Prayers sent!

If I tell you what I use...I'd have to kill you.... Grubs are my "go to" bait when everything else fails. Green pumpkin or watermelon seed are my two go to colors. It's pretty hard to fish them wrong. Experiment using them. Right now I use Zoom's fat albert grub. Kind of playing around with a few others, but Zoom has always been good to me....even though their quality been kind of going down hill lately with 1-3 baits being disfigured...but even those messed up baits still catch fish...so I am not complaining.

Thought I pop in to wish everybody a Merry Christmas! Haven't been fishing much at all. My heart just isn't in to it this year. It's been a nice change to be able to go out fishing in Nov. and Dec. here in Texas instead of being stuck in the house up in Michigan...LOL. Sorry my northern friends.... Merry Christmas and Happy New Year's! God bless!

Good Luck and Speedy recovery!

Thoughts and prayers for your sister.

Philospher,banker and natural. I'm out to have a good time. I fished on shores so much that I've figured out just how to catch one when nobody else can. Aslo a natural,fishing just comes to me..... My wife probably left me due to part of my fishing habit.

Happy Birthday.

That orignated out of prison I believe....which is where most of them are headed for.

Waxahachie(ellis county) is a great place too.... My brother lives in Mckinney,but also a nice area and like someone mentioned it's #1 place to live. Mckinney traffic is bad though(least I thought it was). Waxahachie,you can pretty much drive 30 minutes or less and be in DFW or all the other surrounding cities. we are building up pretty fast out here as well. The schools are EXCELLENT here. Plenty of country around here and I doubt horses will be any issues. taxes are getting bad in DFW......As much as I like DFW area...I wouldn't really want to live there. I grew up in Dallas for the most part.

Whoa there's smallmouths in Texas?

Be careful what you say online man...... I feel your pain..My wife up and left me last month. I ended up going back to Texas with my parents. The pain was too great to deal for me by myself up there. I really didn't have a family support system there(basically didn't really know how to deal with it)....I love a lot of her family members there and still do. But I lost the only reason I went up there and that was her. Just remember though...Blood runs thicker than water. My sister in law told me that and she's been through 3 divorces(bad ones). She's been helping me understand. .

I'm close to 100...possibly more.....Never counted them to be honest.

my ex wife of recent deleted me off.... I need to do the same,just haven't gotten around to do it. No need to see their posts or vice versa. It'll just cause drama. I have a hard time deleting some of her family off though(because of my son)....soon as they start anything they are gone. I don't post on facebook anymore anyways. If you have a new person in your life,get rid of your exs. Leave the past where it is...in the past.

I'll be back for sure. Right now I just got to get things straighten out and do what i need to do. You guys have no idea how of a impact and support you have been in all your own little ways. It means more to me than you can imagine. I believe this will make me a better person in the long run...I feel that I already am. I thank you guys for all the advice. My parents have been a big help on the phone from TX . I truly do have have great parents and friends and I thank God for that every day.

I'm having some extreme personal problems. Wife left me and I've been an emotional wreak for the past month almost now. No reasons other than she just wanted to be "free". I never saw it coming. I've been prayer non stop since this has happened and just leaving this all to God.(sorry to get a bit religious here) I may not be back for a long while online. I just want to say thanks to Glenn for this board. I don't see myself staying up here in MI. for long. I'm here in the house by myself with no family support system.Walking into a dark house every night not being able to kiss my son or hug my wife has been like a sword into my heart. It's been one emotional roller coaster for me. I know it's not a great idea to air out personal business online,but this place has become somewhat a second place in my home. Just coming to read the silliness here has cheered me up in some ways. Maybe one day I can make the roadtrip someday to meet some of you guys. On top of all of that my computer has been overheating and not working right. I just don't see myself fixing it anytime soon. I want to say thank you to all the friends I made here. God Bless Matt
