Looked like a healthy batch of crappie Simp...wouldn't take many of them to make up a supper!  I would have loved to have given them a shot 2 years ago but I didn't have the right gear along.  Besides, I was too busy learning how to use a shakey head!

I'll be down from Friday until Tuesday. I'll have 1-2 spots open in my boat for several of those days, should anyone need a spot.

Looking forward to meeting you!!

LOL. Awesome. 

Trying to arrange the trip. I noticed while poking around on Google Earth, there's a BPS on hwy 641 in Benton, KY. That looks like around 8 miles from Moor's.  RIGHT on the way in.

I think I'll buy a ownership share of that store just before you (hopefully WE!!) get there.

That's strange, as it doesn't show on the BPS website.  Let's hope for my budget's sake that it's only a BP gas station!   ;D

Most likely an outlet store.  There's a new place open now in Benton, Ky called Fisherman's headquarters.  Doesn't look too far from moors, and I think they will have a better selection from what I've been told.

I guess you're right about it being an outlet store, as I see that BPS is listed with it's google address too.

Not sure how new it is, but there was a link to a real estate advertisement showing the place was for sale.  Maybe the place has new owners now.  Lots of pictures of the inside of the store though, it looks like they have tons of goodies.

My trip map says it is just over ten miles from Moor's.

They just reopened a month or so ago under new ownership.

CJ took me there when I visited a couple of months before the roadtrip. It's an awesome store!

Yup, Fisherman's HQ is one of the best tackle stores you'll find anywhere.

134 and counting.

Any of the suits know if Big O is coming?

Suits? 

Yeah, suits.

I don't wear a suit, but I can confirm that Big-O is coming.  He will be rooming with RW and me.

This makes me afraid, but I don't know who I am afraid for !!!  ;D

Deb and I both work part time at Fisherman's Headquarters. GREAT store .... has all the usual stuff that you migh wand plus a lot of things that you just don't find everywhere ..... Megabass, Black Dog Baits, Rago, Power Tackle, and on and on ....

Plus, we are working on a discount for Roadtrip attendees !!

Sounds awesome Greg!  Thanks for all you do.

Man, I haven't worn a suit since...oh....wow.....thinking...1980-sumthin.  I don't even own a suit.  ;D

Bunch of slugs...

Guys, you won't be disappointed in Fisherman's Headquarters! John bought the store in July. It had been closed for 8 months or so. He also does seminars on electronics and has offered to come down to Moors and speak to the group and answer questions. Believe me, he is an EXPERT!

We are in the middle of remodeling. Adding stock like crazy. Greg and I unpacked 19 boxes of tackle in the last two days!!!

and.....yes, we are working on a few surprises for the group

Deb, now your just out and out being a tease!

oh well.......

oh well.......

That's what I thought  ;D

Does anyone besides me know what company used these words in their theme song for a television program? And, what was the name of the program?

No fair googling.
