General Information

I meant to post this in yesterday’s update.  I bought Whisker Seeker from Gary during the Covid shutdown.  He gave me a bill of sale on it, and I was able to transfer ownership of the boat, but the title was in his safe deposit box at the bank.  When things started opening up again…

Many years ago I worked for a rural telephone carrier. It was good and bad. Technically I learned a lot, but as a job it turned out to not be so great. I was told it was a job that would grow, but that never happened. I was told they would send me to training…

I deactivated an internal statistics plugin with the blog script I am running for the site.  The site appears to be noticeably faster now.  I’ll just have to go back to looking at the stats at the server level.   If you use a Word Press script I suggest you do not use the WP…

If you know somebody who has a tackle business do you kind of EXPECT them to give you free baits from time to time? If a “buddy” knows how to do something and he helps you out, do you kind of expect it? Do you expect people to trade with you because you are a…

I had a member of the old forum reach out to me because I had not posted here in a while.  I haven’t had much to write, and I didn’t want to fill the blog up with garbage posts. I have only been out fishing a couple times, and it was no big deal. Dave…

As you can probably see I have added social media buttons to the blog.  If you like the content I post and share it on your favorite social media platforms it may influence the type of content I share on this site and the articles I write.  I’ll probably always post whatever I am working…

Since eliminating the forum overall traffic has dropped from when the forum was public, but not that much from after the forum was taken private.  There was lower traffic initially after the format change, but it has been growing back up towards the same levels as when the forum was still online.

Join Rumble. Its maybe not 100% uncensored, but its 500% better than YouTube. https://rumble.com/register/JustAnotherGunGuy/ You might notice when I post a fishing, tackle making, etc video here I always post the link from one of my Rumble channels.  Most of the time I also post the exact same video on the same or similar name…

NEW PHONE. Most of my contacts did not update. If you want me to have your number text me and tell me who you are. If not, that’s okay too.

An associate, dare I say friend, sent me this photo.  Les Neidig is the now retired owner of Able Security.  (I’m the partially retired owner of The Security Consultant).  We still chat from time to time on one of the security groups.  It came up that while I was neck deep in alligators he was…

I’ve been a little busy for the last few weeks.  My dad passed away, and my mom isn’t quite up to living on her own so we moved her in with us.  This comes with the usual expected emotional turmoil as well as quite a lot of additional responsibilities.  This hasn’t left a lot of…

Regrets: Not many. I don’t regret calling an asshole an asshole even if the asshole was a better fighter than me and more prone to start one. LOL. Yeah, my leg got broke in a motorcycle accident, but my nose didn’t. LOL. I have one regret though that I think about from time to time….

There was a story floating around one of the neighborhood social media sights claiming Arizona had made right turn on red illegal.  I even found several grey news sights that had picked up the story. LOOKS LIKE FAKE NEWS. It looks like the “no right on red” was a lie started by somebody in Indiana….

Really, I planned to take off and go do fun things today.  Well the house isn’t caught back up after the holiday, so I told myself, I’ll do a couple chores first, then I’ll go finish outfitting my boat for the coming (*) tournament season, and take the afternoon to go fishing.  I didn’t make…

As I am sure you are aware, Bass Pro Shops owns Cabelas.  You should be aware that they are a privately held company.  With just Bass Pro and Cabelas they control a huge share of the market.  If you are up on these things you may be aware that regulator grumbling probably prevented the takeover…

Unlike almost every other time I went to Vegas I had money in my pocket and credit cards with an available balance.  I was struck with how every single thing costs.  I don’t mean things are expensive ($11 for a domestic beer in a bar), but that every single little thing costs. A couple years…

I’ll be dragging Bar Hopper over to the shop soon to do a first unboxing and assembly video (maybe a couple) of the Twister surface drive.  The new motor to go on it was ordered a few days ago. I am about 75% decided to take the 50HP Merc off The Tin Can and install…

You might have noticed there is no place for comments.  The spam was brutal.  Moderating all comments didn’t help.  It only took me a day or two to realize spending hours per day deleting moderated SPAM wasn’t going to cut it.  If you have a need to contact me use the Contact Us page on…

Below is an old rant worthy of reposting. If you don’t want to read a rant stop when you get to *** RANT MODE ON *** below. Sometimes people surprise me. A while back an old Yuma Bass Man member (there is no membership anymore) gave me an old trolling motor to do with what…

Many of the resources of the old original website will be renewed.  Places to go Fishing in Yuma, Boats and boating, etc.  As a result if you have been a long time follower you may see things pop up in the feed you have seen before.  Most will be rewritten in a modified format with…

Check back often.  I’ll try to add something new every few days.  Every day if I am doing lots of stuff. I dumped the old forum based site some time ago, and spent the last year trying out a simple flat file blog script.  It’s just not working for me, and I’ve had to restore…
