RE: [VFB] Fishing
Jimmy your story about an Ambassador 5000 reminded me of one I found for my Dad. He had always wanted one, but with a wife and six kids it was way outside of the budget limits. I found a broken one at a garage sale a bought it for $5.00. I about ABU's lifetime warranty for their Ambassador reels, and I paid more for shipping and handling than I had for the reel. They were true to their word, and it came back just like new. I gave it to him for Father's Day and he was one surprised and happy man.

Yesterday, my son and grand daughter were walking to the edge of of or property to check on getting a part off an old Ford we have parked there when they saw a huge rattler gliding across the yard. They ran up and got me, and wouldn't ya know it but the firing pin on my shotgun is broken, so I get my 22 magnum pistol and go out there. I spot him, and you know how ppl are about telling you the size of snakes. It's like telling you the size of the fish that got away. But this was one of the Eastern Diamondbacks you see on the TV shows, as in over 5ft long, and bigger than my forearm. But the weird thing is, even after I shot (and missed 3 out of 5 times, cause it's hard to hit a snake with an old revolver at 15 yards, cause that was as close as I was getting LOL). Anyway, through all that, he NEVER ratted a single time. I shot and missed. I shot again and hit him. He stopped dead in his tracks and I thought I had heart shot him, cause I knew it was a body shot. I shot again, and hit him again. (reason I know is cause after he had gone, I saw the blood stains on the ground) He still didn't move. His tail was straight up, and he had 7 or 8 rattles, each at least 3/4 across, but like I said, they NEVER once rattled. I missed him three more times, and had one round mis fire before he FINALLY started crawling off VERY SLOWLY. My son in law had heard the shots and came down with his shotgun, and we went out into the woods and hunted the snake for 30 minutes or so, but never saw him again. Man, that really scared me knowing how close he was to my son and grand daughter. He was a BEAUTIFUL snake as he had JUST shed his skin and his colors and markings were really bright. But he'll be dead and beautiful if I see him again and hopefully get more shots at him LOL. Anyway, if you live anywhere that is snake country, this is a bad time of the year, so be on the lookout at all times.

After finally getting out I stared paddling my pontoon boat about 10 or 15 yards out, I looked down and both fly rods were gone. I looked back towards shore and saw one sticking straight up. Went back and got it but was really BUMMED. The one I lost was a Cortland Black Diamond 9ft. 5wt. And a Scientific Anglers reel. After getting my mind cleared I managed to get 4 small mouthed bass on a mosquito. Tried getting down with a sink tip and a wooly worm, but no luck.

Re: [VFB] Grappling Hook
Personally I would try rare earth magnets. They will probably only latch on to the guides since they are steel underneath (unless it has those Recoil guides), but their gripping power is amazing. If you have any old hard drives laying around inside lies one of the most powerful magnets you could ever hope for. It is the same concept as a mechanic's wand with the magnet on the tip to retrieve tools and parts that fell an engine bay or something like a 55 gallon drum of oil.

Re: [VFB] Bass Froggie
It is basically a strip of foam tied in just behind the hook eye and then
folded back and tied off at the tail. Tie in a couple of saddle feathers then
the foam. Fold one side of the foam back then the other side and tie off. This
forms the body. A couple of quilt pins for the eyes and you have it. You can
color it or use colored foam. Black is good for dark days.

Re: [VFB] Grappling Hook
Thanks Scott. I will try that also. I plan on going back Thurs to try my grappling hook.

They will probably only latch on to the guides since they are steel underneath (unless it has those Recoil guides), but their gripping power is amazing. If you have any old hard drives laying around inside lies one of the most powerful magnets you could ever hope for. It is the same concept as a mechanic's wand with the magnet on the tip to retrieve tools and parts that fell an engine bay or something like a 55 gallon drum of oil.
