re: Crabs in Big Lake?

Posted by TFLEX on 5/30/24 at 10:53 am

Well, we chose to just stay around the camp on the West fork and swim, ski, and rope swing. Did not hear any good reports and I have no interest in getting chewed up by bugs trying to bank fish crabs shoulder to shoulder with mouth breathers on a holiday weekend. Hopefully it clears up some ...

Crabs in Big Lake?

Posted by TFLEX on 5/24/24 at 7:43 am

Anybody even tried lately with all the freshwater? My fishing boat is down with a motor rebuild. We are heading down for the weekend. Considered maybe taking the kids crabbing. We usually just go near the SW barrier but I would imagine it is way to fresh. ...

Posted by TFLEX on 5/24/24 at 7:35 am

I was excited about the freshman being up against that guy. Advantage being- They just got done playing HS ball, where they saw rag arms all the time. vs our older guys that have seen SEC pitching for 2-3-4 years....

I really like my 09 Yukon Denali - Great Do everything rig. But I am really getting the itch to try and trade it for a 90s Bronco or a K5 Blazer. I don't even bother looking at the new prices. But I can't get over 10 plus year old trucks at 20k plus. Crazy....

re: I like what I saw from Thatcher Hurd in game 3…

Posted by TFLEX on 5/20/24 at 9:36 am

He seems to have put it together here lately. And he is showing some fire and confidence we have never seen. I am a fan. Always awesome to see kids that have worked their butt off, faced some adversity, and stuck with a program having some success. Games jumbled together in my head but he has loo...

re: How many of Y’all have a Paul Skenes Rookie Card better get them now on EBay

Don't have their cards. But my son got a foul ball autographed by almost the entire team last year after a game. Have Skenes, Crews, Tanks, Cooper, Morgan, etc. Don't care what its worth because that is staying in a display cube! :geauxtigers:...

I drive the ultimate in BAW LUXURY. Lifted, Tuned, Built, DENALI (2009 Yukon with 205k and climbing) :lol: :lol: Everytime I think about upgrading, a quick fb market search reminds me I don't want a giant note on a newer vehicle- which would still be 5-10 years old at this point.

I know my favorite memories were every fall when the trout would be moving in Big Lake, Uncle Tony- Sherriff Mancuso would call my dad, and I would get picked up from football practice, and we would go throw Glow Cocahoe minnnows and just wear them out off of a dock, every cast all night. Then go c...
