How much would a honeymoon in Hawaii cost today?
How much would a kegger in the hills cost?

Sure people are doing more extravagant things but everything is way more expensive now than it was back then. The value of the dollar doesn’t come close to touching that difference.

re: Easiest marina to launch and get to the long rocks of the MRGO by bay eloi?

Hopedale marina is a shorter run but you need to know where you’re going. Campos is a straight shot but you’re in the MRGO the whole time.

This is incorrect. There’s no straight shot to get to the long rocks in the MRGO. Makes zero sense to launch at campos when trying to go to long rocks.

Your options are either run the spoil canal out or take loutre to bakers and pop back out on the backside of the rocks on the GO and run the mrgo the rest of the way.

re: What are best baits for pond fishing?

Ponds under an acre are incredibly difficult to manage. Ponds with crappie are also extremely difficult to manage. I’d damn near drain it and start from scratch.

re: Yamaha F200 Tilt and Trim Rebuild

I agree. Brought it to Boat Stuf in hammond and they told us it needed to be replaced as the parts to rebuild it were out of stock/backordered/discontinued.

I'll give David Wade a call

Yamaha F200 Tilt and Trim Rebuild

Posted by reds on reds on reds on 4/20/26 at 7:57 am

Tilt and trim on my 2016 Yamaha F200 is shot and needs to be rebuilt. The motor won’t stay in the trimmed up position. There’s a place in Florida called five star marine that does rebuilds but wondering if any of you baws have used anyone local for a rebuild.

Nah, we make this trip 2-3 times a year. I do know of a few good ones up there if you need one.

I don't, thank you tho. We had two rafts up there and we were the only people not running jet boats and side drifting nymphs so it was a miserable time for us :lol:

Are you going with a guide? We went to ozarks last June on a smallmouth trip but the the places we wanted to fish got blown out badly by some storms while we were there so we went to the white for a day.

Been catching some big stripers around Alabama the last few weeks. Heading to Puerto Rico in a few weeks for a wedding and plan to tarpon fish for a day while I’m there.

Depends on what field you’re in.

I’m 32 and a naval architect and my wife is a surgeon. I don’t see AI replacing either of our jobs before we retire.
