Bought a "new" jon boat
The ID# on my boat is a replacement number issued by my state so I'm not exactly sure what make or model it is . When i registered it at the revenue office, it came back as...
You guys made me feel better with your old boats, because mine is supposed to be a 1957 Ouachita. Thats what the revenue office says it is, but I'm not sure how they came up with that. The serial...
Thanks for all the suggestions! I think I will just paint her up!
I recently bought a 16 ft aluminum flatbottom boat that was pretty much what I've been looking for except that I would have preferred an all-weld and its riveted. Looks like a fun project to fix up...
I've kind of narrowed it down a little. Alumacraft makes a 1442, that can hold 4 people equaling 770lbs(or 192lbs a person, I only weigh about 160 and my wife less)and I like the weight of the boat,...
Thanks. Right now, if 4 people go, it would be myself, wife and 2 kids, but chances are good at least 1 of the 3 will get burned out, or if all 3 do, it would be just me. Trying to find a boat that...
Thanks.
With a 16 foot boat, would the the 36' wide then be okay?
Looking to get another boat/or rig me up another boat, primarily to be used on the Little Red River, occasionally on the white, and I'd like to be able to occasionally take it out on a lake and bass...
Oh, I forgot that when I started fly fishing, I used my boat less and less and eventually sold it for 2k, SO I'm ahead
Well, I started out 3 years ago. I bought a Cabelas 3fks 5w on sale for $29, and a used Pflueger Medalist from an antique tackle site for $30, and another exact same model medalist real for $35 for...
Where is the article on Medalist reels? I can't find it.
Thanks
I started out fly fishing about 2 years ago in Dec. I bought a Cabelas 3 forks 5 weight rod on sale for $29, and found a vintage Medalist DA reel for $35 on a tackle website in new condition. Thats...
He says fish can get some kind of worms in stagnant water that make them skinnier than they should be? Kind of sounds like an old wives tale, but I'm not sure.
I usaully throw my fish back, but was thinking that a good mess of bluegills would sure sound good! My father in law says that panfish aren't good to eat this time of year that come from ponds or...
On the Little Red, I see alot of Jon Boats that look a little different, more custumized. Not the typical green rig. They look to be fiberglass and are longer than 16 feet and usually have nice...
If so how to break it? Last year, I fished at least one evening during the week, and probably once or twice about every weekend. I deer hunt also, and all during deer season, while I was sitting on...
Last year was my 1st year fly fishing. I probably caught over 1000 fish from bream, small catfish, trout and bass up to 3 lbs. I've been doing mostly warmwater fishing and use a 5wt for everything...
I bought some 5wt Green Mountain line at Wal-Mart. After putting it on my fly reel, I thought there is no way that this is 5wt line, maybe a 8 or even 9wt! I took it off my reel and took it back to...
You have to click on features, then Ozark angler.
If you go to Ozark Angler on the side bar of this website, go to the bottom of the article and click to view past articles and then click on the article titled "The Cold Water Fisheries of the...
I live here in Ar. and that was how I was taught to fish, by just tying directly onto the fly line, 8-9 ft of just tippet material. I usually buy 4x 5lb tippet and use it for everything I fish for,...
The only rod I own is a Three Forks 8ft 5wt , not the size you asked about but for overall quality, I've fished it all of last year for everthing from perch, smallmouth and larger trout on the Little...
I would be interested in at least 1 reel. Possibly 4!
One to use, one to put up, one for my daughter and another for my son when they get bigger.
