Dang! They so hungry they biting on the carport! Nice!
That's a nice mess of specs, I see Crisco inferno in your future...
Post up some pics of that skiff yer hiding.
Excellant report -best thing going is your fishing with your bother -(great thing - he is super fisherman)
your having good time - commradship
Good looking pictures - several females, couple maies..............
Is this the lake we talked about 3-4 yrs back that is almost totally private - get in by use of key ?
Note: Good looking Ranger Pickup truck - sure beats the old roscoe parts truck .....
Like the color red..............can find you easier
Agreed on the Ranger. Wish Ford would bring them back or at least run them under the Mazda label again. Would sure make the battle in my head a lot easier right now. I have seen talks of it but the ones they are selling overseas look more like the Sporttrack than the Ranger.Quote:

heavy down the road......................Well lookie here.................
Loved them trucks...............
Extremely versitile - could turn them on dime - get 8 cents back...............
4.0 litre ones - were not good - they had a lot of valve train problems.........vs the 3.0 litre ones

I had a courier looking mazda p/u. Ran it til it had about 125,000 and gave it to my brother to return a favor and he ran it another hundred. Great trucks. The rangers I never had but the 300 6cyl was in a bunch of trucks of guys I worked with, and they loved em. They bought new trucks with v8's and still kept the old one to work out of for a long time. Tough as a brick.
Been awhile since I saw that many fish at one time
Nice report and great pics.
Just a J-16 with large front deck and bench in back. Tiller merc and a lawn chair to face backwards if needed. With two one up front with cooler as a seat and the other in back on lawn chair opposite sides, pushing or pulling. Remote great white T-motor 12v. Just a fishing skiff, all I need.Quote:

You were hoping some day to get on again - hadn't been on it since you were in teens.
Very little pressure on this lake. Houses almost entire shore, but don't see anyone fishing.
Mike, I read recently that Ford was going to bring them back. Maybe it is the truck you are talking about. And nice catch guys!!Quote:
