go.

    Lesser Known History

    Just ordered, “A Land Remembered,” By Patrick Smith. Be here Monday, thanks! I also like reading about early hunters and trappers in the US, and even abroad. Have you ever read anything by Jim Corbett? He wrote Man-Eaters of Kumaon in 1944, about trekking to remote villages in early India to...

    Lesser Known History

    I love the history of those early settlers. I’ll search for that book. My local history revolves around a small stream that goes by the Indian name, Sipsi. I started float fishing with my Dad and relatives in the late 50s on 10-12 hour trips through the swamps. We caught Spotted bass and what...

    My 3D micro arrow penetrate target harder, why?

    Been a few decades since I read the article, I checked just to be sure; I was close.— Some possibilities for what this made-up word could be referring to: It could be meant to sound like "lubricity", which means slipperiness or smoothness. So "lubrocity" could be intended to suggest those...

    My 3D micro arrow penetrate target harder, why?

    I read a detailed study years back that used the term “Lubrosity.” Don’t know if it’s a real word or not, but the point of these experiments said that the hole cut by your broadhead is the main factor in animal penetration (barring all the other many factors). The shaft friction was negligible...

    Found a rock

    I stand corrected. I remember seeing him on Johnny Carson, and saw a picture of him presenting a President with one of his gifts.

    Found a rock

    There was a grey-haired fellow named Frank Hill from S. Carolina that got rich selling jewelry made from plastic encased quail poop. He was a good salesman.

    The "Try Something New" Thread

    It was “Redneck “ fly fishing in my youth, but I think “Fixed Line” fly fishing dates at least to the 1400’s, before the invention of eyelets and reel.

    The "Try Something New" Thread

    I’ve been kicking around the idea of introducing the grandkids to fly fishing, but with a simple twist. I started out fishing popping bugs years ago without a fly rod. I learned of old timers that tied a fixed length of floating fly line with a leader on cane poles. A little trial and error...

    Idea for Flooded Timber Boat

    Nutter, here is a link to a fellow that fooled around with a shallow water setup and wound up patenting his idea last year. There are several conversations about this idea of supplying external water to the impeller by various means. Or- you could look for a cheap air-cooled outboard (I’ve...
