Sometimes I get skunked going after big cats. Could it be the season? Maybe they moved?

I'm an artist by trade so naturally I draw and paint along with photography. I play the guitar and enjoy roasting my own coffee. I'd say I'm into coffee as much as I'm into airguns.

It's a rare day if I get skunked fishing for big cats. Yes, the blue cats are migratory, the flatheads are not.

Yeah but the flatties still move a little. Maybe just not casting in the right spot? They move up in the holes and undercuts to spawn, but the spawn should be over by now. Do they necessarily move back to the same logjam or wherever afterwards?

Whew...where to begin! Hobbies include, airgunning, knife making, building muzzleloading rifles and pistols, making powder horns. I enjoy shooting pool even tho I can't play as I used to. I've been an avid reader since childhood..always have at least one going at all times and usually two. My main reading interest is history. Once I started reading fictional history involving sailing ships I became so interested in them that I began building wooden models of 18th and early 19th century sailing warships. I really became interested in the English Frigates..(the destroyer of their day..) however I have plans for Nelson's flagship "VICTORY". All I need is the nerve to begin working on it.
There's other hobbies as well but I'd end up using the whole page here and bore all you guys to tears....so I'll stop.

The spare time that I have when I'm not shooting is spent in my shop building things out of wood. Working on some Koa grips for my 2240 currently. I fish (snook, redfish, trout) when I can but that has not been very often recently. My wife and I also enjoy camping and everything that goes along with that. Oh, for the next few months my Saturdays will be consumed with college football-Go Gators!

Nothing beats a good sound system. I can't afford a nice sound system right now so I get by with some quality closed back circumaural headphones.

Custom and Mid-tech Knife collecting, mostly US made. (if you think Air guns can get expensive), My dogs and training. I have 2 dobermans a 6 year old and a 14 week old that I do obedience work with and therapy work with. I also like chasing down rare bottles a bourbon. I used to be big in to home brewing but when I moved a few years back I lost my space for home brewing. I also hunt, fish, and garden its not relay a hobby per say, just a way to get a cheaper and better food source.

Lol popular thread, I see lotsa similarities here. Shooting is my most serious passion, but before that and still today some of the areas that I've delved into include but are not limited to: nitro rc bashing, Trail riding dirt bikes, electrical tinkering, I was very serious into pyrotechnics for a while (hence the name), hunting, hiking, backpacking, PC construction, model rockets, reading and watching sci fi books and movies, rc airplanes, working out, running, playing B-ball, and shooting..... long bows, crossbows, blowguns, potato cannons
, air guns (of course), Precision bolt guns, long range rimfires, shotguns, handguns, revolvers, slingshots ect. ect. Basically if it shoots, fires, throws, launches I'm down with it
.
Cheers

Been doing RC's for the last 6 years. Mainly rc drag racing. It's fading away here and I not so good at touring cars so I think I'm getting out of rc's. Trying to get financed to build me a garage and buy a lathe, mill and some work working stuff. Other than that hunting and fishing.

See my handle = Bicycle riding and racing has been my main exercise since the 70s. Then there is fishing, but not so much lately. And last in this list but first in my heart is my newest bobbie, that of being a GRANDFATHER!
