I had a Donkey Kong arcade game that needed a little work. Since it was very hard to get a repairman to come where I live, I decided to give away my Donkey kong. I offered it to Baxter's but they turned it down. They could've repaired it and sold it for $1000 but they still turned it down. I never thought I'd see the day when somebody would turn something down that could earn them $1000. I gave my Donkey Kong to my brother and he made fun of Baxter's for turning it down. Several years earlier I bought a monitor for my Phoenix arcade game at Baxter's. I seldom played it and 6 and a half years later the monitor stopped working. Since I seldom played my Phoenix game, the monitor should've lasted a lot longer than it did. If you want to do business with a great arcade store, please do business somewhere else. ...read more

411 Motor Speedway
By Doctorsid Advertising & Visual Media November 15, 2010
I spent 13 years living in Charlotte and attended many NASCAR Races at the speedway there and across the region. I recently moved to Seymour, TN and decided to drop by the 411 Speedway one Sunday afternoon (due to rain out of saturday night). I was looking to capture some images to create some new works for my artofautos.com gallery and in the process got hooked on what turned out to be some great racing action. Its like it never stopped from one race to the next. The season is over until next spring... but rest assured I will be back many times next season doctorsid ...read more

Cold Weather late fall Largemouth Bass Fishing is hot
When late fall comes around most anglers slow down on their fishing. Yes, maybe the catch is slower but you must remember one thing … .. the last thing you want to do for bass in late fall is go very far: No matter what their bodies of water, the fish are quite similar in their habits. They do not care too much for open water and want to stay close to the wood, trees or rocks. Presentaion Methods Jigs, spinnerbaits, small crankbaits, like the Little N, are all good baits to use this time of year. Fishing pockets is also very productive. Remember to fish a spinnerbait by allowing it to sink under the tree and bringing it by the bulge of the big foot of the tree. Try using SuspenDots on crankbaits to catch those suspended fish. Fish the trees by points and the coves. Fish more slowly and do not run from place to place, rather, fish an area thoroughly. If you can find submerged trees where one end is in about 20 feet of water, make sure you fish it. Try deadsticking aSenko.worm. This method produces well for late fall largemouth bass, when fished slowly and if you let it set for a little longer than you think you should. Overall, the best method may be with a little crankbait and fishing submerged trees using a SuspenDot. Also fishing the points in fairly shallow water. Just because a lower temperature does not mean you can not have a good day of fishing, even if you have a cold front to go with it.http://www.the-fishing-place.com ...read more

Bass Fishing Tips
Fishing Tip (Bass Tips) – 3 Lures You Must Have Do you know what the top 3 lures for catching Bass are? Though there aren’t any specific statistics, a survey was conducted amongst the pro bass fishermen and it was found that plastic worms won by a large margin. Second and third place were the spinnerbait and then the crank bait. Picking one of these 3 is not enough, however. You must take into account the lake you are fishing on before you select your lure. Especially you must consider if it is better to cover a smaller segment of water thoroughly or skim across a larger expanse as quickly as possible to find fish. Using a worm is slower, but extremely effective and is very seductive toBass. They do best when the fish are schooled over a particular structure. Spinnerbait can be moved more quickly across the surface and can be bounced on the bottom, sent against a tree limb and moved in many different ways in order to stimulate strikes. It is a great probing lure for the shoreline because of its tangle-free construction. Crankbaits cover a lot of water in a hurry. Using them, you can check out a spot without wasting too much time. You can use them for locating fish that may be scattered. The bottom line is, whatever lure you select for the particular lake that you are fishing on, you need to make it as easy for the Bass to get at it as possible. Drop that lure right in front of them. Scientists have proven that Bass calculate the amount of energy it will take them to go after the prey vs. the return. Learn to fish all 3 of these lures effectively, and you will catch more than your share of big game Bass! Fishing Tip (Bass Tips) - When to fish for bass Dawn and dusk are definitely when the biggest bass can be brought in. First, remember that bass love ambush spots offering lots of cover from the baitfish. They like to hid, and pounce on their prey. ...read more

Night time Bassin
Night time Bassin While the world swelters in midsummer heat, a cult of night fishermen wait for darkness. The reward is a world many will never know, a world of dripping yellow moonlight and awesome blackness, of quiet conversation and sudden excitement, of blind battles with bruiser bass. Job schedules, avoidance of crowds, and fascination with the night world have kept some night fishing for bass for many fishing seasons. Few anglers normally find fishing through an entire night enjoyable or feasible. It takes a rigorous tournament timetable to make an angler forsake sleep and concentrate on maximizing his catch through a complete dusk through dawn cycle. Those all-nighters have revealed, however, that during summer nights, four distinct activity periods often occur. The Twilight Bite The first is the dusk bite, a widely recognized summer phenomenon that also occurs during the other three seasons. Bass use a sight advantage over prey species to feed. Top presentations have multiple sensory cues -- noisy, slow-moving topwaters like the Jitterbug or Spin-l-Diddee, or buzzbaits; chartreuse spinnerbaits in murkier conditions, or bulky worms and lizards rigged with rattles. In clear waters, twitching a minnowbait is hard to beat. The dusk feeding binge ends when twilight turns pitch black. Feeding by predators is minimal because the adjustment from day vision to night vision (called accommodation) requires at least half an hour. Within the retina of a bass' eye, cone cells that provide color vision in daylight are replaced by light-sensitive rods that must be protected from the sun during the day. Midnight Munchies A second feeding peak usually occurs within several hours after full darkness. Look for moonrise and moonset to be peak activity periods related to solunar factors as well as changes in light level. By this time, bass have moved away from thick wood or weed cover and tend to roam over open flats, hunting prey. Try shallow humps, points, islands, and shoreline areas. Swimming beaches also are hot spots. In addition to topwaters, big-bladed spinnerbaits are key tools as bass tend to feed upward. Colorado and Indiana blades thump strongly, producing attractive underwater vibrations. Lighted boat docks also draw insects, baitfish, and bass in the middle of the night. Fish the shadow edges as if they were shady spots in daylight, casting tubes, small worms, and plastic sticks like the Senko or Berkley Jerk Shad. The Late Bite At times, a sudden feeding frenzy occurs in the wee hours of 2 or 3 a.m., when most night anglers have departed and even veterans start to doze. Tournament participants report a brief bite lasting less than an hour. Look for this peak in the same areas where bass were feeding several hours after dark. First Light The final night bite is from first light until sunrise. If you've fished all night, you may miss sudden savage strikes on topwaters or light taps on worms through exhaustion. Daytime anglers should take advantage of this peak by reaching the lake before dawn. Bass typically have returned to cover edges though some remain in shallow pockets and open sandy flats, feeding during advantageous light levels. ...read more
