re: Midsize truck recommendations

Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining about the Frontier's steering. It's just much different going from the F150 I drive all day for work and then getting in the Frontier. I do almost 0 offroading, but most people that do prefer the hydraulic steering.

I have a 2022 Frontier. First Nissan I've ever owned. Have had 0 issues with it. Only thing that takes some getting used to is the steering is kinda "heavy". Put an AllDogsOffroad lift kit on it. It doesn't have the fanciest interior, but it's a solid little truck.

Make sure you properly identify what you're attacking, so you can best treat it. I would look into Cutrine Plus vs a regular copper sulfate. It's a chelated form of elemental copper, so is much milder on your water and fish.
I'm no expert at all, but I do have Scythe Ti on a Bergara 300aac bolt gun. I don't need anything more quiet than it is.

I'm quite a ways from retiring, but can tell you with 100% certainty this won't be my case.
They left you to come to me. Taking down 2 dead ones for my job as we speak. They are pretty damn efficient, especially with that new crane rig they have.

I had/have a spot like that in mine. Takes several rounds of propiconazole every year to keep it right.

That looks handy. Just added a tan one to my Midway order... thanks

Joint vetch. Not the whole plot, but a decent lil patch in each plot.

Both. The coppernose in the pond are really starting to get some size to em, and they've been fun on the ultralight tackle. Figured fly rod would be even more fun.

Instead of starting a new thread, hope I can jump in and get some recs on a good starter fly rod/reel setup for pond bass and bluegill.

southern water grass


I had Dr Strahan ID this for me on some athletic fields years ago. He pretty much said "good luck". I used glyphosate at a really high rate and it torched it.....but it came back the following year
There's different varieties of it. I fed the Aquamax 400 (starter) when I first stocked. It's very small and sinks. The MVP has 9 different particle sizes, and some float while some sink. I found it to be good for a variety of size fish.
The moultrie directional is what I use in my small pond. Throws the aquamax mvp very well. Just make sure to keep a good battery in it.

ETA: Highly recommend Aquamax feed

I went to that Sofirn H35R this past hunting season, and absolutely love it. Bought several more to give as gifts. Takes the same charger as my phone, and since the battery is removable I can pull it out and use it in my thermal (or vice versa).

For the price, it can't be beat.

First, make sure you've degreased the bone. This is what causes the yellowing. Then use the 40% peroxide. After the peroxide, letting it dry in direct sunlight really lets it whiten well.
I lean the majority of the time, so I like the slanted front on my Cruzr mini Seeker
