Went to the dog park ponds in Shelby Farms Saturday. Caught 4. One on a Green Pumpkin baby brush hot on a shakey head and the rest on a blk and blue craw texas rig. Also found a Sexy Shad Super Spook walking the bank hooks were rusted off but the split rings were S/S so they were still good and it cleaned up nice with a brillo pad looks barely used now.

Last year I got one of last years models of Chronarchs before they came out with the new model for for $199 normally $279.99 at Bass Pro the day after Christmas. But you gotta make sure you get there early cause Usually there's only a few and they go fast on any good deals on a Shimano Reel.

Kent, How was Texas?

maybe next year we should try to get the word out across lots of forum subjects.

Been Fanning a bed I see.

Roadwarrior you can fish with us thursday if you dont mind fishing 3 to a boat. I want to chase some smallies anyways.

Nice! Come say hello my buddy has a bad elbow so we will only be fishing for a few hours in the morning and maybe the evening too so we will be around during the day.

Downunder dont you worry we will get you on some fish. May is a little muggy temp wise but its still a good time to fish.

I can fish some evenings but mostly on weekends. It all depends on if there are any honey do's around the house when I get home. As to Pickwick I was talking about the trip at the end of the month.

Man I wanna come fish with you guys. I got to fish with Dan at Beech as your temp. Man I wanted and tried to get him on a fish but they just wouldn't cooperate. Also at Pickwick your more than welcome to come fish with me for a day. My buddy Jeff said he wouldnt mind going out with someone else for a day too. To help us learn more of the lake.

My buddy caught this one last saturday when we went to Horseshoe but haven't been pond hopping recently.

Really? I thought there would be alot more of us. Who is Road warrior boating with?

Went to Neshoba the other day my buddy caught 5 bass 2 in the back pond through the trees on the back side and 2 on the main pond. I landed about a 13" Black Crappie on the back lake and got me a little square bill out of a tree that someone left in it.

That's It?

Man it was tough out there Skeeter Dan and I only got one fish outta 5 that was 14.5" and the rest were under 12.

You could always come for the weekend or a day!

Is anyone else besides Road Warrior going to the Bass Resource pickwick trip at the end of May?

Camp Site reserved! I'll be at site #19 if anyone wants to come by. I rather pay the 20 a night for a camp site than 70 for the motel. Hope to see you guys there!!

Is there anyone in the Memphis/Southhaven greater area that does custom lure painting?

Wouldn't hurt to go talk to Gator then.

I've repaired a few rods in the past of my own. It's pretty easy just take your time lining up your guides and doing the wrap. Just gotta make sure you use the right type of thread with the right diameter. And as far as sealing it slow curing 2pt epoxy works good just put it on with a small soft brush while slowly rotating the rod. also a Rod jig for doing your thread rotating on is actually pretty easy to build you can even build one out of cardboard. just be careful when taking off the old guide. you have to use a lighter to brittle the thread sealer so you can cut the threads off of the blank. Too much heat with the lighter and you can weaken your blank which will cause failure later.

Alright I just put in for the time off at work. My buddy and I will be there 4/26 to 4/30 but we will be in the campground. Still have to reserve our camp site.

Are there Hook ups at the Inn to recharge your batteries over night?

I got a boat. What lake are you talking about? it sounds private.

I think I will try to make it there since I live in Memphis and bring my boat but will probably tent camp.
