I have that unit. I think it the greatest invention since sliced bread. As I said in an above thread, you are going to love the Terrova and i-Pilot.

W2S, you are gonna love that Terrova. I have the same unit. As for the HDS of any size, I'm saving my pennies. I've found that being a 64-year-old male prostitute doesn't pay very well. ;D

The worst guide I ever used was "Big Johnson" Thistlethwack, on Lake Fork.

IRONY. That's funnier than the video!

Yep, that one's been around for a long time. The classic bonehead boater.

I maintain two annual licenses - OK and TX. I fish LA, AR and MO regularly, but just buy a temporary license when I'm there. The same applies to whatever state the Road Trip takes me.

I use the glockschlinger knot. It has never failed and is exponentially stronger than any other knot. Since the "best knot" question has been asked umpteen thousand times, I decided to invent my own knot so I could post a response that would not be echoed by everyone else.

If you can keep the kids in the cockpit area, the Tracker TV-18 is a nice option. It has high sides in the very roomy cockpit and plenty of storage space elsewhere. No dual console, though.

I've checked out the website but that's it. Personally, I wouldn't even think of spending that kind of money; but then, I'm not rich.

Craig, pictures sent.

CKFishin, if you will PM with your E-Mail address I'll send you some photos.

Hey BL, did you foul-hook all of those fish or just the one on the right?

Oteymc, come on down!

Mickey, just got word today. Ghoti, Roadwarrior and I will be at Trophy Country the first week-end in October. Hope to see you there!

Mickey, those are outstanding results considering the time of year! I'm pleased that you guys enjoyed yourselves. I hope to meet you sometime in October, but the dates of the 20th-23rd are a no go for me. I will be fishing with my Cajun buddies at Toledo Bend.

Bite the bullet Bass XL! Ghoti and I are there at least three times a year! Awesome fishing and awesome scenery!

My old dog was seventeen years old. The night before he died he could no longer walk. Knowing that I was going to have to take him in the next morning and have him put down, I sat with him and wept. To my emotional great fortune, he died in his sleep that night. He spared me the torment of having to take him in and watch him die. Gawd, how I miss that old dog!

ATTAGIRL!!!

Wow! Toledo Bend in August! No wind, the lake smooth as glass, stifling heat & humidity, and billions of bugs at sunup and sunset! Now, that's my idea of a fun fishing trip - NOT!

Attaboy, Kent! Any comments about the Thumper vs. the Anaconda?

I've had the opportunity of speaking with a number of Elite series pros. To a man, they recommend Samurai braid.

Attaboy Blue Streak! Old Farts rule!

Happy Birthday Zero! Steez! GEEZ! WHAT A GREAT GIFT!
