And this is just about what I said during the Republican primaries. It was looking more and more like both parties were going to run the only candidate the other side could beat. All the Democrats insisted Joe was just fine. He was mentally sharp and physically fit. They were still saying this two days ago. The trumpeteers, likewise, still insist Donald is morally upstanding and is, essentially, the reincarnation of Honest Abe. He should be described as "Beloved", which he certainly is by his most ardent followers. What they don't understand is that to the majority of Americans, he is not beloved; he is barely tolerable. They cannot see this. What a debate like this should show the American people is that they are well off the path, and they truly need to push the reset button. Regards, Bill. | |||

I use both Bluegill and small carp, up to about 12". If fishing suspended, carp are great. If having to cast, they are kinda big to cast. I use Mustad, 10/0 circle hooks. Shimano, 8000D Bait runner reels and Ugly Stick "Tiger" rods. The rods are cheap and I break them frequently fishing in the kayak. They get stuck in brush when navigating fast water at times. 100# Power pro green with a 30# Stren clear mono leader. 100# isn't necessary but its the same reels I take to South America, so I just use them here for Cats.

Long shot because of the short timeline, but the only hope is for Obama to let his name stand. He served two terms. Not an option - although they might try to make a case for this being an "emergency" as though they didn't see it coming, and maybe that explains why they left Biden in so long? Some folk are suggesting Michelle Obama will replace Biden. Lots of folk seem to think the Obamas ARE currently running the show. If people who aren't happy with the way things are going think it's because the Obamas are running the show, the strategy will fail. | |||

I use LY’s. Two of us caught 45 fish, released a bunch of keepers (only allowed 3 per person) right in front of two guide boats that anchored on top of us. They caught none. They even ran up above us. | |||

Huzzah! The worst day fishing is still better than the best day yammering about politicians. Although I might suggest a happy medium where we discuss which one of these two would make the best bait... . | |||

Biden is running around today claiming he knows how to tell the truth. Last night he claimed no soldiers have been killed on his watch. He has ignored the 13 in the botched afghan withdraw from the start. More interested in his watch than the bodies coming off the plane. He doesnt ever mention the 3 killed in Jodan. He owes those families an apology for dismissing their loss. | |||

You betcha, when the Palo Verdes are blooming. Last time I was fishing the Salt River for Cats I foul-hooked an enormous turtle in a good current. At first I thought wow definitely a good fish, but when I got it to shore about 15 minutes later and it broke water and saw me, and I saw it, hahahaha it busted a move and the un-fouled hook flew by my face a million miles an hour! A short while later an LEO with the AZGFD stopped to check us and I was sharing the turtle story with him. He laughed and asked if I had ever caught and eaten any. I told him no, that, that experience was actually my first and it was an accidental by-catch. That, I had eaten turtle soup before in a Resturante in Nogales Mexico many many years ago when they still served sea turtle, but that it never occurred to me that I could have kept that Turtle from the Salt River and eaten it. He chuckled and said that it was his understanding from those who eat their turtles that a single turtle has flesh from different parts of its body that taste like, beef, pork, chicken, and fish. I've never looked at a turtle quite the same way since hahaha. . | |||

Now that you say it outright, it makes sense to me. She has excellent experience. Even if she didn't get everything right at least she learned from it. We all make mistakes, but the worst mistake is failure to learn from it. That's Trump's M.O. Plus, she doesn't have the long and tortured history of Rightists' propaganda to make her the villain HRC was deemed to be. Given what we have, in our face, Kamala is  ************* Real conservatives aren't radicalized. Thus "radicalized conservative" is an oxymoron. Yet there are many radicalized republicans.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_River_(Arizona) That looks like beautiful country to me. ================================== Occasionally, in my quest for flatheads, I bycatch a turtle, mostly when the live bait dies. That's why I check the lines often. There are several species here, all freshwater. I release them all. The worst bait, the bait that catches turtles, is cut bait. I refuse to use it. I would really like to catch some striper bass. ************* Real conservatives aren't radicalized. Thus "radicalized conservative" is an oxymoron. Yet there are many radicalized republicans.

It really is picturesque here, specifically East of the Lake. Because I know you are an admirer of Theodore Roosevelt ( like me) I'll share: https://www.srpnet.com/grid-wa...e-roosevelt-dam-lake T.R. was here for the dedication not long after returning from his safari in East Africa with his Son Kermit. One year after the dedication, Arizona established Statehood. As far as Stripers, I've caught a few Stripers in Lake Powell, and hybrid "Wipers" in Elephant Butte Lake, New Mexico. I've had a hankering to catch a saltwater Striper and been researching options off the N.Carolina coast in the future. . | |||

The entire Roosevelt Lake area is very rich in Arizona history as well. The original dam was constructed with hand-cut stone, cut in on site by Italian stone masons. It was dedicated in March of 1911. The Quarry the stone was cut from is still visible in the high cliffs above the dam. It was rebuilt later 89-96. My industrial supply (Hydraulics) company did well supplying many of the contractors involved. They also built the new bridge across the bay the dam resides in. Before the new construction, you had to drive across the top of the dam to get from the west side of the lake to the east. The butrusses on both sides of the old dam, were very tight turns. A Pick-up truck with just an average sized boat could make the turns. If your rig was too long, you had to either drive through Globe Az or up the infamous Apache trail. Which still today, is a tortuous dirt road that comes up the Salt River Canyon, past Canyon Lake, Saguaro and Apache Lakes from Apache Junction. My formative boating years were all on this wonderful lake. https://1lens2.com/articles/th...elt-dam-then-and-now Formerly "Nganga" | |||

