      White River Kayak Fishing Indy Northside - Good Stretches of River?

      Thanks for all the great suggestions! My son and i both agreed that we need to slow down and fish shorter stretches. Seems like we end up on a "paddle-thon" instead of fishing likely stretches.

      I70 - Why So Bad Repair?

      Wife and I are newly retired and have been dragging our travel trailer all over the midwest. Just came back from a trip to Kansas City to visit friends. I-70 from about Cloverdale to Illinois border was full of crappy stretches. Some were the "WTF" type. Pulling a 8,000 lb trailer you feel...

      White River Kayak Fishing Indy Northside - Good Stretches of River?

      Thanks - I may have to check that out. We have camped at White River Campground and fished up and down but not as far down to the low head dam. Been through that spot but it was with a family group and we mostly paddled. I like the deeper waters just north of the low head as they looked like...

      Kayaks

      We have 2 Lifetime kayaks. One is a Tamarack Pro and the other is Yukon Angler. The Yukon is a 13 footer and much heavier and pretty much needs 2 people to carry. The Yukon also has adjustable foot rests which helps on comfort easier paddling. Both have the nicer web seats which are a...

      White River Kayak Fishing Indy Northside - Good Stretches of River?

      Any suggestions for a section to fish? We've tried sections from just south of the low head dam near Clare all the way down to the Keystone at the Crossing area. Trying to plan a shorter trip - 4-5 hours with more fishing/less paddling. For example- put in at the DNR ramp in downtown...

      2023 Groundhogs

      Wow, we must be related! Early 70's, I take my grass cutting money and buy a used Rem 788 in 22-250. Had a Weaver K-8 on it. I learned reloading on a Lee Loader hand kit. (still have the little Lee loader but sadly no Rem 788). Spent a lot of time at a family property south of Bloomfield. I...

      Black powder reloads

      Check out "Cast Boolits" website and forum. TONS of info on good loads, etc. I used to have an Uberti 45 Long Colt. (yes, wish I still had it!) Along with all the smokeless reloading fun I would also make up some black powder loads for the 45. Can't recall the exact load but I do remember...

      J.C. Higgins Model 31 rifle & scope mount?

      I have that rifle. Looks like you have the "JC Higgins" scope that was an option at the time. Lots of history about the rifle. Made by High Standard for Sears. JC Higgins was a famous Sears employee that ran their Sporting Goods department. My grandpa gave me the rifle (dad approved) for my...

      Gents - I've been following your comments about the Taurus TX Compact. What kind of optic base will fit it? (I'm new to the micro red dot world). Great info!

      My CMP 1911 A1

      Congrats on the piece of history! I'm getting old - most of the weapons I used in the army have been replaced and are now in museums. I was a 19E, armor crewman. We all had 1911's. (I stayed in long enough to transition to the Beretta M9) As you enjoy that chunk of steel try and imagine all...
