  1. Ok, for some reason I thought I was further down the list, but it may not be a real problem. I will be out of town from oct2-oct11 for my step sons graduation from Marine Corps Boot Camp. I think Im ok for timing, but wanted to throw this out there for the group. Lemme know if you want to reroute me to be safe. I will understand. Anyway, just wanted to communicate. Thanks guys.
  2. These things are a blast! Really good for smaller waters with limited shoreline access, its brought a whole new level to my fishing. I wear a set of Chest Waders, that you cant see because of my life preserver. Wading boots and fins. They sell an awful lot of accesorys for these setups, but being part redneck, Ive found that light rope and heavy string work just as well as $20 rod leashes. Its certaily worth a look.

    Welcome!
  4. Spring through fall, I average probely 10 hours per week. Lately, thanks to the ENDLESS patience of my loving woman, its been closer to 18 to 20 hours per week. During hardwater season I try to get out twice a month or so, but it is not as important to me then. Remember to live up to your commitments to family, but take time for yourself when you can. God willing, you have a long life of bass fishing ahead of you.

  13. Well, its been a screwy year full of LOTS of dinks under two pounds for me. But I finally got a decent 4-5 lbs bass on a spinnerbait while float tubin' in Mazonia Illinois. Didnt have time to put her on the scale, she was outta the water longer than I like anyway.
