My very helpful mail gatherer just wrote me letting me know today he received a new CC in the mail for our account. We have 60 days to activate it. From Here ?

If you have world wide cell phone service it will work. Nephew activated his new CC from Afghanistan ten years ago.

Drifting is what I do in our Kayak when the old Garcia rod is in my hand casting with the Mitchell 300 into the North Fork River in East ILL-Nois.

"If" is the operative Word. Nope. No critter like that back here in our 8000 foot valley.

Still have the Mitchel 300 and Garcia rod I bought in 1970 when I returned from Viet Nam. Landed everything from blue gills to steelhead with that combo, and only had to replace the eye three times.

I've done my share of drift fishing with a row boat on a small lake. Sometimes you find the big ones, sometimes you get skunked, sometimes you fall asleep and end up beached, LOL

I have gone through just one eye. But then we are only up north 1/4 of our time.
The rig does do well with anything I have ever latched into.
Had the reel apart last time north as the grease dried out.

those 300's are a wonder.
i have a couple 3-4 and a 330 that i used so much it cut grooves in the guides of the eagle claw pole i bought it for.
i still break out the fiberglass poles and the mitchell reels on the super calm days down to the lake, you can't hardly get a pole with that much tip sensitivity that still has enough backbone to fight a 4-6lb. Trout.

That is why you put new guides on (do them all at one time “.

A $12 fishing pole in 1970 now cost over $129!

and you can still get a 12 dollar fishing pole, that's about the same quality.
i use a bright pink pole i paid $4.50 for, two-three years ago, just because it annoys Littlegirl.
it'd make a good crappie rod, but it's caught a lot trout from the shore.
she doesn't say much since i bought her a nice med/med St. Croix with a Presidential series reel right before she got married.
most of the time she still uses a brokeass rod i made for her Brother that she spray painted purple and i later painted the wrappings with zombie green glow in the dark nail polish just to make it uglier... LOL
she liked it better.. DOH!
we had a pretty good running battle to see who could catch the biggest fish with the worst pole/reel combo on the planet for quite a while.
i think when i bought that 5 dollar reel that had like 2lbs. of drag, didn't even bob in and out and [finally] caught that big 12 lb. carp without using a net i won.
we even had a go with ice fishing poles for small mouth fishing, snoopie/spider man rigs in the boat for cat fish and all sorts of dumb stuff.

Question mostly for Ian. GKs put some bad gas in the atv. Starts but won't run. Tried to siphon gas yesterday but hose is still curled so didn't get much. Seafoam or other stuff? Suspect some water in it, give it some throttle and it revs and dies. Gator runs rough too but does run. Tossing the really old plastic gas jugs and got some farm gas. Was told the GK tried to run it to get rid of the bad gas, probably stopped when it ran bad. Took some friends to the ranch for a get out of town day yesterday, fortunately the gator ran - neither of us can walk far.

A lot of ATV's have a manual shut off. Can you turn off the gas, disconnect the fuel line, stick the fuel line in a gas can open the valve and drain the tank? The pull the sediment bowl from the carb and dump that. Start over with fresh gas . My fuel treatment of choice is StarTron.
Depends on the year of the ATV, most in recent years are fuel injected.

Bad gas, on a newer ATV.. Eek.
I would at least take the effort to pull that tank, and drain it, then rinse it out.
Of course some will say just dump some HEET In there, swish it around , let it sit a day with the cap loose, and siphon it out. Then fresh.
But if it's me, always at least end up pulling the tank, if I don't then I am removing and cleaning the injectors, or carb. I just do not ever get away with quick cures.
Interested to see what Ian says.
Good luck.