Steve have you ever visited the Cemetery South of the new Marina? There are a number of stone obelisk's carved as markers by and for those tradesmen who perished while constructing the dam. There is in fact a headstone there that marks the final resting place of a European immigrant stonecutter. . | |||

Well Im right wing. I dont agree with much she has to say. But she isn't a danger to the democracy in the way Trump potentially is. I feel the people behind the scenes with keep her on track, as they did Biden. Id see it as a caretaker position thats a warning to both parties to get thier shit sorted. | |||

I have not. We were just up there two weeks ago. Scoping out the ramp to see if it will support launching my current boat. Wish I knew it was there.I love stuff like that Formerly "Nganga" | |||

There is a parking lot on the right, just before you enter Lake View Park across the highway from the Roosevelt Lake Visitor Center. The trail to the Cemetery is a paved path 250 yards long and proceeds up a fairly steep hill West of Lake View Park. It's not wheelchair friendly. The present estimates indicate this Cemetery is the final resting place of 75 individuals. Complications from child birth, dysentery, consumption, and influenza affected those living in close quarters. Alcohol related incidents and illnesses were common, and a local Sheriff was hired by the dam contractor to chase down bootleggers and murderers. Did you find a suitable launch ramp? . | |||

For once I agree with you. I'm a little worried about those behind the scenes, as you say, but a lot worried about those behind the scenes of Trump Team. They can't control him. He controls them and he's nutz. ************* Real conservatives aren't radicalized. Thus "radicalized conservative" is an oxymoron. Yet there are many radicalized republicans.

We caught hybrids (white bass and striped bass cross) in the Ohio River about 4 weeks ago. We were right between Indiana and Kentucky. The Striped Bass were caught on Cumberland River. I hooked a 30 inch Striped Bass. I thought I was on a skis. Great fun and great eating. | |||

The Cholla ramp facility is nice. But two issues. My trailer is 49 feet long. To park it, I gotta go way up to the top parking lot. other issue is getting my son on the boat He's disabled and the courtesy dock there is not very nice. It's rickety and short. My wife and I will make a day trip, just the two of us to give it a try. I like that fact I can run over 20 miles without any boat traffic. At 85-105 MPH, you use up lake fast. Havasu is about the same size but even during the week, its busy. Roosevelt on a Wednesday is completely void of boat traffic. I live 12 miles from Lake Pleasant. Its only about 6 miles long. I only go there if I need to test something. Formerly "Nganga" | |||

To add to the original topic. I was watching the news just now. I learned that there are 16 states that don't allow for a campaign to just "name another candidate" This could get really interesting from a constitutional perspective. Could the Senate Democrats agree to impeach Biden? Then allow Kamala to finish the term, but NOT run for re-election? (if he refuses to drop out) Can they name a new VP, since they have the votes in the Senate? Kampala finishes the term and the new VP becomes the candidate? Regardless of party preference, this could be a real civics lesson for us all. Formerly "Nganga" | |||

Wow add a tow vehicle to the length of that trailer and I can understand the issues involved. I'm not sure it's still the case, but at one time the Marina offered a launch/retrieval service for a fee at the Marina's ramp using their tractor, but I still have no practical advice for how to assist your Son aboard in that scenario. Wish you luck in any case. Slather on the SPF 50! . | |||

?????  Biden handed Afghanistan back to the Taliban. The people behind the scenes did emphatically not keep Biden on track, Biden handed Afghanistan back to the Taliban. Yes, "W" and Obama and Trump also failed, but Biden sealed the deal. Harris would be worse, you an I both know it. Move yourself over here Shanks, plunk yourself and your loved ones in a major American metro of your choosing,soak up some of the local Pro Hamas anti Israel protests and ask yourself if your new home will be the epicenter of the next Islamic Terrorist attack. It's coming here, you have to know that even from your far removed position. Extreme Islam in control of the M.E., broad support for the terrorists in the USA, an open southern border,.... you'll stay in New Zealand I have no doubt and I can't get back to Dillingham fast enough. | |||

Scott, at the height of our left wing govt with massively unfair gun laws being forced on us, with severe rules around farming underway and with the harshest (opinion) covid restrictions that crashed a new business wed just started. My partner and I decided that if one more thing went wrong we would be heading too the US for a fresh start. But it would have never been a Metro area. It would have been a rural state with plenty of public land. Idaho, Colorado, Wyoming, Alaska. Doesn't matter what kind of terrorist attack, we have suffered too. But the reality is if our choice here was a Trump, and what he represents as far as risk gos, I would be so fucken pissed off with the party that was meant to hold my values as theirs. I would definitely vote against them. | |||

tangential response, but if you need it laid out, the House is demanding the recordings, not the 'scripts - if the debate was any predictor of joe's mental condition, perhaps even maybe a high point of his functionality, then the why they won't release the tapes is now known .. opinions vary band of bubbas and STC hunting Club Information on Ammoguide about the416AR, 458AR, 470AR, 500AR What is an AR round?

I know what the House is demanding. I frankly, do not care, because we have the transcripts. If you want to know what was said, read the transcripts. Court reporters record every utterance including non-verbal sounds. Of you want to know how the President responded. See above. Now, a court reporter cannot capture how soft spoken someone is. However, if someone is so soft spoken the reporter cannot tell what is being said, the person is instructed to speak up. That will be captured on the transcript. So, read it if yuh care so much. | |||
