re: Mazda CX-5...Any of you have experience owning a Mazda?
Posted by The Last Coco on 2/21/26 at 4:42 pm to doublecutter
Wife drove an '08 mazda 6, manual, until we get her a new 2016 Mazda CX5 in Dec 2015.
She still drives that daily. ~95K miles. Replaced the brakes about 10k miles ago. Otherwise, just oil and tires. 0 complaints. Great car.

Nah thats a pretty standard approach/email for businesses because for those who have miscarried or struggle with fertility, Mothers Day can be potentially upsetting.

Compre Lite series from Shimano
Shimano consistently has great value at the $100 mark. Fuji K series Fazlite guides, fuji skeleton reel seat. As good or better components than most rods $150-200. And that cork is very nice.

Lastly you will need a fiberglass rod built for the weight of the bait. Around 7 ft for use 2.0 to 4.0 oz baits.
Glass rods can work fine for specific applications but they arent a necessity. I would wager the majority of guys throwing swimbaits are using graphite rods.
For glides, wakes, slides and other treble hook swimbaits, a rod with a more parabolic bend is needed. For single hook swimbaits and especially if running a weedless swimbait (magdraft freestyle), a faster rod is needed to drive hooksets.
Depending on what your current fishing styles include, you may already have a rod that would work for baits up to 2-3oz.
A heavy flipping stick is often a more parabolic bend and can handle the heavy weights of glides.
For throwing soft swimbaits (small line-thrus or 6" magdraft), a jig rod would work fine.

re: Is there any good way to freeze/save jambalaya?

Rice in general doesnt freeze and reheat well. I have tried many ways, unsuccessfully, the save jambalaya.
Now I make what I think we will eat in 3 or 4 days and chuck the rest.

Probably starting out with some combo of chatterbait, trap and magdraft. But any moving bait could be the ticket: squarebill, spinnerbait, jerkbait, underspin
And if I was there early, I would throw a topwater just to make sure they wont come eat it.

Please do not refer to it as a fishing pole in the presence of other fishermen. Use the term fishing rod. The only fishing pole is a cane pole.
I know plenty folks who could fill a boat with bass, redfish and trout who call them "fishing poles".
re: Buck Brush Seedlings

Cant help you sourcing them, but I think what you are referring to is Buttonbush, Cephalanthus occidentalis. I always called it buckbrush or button willow. Hopefully, using the technically correct name will make it easier to find.
We have one planted in our landscaping from a previous homeowner.

re: Educate Me On An Alabama Rig
Posted by The Last Coco on 12/30/25 at 1:32 pm to WillFerrellisking
If you want to just lob it around in open water, your rod choice isnt as important.
For better control over the rig, a rod with a max lure weight rating 2oz and up is ideal so you can actually cast it where you want.

re: EPA Wetlands Proposal

What seems like a million years ago now, I used to do a little wetlands work. Anyone who's ever dealt with a mitigation bank will tell you, there are two side to the "Wetlands" coin. Acreage and function. The proposal leaves high value/function wetlands in place and sacrifices the lower functioning isolated wetlands that are not directly connected to waters of the US. Politics is about striking a balance, and I think this tule likely accomplishes that. However, from a sportsman only point of view, there are lots of small isolated wetlands in the Midwest/parries that are vitally important to migrating waterfowl. I'd be worried if we lost too many of those.
^ This. Very well put.
Anytime these new WOTUS regs come out, there is a lot of press about it. All this particular proposal does is clarify existing jurisdiction.
The only aspect about the current language that I dont agree with is the continuous surface water aspect. Lots of land that provides vital habitat for wildlife, reduces flooding and helps clean our waters does not have surface water. If thats all fair game to develop, it will exacerbate problems on all fronts.
That being said, it is an impossible tightrope to walk and I am generally in favor of less regulation. After the next election cycle, itll likely swing back the other way.

Go catch some bass on the blue river
Easy to wade and got some nice fish and nice scenery
Man I really wonder if we have met or crossed paths. First junction and the south llano, and now the blue?
Its a gorgeous place. Favorite place in Oklahoma. Lots of good size spots and smallies. I have spent many many hours dragging my kayak up and down the falls near the Hwy 7 bridge. Caught spots up to 2.5lbs, and a giant 4.25lb smallie.
I imagine the trout are stocked by now too.
Back to the OP - OKC has a lot to offer. For a few food recs:
La Brasa is a great South American restaraunt for dinner. The ceviche trio is a winner.
Republic Gastropub has good upscale bar food and a huge draft beer selection.
Cafe Kacao is just up Classen from La Brasa and is an absolute must stop for breakfast/brunch.
re: Crazy thing about this season is as bad as we've looked, all games were winnable
Posted by The Last Coco on 11/25/25 at 1:55 pm to BatonrougeCajun
And we easily could have lost to UF, WKU, SCar, Ark, Clemson, etc...
Unfortunately, I think our record is an accurate reflection of the quality of team we have - pretty mediocre. If the ball bounces a different way in a few games, we are as likley to be 5-6 or worse as we are to be 9-2 or 10-1.

re: Mississippi NR License
Posted by The Last Coco on 11/11/25 at 1:04 pm to Tigerpaw123
The wildlife is owned by the people who agreed to have the wildlife and fisheries manage it and set license prices, structure, etc...
Generally speaking, each state has sovreignty to manage its wildlife except when migratory game is involved (then the feds get involved).
So each state's residents/voters who vote on the laws and structure of that state's government get to theoretically dictate who has what access to the populations wildlife.
So yes, the state line does dictate who has the ability to manage and hunt the wildlife within that given states border because those people get to vote on and decide who is representing them and their interests within the state governement.

Looking at chasing some ditch pickles this weekend. I have 0 prior experience at any of these lakes but want to expand my knowledge base.
Anyone have experience at these lakes and care to offer some insight?
I am finishing up a couple swimbait rod builds and would love to throw some glides and 8" magdrafts but will take what the lake is giving me if they wont chase big baits.
