Does anyone remember The Adventures Harry 'n' Charley of B.A.S.S. fame? "BASSers have the best lines" Harry's Law 1: "I knew the 'preppy' craze had got outa of hand when I seen a alligator playin' golf with a li'l MAN on his shirt"

:grin: :grin:

LOL,LOL, I think it's spinning into the ground......

Outstanding job :respect-059:

George W. Bush and Barack Obama somehow ended up at the same barber shop. As they sat there, each being worked on by a different barber, not a word was spoken. The barbers were even afraid to start a conversation, for fear it would turn to politics. As the barbers finished their shaves, the one who had Obama in his chair reached for the aftershave. Obama was quick to stop him saying, 'No thanks, my wife Michelle will smell that and think I've been in a whorehouse.' The second barber turned to Bush and said, 'How about you sir?' Bushreplied, 'Go ahead; my wife doesn't know what the inside of a ***** house- smells like.'

UPS Airlines Just in case you need a laugh: Remember it takes a college degree to fly a plane, but only a high school diploma to fix one; a reassurance to those of us who fly routinely in our jobs. After every flight, UPS pilots fill out a form, called a 'gripe sheet,' which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The mechanics corrects the problems, document their repairs on the form, and then pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight. Never let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of humor. Here are some actual maintenance complaints submitted by UPS pilots (marked with a P) and the solutions recorded (marked with an S) by maintenance engineers. By the way,UPS is the only major airline that has never, ever, had an accident. P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement. S: Almost replaced left inside main tire. P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough. S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft. P: Something loose in cockpit. S: Something tightened in cockpit. P: Dead bugs on windshield. S: Live bugs on back-order. P: Autopilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200-feet-per-minute descent. S: Cannot reproduce problem on ground. P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear. S: Evidence removed. P: DME volume unbelievably loud. S: DME volume set to more believable level. P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick S: That's what friction locks are for. P: IFF inoperative in OFF mode. S: IFF is always inoperative in OFF mode. P: Suspected crack in windshield. S: Suspect you're right. P: Number 3 engine missing. S: Engine found on right wing after brief search. P: Aircraft handles funny. S: Aircraft warned to straighten up, fly right and be serious. P: Target radar hums. S: Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics.. P: Mouse in cockpit. S: Cat installed. P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a midget pounding on something with a hammer. S: Took hammer away from the midget.

X2 Also, follow the creek channel, and look for any feeder streams, or washes,entering the channel. As you probably know, the females will return to deepest water in the area to recuperate from the spawn.

Mike, How are we doing on rooms, also? If some needs to share a room in order to make the Road Trip I can change from a single room to a double if need be. Female roommates preferred

Lets go with the 24th P.S. "60 ain't so bad" - Just keep movin', it's all down hill from here.....

I have room on my boat for the 25th, 26th & 27th.

Ya, I like these. I currently have Dodge Ram logo tail light covers, but I have to replace the right side because of a broken lens. Their only $40.00 but it'll cost a great deal more to have them painted. Personally, I would like these made out of smoke grey plastic, like black-out covers. Then when the lights come on you get the full effect of the light with the bass as the brightest subject.

X3 With that said, IMHO, Bass will retreat to deeper water ( the deepest water in the area, also called sanctuary) when a cold front moves through, their seeking the safety of deeper water from the changing weather or light. Check a topo map of the lake and look for a migration rout that leads from deep water to the shallows, i.e. a feeder stream, a wash, or some bottom formation, like a point or bar that the bass use to find their way from deep water all the way to the shallows. The route should have some kind of structure/cover along it, i.e. rocks, wood, weed, man made, etc. I'm not trying to be smart here, but you don't say how your fishing, on a boat or on foot; or the type of lake (man made reservoir or natural, highland, lowland, or flatland), it matters. From a boat, start working the shallows, then work your way deeper and deeper. They'll be somewhere along this migration route between the deepest water in the area and the shallows.

I found that a new work assignment which entailed extended periods of international travel wore me out both physically and mentally, and took me away from everything I took for granted, family, friends, hobbies, home responsibilities. So when I was home I made the best of the time I had. Spending a day on the water dropped lower and lower on the list. I eventually stopped fishing altogether from about 1998 through 2009, and I sold my boat. That was a big mistake.... But, with retirement, I'm back to being able to relax while on the water and not worry about other things I should be doing.

My first big embarrassment was many, many, many, years ago. I had unwittingly invited two girls out for the same night. The problem was they were good friends and saw each other every day at school. The day before the date they both showed up at work for some small talk; then one asked what time was I picking her up for our date, when I answered the other girl asked "then when are you picking me up?" Right then and there it hit me, and they knew it too. They stood there with a smirk on their face's watching me start to sweat and turn bright red. Well, after some of the fastest talking I had ever done, they decided to flip a coin to see who got me. Believe me when I tell you that was the longest, coldest date I'd ever been on. There were digs on top of digs about what I had done, I was grass and she was the lawn-mower. At the end of the night, I got my date to her front door to say good night (I thought this would be our last date) and she laid one on me that made me melt. It was then I knew everything would be OK. That girl has been my wife for 40+ years now, and she is still putting up with my forgetfulness.

I already have my lawyer and financial adviser on stand-by 1. Form a team = Attorney, CPA, independent CPA oversight manager, FA to handle all paperwork. 2. Give the wife half,, no questions asked. 3. fly to Flippen, AK to watch my new boat being built, hit local dealerships for a tow vehicle, hire someone from Ranger to lake test the new boat and show me how to REALLY handle the power and Bling. 4. hit every lake I came to for a week or two, eventually working my way back home. 5. By a new home on the best Bass like I could find. Any suggestions??

Well? What's ya think?

Good one, LOL, LOL, You trying to make me feel old, I had to get my magnifying glass to read this one...

:laugh5:

Now that's tradition I like the black edging on the letters, nice touch.

Your number doesn't have MA for a state code?

LOL, LOL,,,, OK you can have it....

For fishing? Sure

Congratulations on the new girlfriend...... I like a lady in red...... I bet she could go all night long if you asked her.... Looking forward to checking her out.

I'll be arriving the afternoon of the 21st. I'll have my Ranger 185VS with me; I don't have a co-angler as yet. My boat has two pro-poles and one fishing seat; if anyone has a Ranger 2003 style fishing seat (hopefully gray) they don't use or want, bring it with you and maybe we can work a deal. Thanks to "Siebert Outdoors" I now have a complete set of Guntersville Navionics maps, plus I downloaded some USGS maps of the area before the lake was made. So, for my half of each day I'll be fishing some preselected spots, the other half of the day it's up to my co-angler to pick. We'll flip to see who goes first. Also, I don't have a room mate. Right now I believe I have a single with a king bed, don't know if we can change at this time or not. If you need to room mate with someone PM me and we'll see what we can work out.
