    Fishing Time

    When going after King salmon or steelhead you absolutely must use a saltwater rig... And a boat that starts easily so you can chase it for a while. I've never seen a freshwater rig that can handle a 40# king salmon. A 15# mark? Sure but not a king.

    Fishing Time

    Just finished Google this vintage reel... Not much different than a mitchell by appearances... What's the ratio on it? Silent stop reverse? My mitchell 300's have at least a 4:1 ratio and a silent stop reverse when reeling in the line. Zebco isn't a bad name in tackle...but I just threw away...

    The mitchell's are great for kids just learning how to fish with an open face reel. Deep spools Few places to tangle the line. Large pieces to see and understand what things are and why they are that way. And easy enough to get the line in. I've never liked push buttons or trigger reels...

    God was smiling upon me... I found a place in indiana that had parts. The reels would have cost $85-100 each...but I was able to get the two handles for $30 including shipping. So In the meantime I'm off to Wally world to get some fishing line and new poles. All that I have is over 20 years...

    Fishing Time

    And I got one spring wound fly fishing reel that needs new line and leader. But it seems to work. I also found my bait casting reel...the flat line in it is mostly clear of tangles. It was in my tackle box. Along with several spare spools for my two 300's mitchell reels that I can't use anymore.

    Ok... So I am a guy with many talents and interests... But it's not like I'm abnormal either. But I just don't go do a lot of stuff that I usually don't have time for either. I remember as a young man I would have the hardest time getting up in the morning... unless Grandpa whispered into my...

    The Sermon on the Mount

    Just because it's on the topic... Blessed are they who are holy of heart for they shall see God. Sounds kinda odd eh? And most of us would read this and skip right on to the next. Now let's start with the heart. Metaphorically speaking this is where your logic/reasoning and your emotions...

    The Sermon on the Mount

    Salt... It's a reference to the Covenant of salt. Unfamiliar with this? Don't feel bad about it because most who preach on this don't really have a good foundation in the Old Testament that clearly explains this. (Nor much capability in a kitchen) When meat or grain is placed on an altar it's...

    BLM Are The New Nazis

    BLM supports Critical Race Theory... This is exactly how they want things to work... Regardless of merit or talent or reason they want whites to be oppressed and Blacks promoted. There is no forgiveness for being white. No white person could ever atone for their genetic racism...ever. Just...

    BLM Are The New Nazis

    If only the parallels didn't exist...I wish I was making this up or just going off the deep end with rhetoric.

    Crushing Boredom!

    Today was so much better. We met family friends today at the park and had a cookout. I've sorely missed them and their two boys. The boys were asking about Thanksgiving and Christmas...I wanted to cry but I was so thrilled about being at the lake (the park was empty) and seeing our...

    I believe many are in denial of Christ's 2nd coming

    I ain't clicking on the YouTube video... Sorry. But I am as ready as I will ever be for God to return. I have no need to "clean up" my life and lifestyle. But I trust God to come at a perfect time too...not necessarily perfect for me but perfect for Him...and that's perfectly fine because He...

    Ruth B Ginsburg Has Passed

    One thing to remember is that some of the Republicans have appointed staunchly conservative judges only to have them turn liberal the second they got appointed to the SCOTUS... Same thing with Democrats... they've appointed judges that went all conservative when getting to the highest bench...

    So when Paul talked about the Metalworker who did him harm or the Brute Beast men are people saying that Paul was sinning?

    The absolute worst king in all of Israel Manasseh repented and God forgave him. But RBG didn't do that... Neither did Stephen Hawking.

    Judas was referred to as the Son of Perdition... He also died badly and went to hell for his crimes. The story is told to us for a REASON...not just a recounting of historical facts.

    @Giuliano The Matthew passage is about the war between the Samaritans and the Jews...it wasn't about Jews and Samaritans against the Romans. It was about theological battles and harboring no ill will towards those who were of a different theological group. And I'm not finger pointing or being...

    I do love ALL Christians... I'd do anything for them including the shirt off my back. But when you attack and hate my Christan family...I'm going to say something about it. I'm not here to be a doormat. Huge difference between enduring hardships and suffering and inviting abuse and condoning abuse.

    I got no vengeance...that's God's job. What's amazing to me is how you don't recognize a clear and stated enemy when they are in front of you.
