P500 What did you do to/with your Pioneer 500 today?

[Sledge]

The coastal bend is Texas. And it's closer to me than Galveston.

Everything I wrote was about the coastal bend of Texas. The Texas coast runs mostly E/W to Corpus Christi, and mostly N/S from there to Brownsville.

The transition is known as the coastal bend.

If anyone with a good boat wants to try salt, I'd be happy to show you some spots. I only fish artificials, but don't mind if you fish bait, as long as you don't mind me making fun of you.

Bait catches more fish, hands down. More trash, too. Stingrays and Lord knows whatall. Yuck.

I likely ain't as good as a $450 a day guide, but I can get you started, and I cost $450 a day less. Actually more than that. I don't need a $100 tip either. You will be allowed to buy the beer.

Thanks, Montecresto.

Here's our "Tank". Since that picture was taken, we've added a top, and a windshield. I have side mirrors on order. We are still pretty new to this side by side stuff. Fortunately, we have a lot of ATV trails outside of Grand Junction to play on.

I live in Grand Junction as well so let me know if you plan of putting A Arm Guards on you P5. I have a set of OEM guards I will make you a good deal on. The are almost new and I took them off only because I replace them with SSS Off Road guards and skid.

You damn betcha you can! I'll have to insist on buying the beer, though.

Right on! Do you have the boat? I have a pontoon on Hamilton but I never bought a trailer because I never intended to take it off this lake, there's everything I need here. If you don't we can fish Hamilton, the water out of Ouachita feeds Hamilton, which feeds Catherine. All three are connected lakes probably 80-100 miles in length combined. I'll sweeten the deal. If you'd agree to fishing with me on Hamilton, I've got a guest house on the water next to mine, empty with your name on it!!!! I'm off to my New Mexico property for three weeks, but when I return, we'll get together if you're game. And as an added incentive, you could ride the Ouachita forest with the Red Wasp and the Yellow Jacket at the same time. Feature that.

Sounds good. Reckon we oughta take this off-forum before someone tells us to get a room.

I'll pm you my contact info.

[Alan aka Davinci]

Alan, I'm interested in those if he's not!

Ok MC, here are the pictures of them, I am asking $150 for the front and rear.. Price on Rocky Mountain ATV is $159 front and $140 rear for a cost of $298 so I think $150 is a great price. If he is not interested I would ask that you pay shipping.

Got it muddy, then cleaned it up. Gotta love these plastic windshields.

Hard to show with a pic, but these scratches are getting really bad.

Yeah I know.

Just whining.

Maybe someday I'll do that.

I think that a windshield made of the flexible plastic like the rear window would work pretty good. My friend had an Amish guy make a full soft cab for is Pioneer 700. That's what he did for his windshield and he really likes it. At least you could wipe mud off of it without ruining it. Paid the guy $400 for the whole cab. Come winter I will be thinking hard about calling that guy.

Just a few reds from dip netting last year.

Are there freshwater shrimp up there, AKfb?

Pink-fleshed trout are the only freshwater fish I care to eat, although there are many species I haven't been blessed with the opportunity to try.

I'm mostly an inshore saltwater kayak fisherman. Reds, specks, flounder. Yum.

Joe

No shrimp per say just small gray scud bugs in the lakes. We get lots of salmon, sockeye (reds) are my favorite followed by Coho (silvers) and Chinook (Kings), I throw pinks and chums back.....last year I put about 300 pounds of reds in the freezer....smoked salmon, cream cheese, and jalapeño jelly on crackers is one of my personal favorites.
When I lived in NC I kayak fished the inshore waterways a lot for specks and flounder. I trade moose meat with a buddy that lives in Homer for halibut, Alaskan spotted shrimp, and rock fish so we eat well.
I don't think I have bought any meat other then pork ribs and chicken in years.

I know I don't belong in the P500 thread but since y'all are taking about reds, I figure I’d chime in.

This is a couple from my April trip to Louisiana.


And some more
