My last trip before I head back to Iraq

Featured Replies

 Well guys, I went out to the same spot I took pics of before for one last trip before I head back over on Saturday.  The lake was white capping and it was supposed to storm so I was afraid that I was gonna have trouble in the shallows.  Well it never stormed, and I flat wore them out!  I caught between 15-20 fish in a 4 hour time frame, all but one on a cavitron buzzbait.  I had probably a 2 pound average with all of them too, a couple a little better and a couple dinks mixed in too.  Like a genius I left my hardbait box at home, and I really woulda loved to have been throwin a spinnerbait, but I did pretty well.  I didn't take the camera cuz I was farther out in the water and it probably would have gotten wet.  You guys that fish Kentucky lake need to hit them bays up in the grass when the sun is just rising.  They're schooling big time!!!  It was a pretty awesome trip to end my leave on, and I had a lotta fun.  About 4 months and I'll be on 'em again...they need a break here and there ya know ;D  Sorry I ain't got no pics of this trip but I figured I report anyway.

Glad you enjoyed it man, take these last four months and be careful man, I got 5 left over here in afghanistan, I am now the bn s-4 ncoic, so I am off of the roads man, thank god.  I get promoted again 1 oct so u know we are going to have to celebrate my promotion and yours by going to the lake.  Hey I want to hit that sopt with you, but I am terrified of jake(snakes) did u see any in there with you.  If you can convinve me there is no jakes i'll be happy to step in the lake with you.  Watch your 6, remember,  complacity is what gets most people on the way home, stay aggressive and trust nothing, if u didn't put it down don't pick it up.

See you in a few months ;D

 I have been out to that spot many times and I have never seen a snake Shannon, so you'll be fine I promise.  I look forward to getting back home again in a few months and I also look forward to seeing ya'll in '09 on Kentucky Lake for the road trip.  You can bet I'll be there!  I can't wait!

mybe you'll be back home soon with the elections coming up :-/

I am glad that you had a good day on the water.  Congrats on the promotion.  Welcome to the NCO Corp!  Stay safe and get some rest.  Will you be going to WLC as soon as you get back?  If you do not know, that is something you might want to check out.  It sucks when you have been gone so long, then as soon as you get back.  They want to send everyone to school.  Either way, take it easy and be safe.  PCI's & PCC's, do not forget!!

I ain't goin to WLC as SOON as I get back but it will be soon.  Probably after block leave some time I imagine.  I've been in long enough to know about the schools trust me.  Anyhow, dinner's callin...I just grilled some burgers.  Got my last drink o' rum n' coke for the next 4 months and I'm enjoyin my family.  It's been a good one.  My new baby daughter loves me to death and I got a good outing on the water with my 6 yr. old too while I was here.  Can't wait to see ya'll in April on Kentucky Lake!!!

Good read man. Love to hear about buzzbaits. Be safe. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SERVICE TO OUR COUNTRY! Its men like you that allow us to do what we choose. We are forever grateful
