Sorry Long Mike, Mine would look like a 'Hangmans Noose'. By this time tomorrow Ken and I should be about 175 miles closer to the "FORK". Y'all have a safe trip. I am looking forward to seeing the members I met last year and meeting new ones face to face. We will try to save a Share Lunker for y'all. After Ken and I catch ours we will scout for more for you. Will have the GPS points marked and have a lottery for them. SEE YOU AT FORK Kelley

D*mn Matt it is good to see you back on here. Hope to see you at Fork. Kelley

I have one of the Origanal Stearns. There are several on the market. I wear mine all the time if I am fishing by myself. Kelley

Ck out the Stick Jacket. Brad Covert here on the forrum has them for sell. A little more pricey than most but are awesome. Kelley

X 10 for me. Looking forward to meeting you Avid. Kelley

Welcome Keri. I too am looking forward to meeting you and Glen at Fork. Kelley

Welcome Blaine. I learn something all the time on this site. Kelley

Thanks RWH. Go get'um. Be safe on your ride down there. Looking forward to hearing about all the biguns. Kelley

I'm in if I can wait till I get back from Fork to send my lures to the person I am paired with. I did 2 last time and will again if necessary. I will be leaving for Fork on 3/16 and returning on 3/23. Can probably ship around 3/26-27. Kelley

1/2oz black/blue jig blue trailer, 1/2 and 3/4 oz rattletrap, red. orange, craw, 1/8oz T-rig lizzard, watermelon/red. 1/2oz double willowleaf spinnerbait, white, white/chartruse. Go get the RW. I will be calling you for a update. Kelley

Use a jig as the weight and you have a 3/way rig.

WHAT!!!!!!! You got in your new boat with SHOES on? :-/ :-/ :-/

Looking forward to receiving on in a couple weeks. Kelley

Has Russ eloped without telling any of us. I thought we were all Pards. :o Kelley

Looks like a dead heat at this point. Merc 7, Yama 7, Ev-rude 6. Looks like none of the top 3 manafactuers ar going out of bussiness. Kelley

I'm in also. Remember to allow for those of us that are going to Fork. Kelley

I am closer to 76yrs than you are Russ. Does that mean I quaify to be the angler for this fish? Kelley

I use a small file with a plastic handle. I got mine from Janns Netcraft but there are places to get the cheaper. Kelley

What Gman said X 2. Kelley

Dink told how to do it on a Spinnerbait. Make the skirt with a skirt collar, slip on jig, tie with wire, cut or slip off collar. Kelley

That is starting out posting with a "BANG".

I apologize RW for taking it the wrong way. I have had people question my relationship with Billy over the years. Again I am sorry. Guess got up on wrong side of bed this morning. I will bring some of my NOS lures to Fork. Bass Mag. had a write-up in Feb 2000 on the Marabou Spinn. Did not mention my name but gave my Co. name(TOP SHELF LURES) and phone number in E. KY. Forgive me for any misunderstanding on my part. Kelley

RW, I am sure I have a picture somewhere around here. If you call Horse Creek Dock and talk to Jack he will verify Billy and my relationship. Ask him about the guy from Kentucky that made the MARABOU SPINN. I just move here to IL from Eastern KY 4 years ago. I will bring what I find to Fork. What reason would I have to LIE? Kelley

Loomis GLX MBR783. I own 2 and if i could have only one rod this would be the one. Kelley

Also a thread go on the Smallmouth area of Forrum.
