Thanks Tex some very interesting reading especially when it comes to fish it is amazing what can happen

[bocephus]

gus4416 Don’t think bait for catfish is too important.

Tex_77 Looks like SD is going to have a lot of jobs in the meat packing industry in a couple of years. Great state for hunting and fishing.

Tex_77 lots to read…but truth be told I only opened one story…

[Tex_77]

Departing Contestant I bet I know which one…lol

Tex_77 The beefalo was a long time coming for sure. Had to just laugh at the catfish story.

[johnsbrewhouse]

My guess is those gentlemen who swim in the buff with large catfish populations may want to think again about that habit. Looks like wieners make good bait.

Tex_77 That is some kind of story about the catfish bait. Other good stories too. Thank you Tex_77

zbigjeff Surprised to hear read the beefalo story too as I thought that was about 30 years late. Yes, the diesel fuel has gotten absolutely ridiculous about like a lot of other things! It was just about back down to where it should be, at or below regular unleaded corn oil. Now, it is well over a dollar more than corn oil.

calldoctoday I have never understood why diesel is more expensive than gas.

[calldoctoday]

bocephus Yes, don’t even get me started tonight. I noticed about 35 years ago or so, when it was much cheaper than regular, that if I happened to have to stop in the middle of the big city where a lot of those Mercedes Benzes, etc. were driving around, that it was higher there. I always told my wife that was the reason. Then the normal price went up above regular in most places & it floored me. But, maybe it was still the market thing, that I have never been able to force myself to truly understand. Then they added the PITB stuff & now I am just beside myself. Don’t get me started. I still have a lot of work to do.

[bocephus]

calldoctoday I had a 2007 diesel, when I bought it diesel was cheaper than regular, about 2 months later diesel was more expensive. My wife blamed me because I bought the diesel truck.

[calldoctoday]

bocephus We can’t win for loosing. If things were any different, we would be heroes or something.

So, is that considered a rooster fish?
Doc you have a pm.

[zbigjeff]

bocephus I thought about it each time I had to buy a car. Then, I noticed the same jump. It’s the old supply/demand thing for sure.

Tex_77 Thanks for the updates Tex, the Beefalo was a hit here in the very early 80’s when a local rancher had a herd of them, but as soon as he left town the fad died just as quickly as it started.

EPA regulations… diesel started the climb when the EPA mandated the removal of sulfur slowly over the years until we ended up today with the ULSD. Sulfur is what gave the diesel the lubricity in the old days. I’ll say it again the gov’t is not your friend everything they touch turns into a pile of dung and/or a pile of cash in some politicians pocket.
