Check this out. Scroll about 1/4 way down and look in the blue box. I lists all rivers and lakes along with access points and species of fish. http://www.ncwildlife.org/fs_index_03_fishing.htm According to that, all of your smallmouth come from the Mountain Region. Still, some of those rivers may come close to you. I've caught smallmouth where I live on the Yadkin River between Forsyth and Yadkin counties.

Welcome from western NC! From what I hear, there are some huge fish coming out of Falls Lake. Good luck!

If you don't fish a sunken brush pile, the dude in the boat behind you probably will. Then he will take your tourney entry fee. If that's cool with you, I would be more than happy to take your money myself.

Remember, beer before liquor = couldn't get sicker. Liquor before beer = you're in the clear. Or you can be like any other college kid and ignore all rules. Congrats!

I'd probably bring some night crawlers along on your first trip; just in case. You wouldn't want to bore the kid his first time out.

I bet you could eat it in 20 minutes. That trip to Pal's last summer was the beginning of the end to my diet. I blame you for that. I weighed 213 when I came down there, now pushing 240. Fat boy needs to go on another diet again. ;D Every time I go to Johnson City I drive by 2 Pal's. I want to go in or at least have my picture taken so bad with that giant hot dog and hamburger but the girl never lets me.

There's a huuuge difference between working with your body and working with your head. Not many people can physically be a plumber from 18 to 55. Also take in to account that tradesmen don't get benefits provided. That will make you think twice.

Yes, just do a search. You'll find all you need to know there.

In before the lock!

Maybe he's with The Beast?

Hmmm.... Y2K again??? I ain't worried. I know where I'm goin'.

I don't know enough about all this to say whether it is, or isn't happening, but I do know that my grandma retired from the exact same company 30 years ago that my dad retired from last October and she is drawing double what he is. I just think that's crazy.

I think the best option here is to make your own! Oh, the joys of living in the moonshie capitol of the world...

I go home from school for some good cookin' but my parents are on weight watchers. How disappointing is that? But then again I guess its better than the rice and beans and Velveeta Shells that I eat all week...

Oh, and a tip... It helps if your hand is above the rim of the bottle, if that makes sense.

Does it has to be frozen? There one I cannot remember how it works, but the beer was frozen. We did it one night with success. I learn a lot of wonderful things in college. I've done this several times. It's quite amazing. It doesn't have to be frozen. Just be careful and smack the shirt out of it. It hurts like hell but the perfect circle at the end is worth it! Be careful though, I've managed to cut my hand before, and I also accidently did it in front of a security guard at an apartment where no glass was allowed.

Haha, Sam brought it up. Just like my point, y'all can't talk about anything other than the beloved football team. Is that a real fan???

Catt, you haven't seen our new stadium have you?? We are in the process of adding 4,000 seats. We set attendace records every game for 1AA football last year. I think we averaged about 40,000 in a town with a population of about 26,000 with a student population of about 16,000. Hippies can drink too! I'm no UNC fan, I just think it's funny the LSU fans are quiet.

Man, I just feel sorry for that Man Vs. Food guy. At least he will die happy.

Nice fish Nick! I would guess around 5 1/2 - 6.

Mike, have you seen on ESPN the new "no hit" rules they are trying to pass in the NFL? Is that really football? No, that is sissyball.

Welcome from the other end of the state!

I haven't heard any of the LSU "fans" comment on the whipping by UNC. Do y'all go off and hide when it ain't football season??? ;D

I never felt like I needed to try anything else after using Trilene 100%

Wow! A PB???
