Smelt Fishing tonight into the wee hours of morning....take a nap then drive home.

Tommorrow hopefully smelt fry at the house and maybe a movie with the kids.

Sunday Footvball games and maybe a little time spinnimng wood....got some pluggage to make.

Graphite can be bought at any H/W store...pretty sure Homies has it and i think you may actually be able to find it at AC Moore,

I'll send you a (Very Long Winded) PM with a few tips and tricks.

"ANYONE KNOW WHERE TO GET GRAPHITE with MOLYBENDUM locally?"

Seems like you've done the same web searches I have in the last few weeks. If you find it, please let me know. The race is the 31st so we have some time.

Cool thing his pack does is have an adult race to let the parents have some fun. I found my trophy winning car (fastest car) from 1986 and I'll be entering that and bringing the trophy along as well. The kids should get a kick out of seeing a car 20+ years old.

Best thing you can do....also calms down the Competitive edge a little so they behave during the kids race.

We used to do the same...we'd get together the night before and setup the track, drink a few beers and have an adults only race. Always a Good Time.

Do a search on Pinewood tips. The real key to victory is putting the nails(axles) in a dremel or rotozip and hitting them with 1500 grit sandpaper til they shine. Any auto body place will give you a piece for free.I wrapped a popsicle stick with the sandpaper and held it to the axle. I also got a small file to get the burrs off the underside of the nail head before sanding. Make sure you douse the wheels with Hobby lube before racing and allow approx 1/8 " of clearance between wheels and body.I could also suggest aligning the axles with wax paper so it runs true. Tim still has the grand prize winning car which was painted by the Hab's man.Good Luck.

I know that pond and it isn't in Mansfield!!!

That's the one issue with icefishing, you certainly consume more calories than you burn.

It was my first time Ice fishing in about 20 years,it was worth the wait.My son had a blast,when the traps were slow the kids messed with the seagulls.They tied an onion ring to a spool of string & tossed it out on the ice,when the seagulls came down to nab it the kids would pull it away from them causing a frenzy of birds scrambling to get it,but somtimes they would get it and try to fly away with it.....Till they yanked it away:jester:


Between the beers & deep frier you got that right....Plenty of time to shed it off 90+ days till Spring:devil2:

a few good ponds local to try if you want to do it again I got the gear
hasn't been used in about half that time you waited. Just need to saunter down to the bait shack for those extra large baits.

It was fun watching them catch. I't didn't take them long to catch on. You guys can come down anytime. The more the merrier. The Seagul fishing should be good for a while. LOL. Just let me know when you guys want to head back down.

You have access to that pond? I hate walking in from the road.

It's one of 2 ponds I fish freshwater. The reason I fish it is because my friend lives on it and has a boat ramp in his yard and you don't need a license. The road is a crappy walk. If you want to give it a shot and not have to walk just shoot me a PM. There is also access from the Westport side if you live in the neighborhood and pay dues. But my other buddy is in charge of collecting dues and maintaining the area.
