SPEEDBEAD.

I am pretty sure I have a meatball recipe sitting around here somewhere.... :

RW and Catt, Muddy called. He said the group bocce tournament starts in 10 minutes. He wants you to bring a few items. When he started to list them, this is all I got.... 1. Then I heard something that sounded like snoring..... and

I didnt say I catch anything, I just like how they look. It's like catching a little fish on every cast ;D

Tell ya what.... Let me know what you think when you are dodging Huds and Slammers in Kentucky next year. I'm getting pretty accurate with the Okuma. ;D

They are a great looking bait Robert. I got one of the male bluegills about two weeks ago. I spent most of the day at work waiting for the thing to flip off my desk. Completely sick bait. This thing is gonna put fish in the boat. Period.

Oh, no doubt some of the older guys have some money, yourself included. The only thing you have to remember is that since you are comfortable in your retirement villa, I dont think you want "it" as bad any more. There is nothing but unlimited drive and determination on our side. Your team, on the other hand, is severely limited by a lack of creativity, complacency and the cruel realization that your days at the top are numbered. Game on, sir. Bizz, nice "Clockwork" reference

I dont know what food chain you are speaking of. The one I belong to doesnt have pureed carrots at its apex. :

I grew up with Old English, except it had "800" after it ;D

I really hope you know I am joking around. Just me being me Your work on this is greatly appreciated Ronnie. I am sure that everyone who will be attending echoes that sentiment. No rush, just excited

Jim, glad to hear you are still hitting the waters. I still hope to someday hit the river with you once you feel able. Wayne

Please.....give me something. Anything will work. LOL I am already chomping at the bit to get down there. Hunting season just isnt holding my interest this year.

That would be the one, but the secret isnt the lake or the expansive lily pad area..... :-X

Moby and Sean....Give me a shout sometime if you are going to Cowan's. Its actually closer for me to go there than MG. There is also a small lake just up the road from there that you may not know about. I have hit it on the right day before and it is trully impressive. Unfortunately, other days not so much ;D

Your Wagtail isnt ruined, I hope you didnt throw it away. Boil some water and hold that bait in there, up to the eyes, for a minute or so. Then submerse the bait in cool tap water and the plastic should correct itself. For your box situation, go to Tackle Warehouse and look for Markey's swimbait boxes. Cheapest option for you. There are some specialty boxes (typically designed for musky fishing) that will cost you an arm and a leg, but are worth it if you have the baits to fill them.

I caught 3 and 4lb fish on the 9" I bought from Brokeju. I dont think I was sacrificing bites at all while using the bigger bait. Two of the fish were caught in RI if that helps you out. Glad you're stickin fish on it bro! Congrats. Where's the 10lber !? Remember, I live in PA....not CA

It aint just their lifestyles that are withering..... ;D I forgot more in that area than you have learned : After hearing stories of the toothless wonders you have left in your wake, I would try and forget a lot about "that area" as well.

...right after Murder She Wrote.... and don't forget "craft hour" I hear Long Mike is quilting Muddy a pair of drawers to cover up that crack ;D

It aint just their lifestyles that are withering..... ;D

Ok, lets try this then LOL I believe a heirarchy should be in place. I nominate Tin to be king, which would prospectively make Mother Hookem queen.....so by default, lil Hookem would be a prince? Is that better? ;D

LOL, man its the same stuff you heard from the people over on Swimbait Nation. Better lures out there for the money.

Fearless leader, might I suggest not referring to the team as "our men"? ;D

LOL, I saw the title and thought, "Great, another one who says that?" Welcome aboard!!

Yep Sam, you missed the bus for Team Depends. It comes around once per hour, so take your nap and someone will wake you up when it's there. ;D Matt, this will also be my last year for the team. I think I may forego to whole "head chopping and burning" though....

LOL, well then that would mean its a copy of the Rago Tool. :-X
