Coast guard probably has repeaters up and down the river.

Antenna,
This is the one I got. Tried to avoid all the bells and whistles , that much less to go wrong with it, I hope.
Hope it is a good one. Guess we will find out.
All comments welcome. Also wonder if our US Power Squadron certificate is ok to work it or we have to take radio course?
Carpal tunnel?Just got both of these in mail a few minutes ago. Looks like it is going to be a busy day and of course hubby just took off with the electronics and leaving the other stuff for me. Dream on.
He is the only one here who is good at it though. But we do have to get back to the fence, trees and pile today. Or maybe take a break since my right wrist isn't working [really painful] and only have one hand to work with after yesterdays jobs. I took some aspirin.
Carpal tunnel?
I have never fished in a river. I am not a water person. I don't like being in boats. I like to fish from shore and have my feet on the ground. Lots of interesting information in this thread though.
I have fishing gear and have done little fishing in the past few decades. I did lots of fishing as a child. I have tried to fish since I have lived in Colorado. I have yet to catch one fish. I think that going fishing with some people who are more successful and who would be willing to school others would be good. I don't think there are many of those out there though.
Sturgeon: there are sturgeon in the Missouri River. The man who played Radar on the televison series, Mash, Gary Burghoff likes to fish. He flew into North Dakota to fish specifically for sturgeon, many years ago.
I went bass fishing yesterday. Very slow because the weather has turned cooler and the fish weren't biting.
Caught a few including 1 really nice smallmouth.
But a day fishing is always good. I have heard that God does not count fishing days against your time on earth so that's good.
BackL at least you caught something. Its fun going down the river anyway catching a fish is just a bonus now. We see all kinds of wildlife, gators, turtles, birds etc,.
ya'll ever been deep sea fishing? I LOVE IT. sea bass or redfish are some fine eating
tip. take a 12 pack of beer and a empty cooler with you. if you see a shrimp boat. make a barter for fresh shrimp

Man, Come get me.
I am NOT a fishermen. I can run catfish trout lines but as far as fishing a pond..LOL I just stand there and feed the fish.
Wanna hear a story?
When I bought my land, It has a pond on it. The old man that used to own it. kept it stocked with cat fish and bream. But it sat unmolested for 1o years. So. Here I come. I spent days clearing a path around the pond. then i tossed in a line. BOOM I caught a 6'' bass in like 2 minutes. Tossed a line in again and BAM another bass. I was not expecting to fish, So I had no gear with me. I tossed the bass back
I went and got my tackle box and tossed a line in.
Those 2 bass had went and told the other bass all about me. and i never got a bite, nibble
I did see the bass come to the surface and laugh at me
rh bottom corner you can see my lilly farm lol

That may be true in some places but our idiot governor has mandated masks even out fishing. We ignore that stupidity of course.Hope to be back at it soon. At least on the river you don't have to worry about mask,distancing, etc,.
Our governor is running for the Senate so he is not that stupid.That may be true in some places but our idiot governor has mandated masks even out fishing. We ignore that stupidity of course.
