boynabubble 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2011 Nice view Dustin. Glad your trip went well. Make sure your float tube holds up before you get in too deep of water. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Panama Red 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2011 We used to dive kingman wash on the AZ side of the lake... Tons of bass and bream, used to watch the bream bed on the warm gravel flats along the bank. The bass cover is over the top...huge boulders and rock walls. And then the stipers in vegas wash later this year...Have fun! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Vegas 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2011 It has not been blown up for around 11 years. It is a bucks bags bullet. Granted it is a little older but I only used it twice. Wonder if the bladder has a shelf life? Now I got to find where I stored my other force fin?? ARG Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Vegas 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2011 I did need to get another bladder for it. I called bucks bags and they said it should be replaced every 6-7 years with the old bladders which is what I had. They did sell it to me at 50% off which was really cool. Should show up on monday..

wes917 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2011 Really cool pic. Sky's here are grey and dreary. It doesn't help that I worked all day and am missing a night out with my family so I can study. Took a break and saw your thread. The pic helped a little so thanks :thumbsup: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FlyFishin'Jam 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2011 Just managed to attach my hand to my vice via a nice 3/0 circle hook, had it in the vice and was grabbing some material on the floor, brushed past at pace and *wham* to the barb! Just about poked through, attached some lanyard and managed to remove it. Then while i was finishing the fly i squeezed my zap too hard and an enormous drop fell and went straight onto the bobbin of new thread i just put on! UGH! I am going to the lounge now.
