I'm here,
I will also be in FL in April.
I guess I just don't have much to say.

I'll have to admit that the cold weather sucks and I've been
praying for an early spring and, at almost every meal, I stare down
and analyze 6 fancy new baits I picked up on Ebay...:

Believe it or not, even though I sometimes don't post that
often...I have read or browsed (and sometimes deleted very quickly)
every message in this ROFB group since 1996.

But, if ya gotta know...here's what I've been thinking:

1. I didn't see the show on the BASS Classic with Mike Iaconelli
dancing or whatever and it doesn't bother me that I missed it.

2. For river smallies in the wintertime, I really don't prefer
tubes or grubs...but short straight-tailed worms like the centipede or
even craws...

3. I see a lot of people are using all kinds of fancy line out
there and I still am happy with Trilene XT (clear, not green) on my
baitcasters...

4. I wonder how long it would take me to take the split ring off
of all of my crankbaits to put Norman Speed clips on em...:

5. I really need to make a serious effort to fish with Brad
Coovert and/or Andrew Kidd this year.

6. IGFA's records have pretty much lost credibility with me...

7. I still like a 5'6" rod for most moving bait applications (ie.
cranking, spinnerbaiting, twitching)...

8. Suthern Transplant knows how it works and I wouldn't mind
getting shot at down in Louisiana or Florida about right now...

9. Free Underwear Elastic sounds a heckuva lot better than
anything than that Rodney character might be selling..

10. While a 50 yard wrist-cast (not downhill) might be
impossible...if Craig Baugher can wrist-cast 39 yards, surely I can
cast 49 yards...:

Right here. Mostly lurking - but I stick my head up and
post every once in a while (they've been responses to
various threads).

Been ice fishing some - caught a rock bass last Sat. A cousin
to the LM & SM - not huge - but it beat all the other fish I didn't
get that day.

Been scouting a small river I want to fish next summer - have a tip
that its holding SM. I assume theres some LM in its deeper, slower
spots as well.

Going to be in Orlando the week of Feb 8 (work related). Once I'm
done with the work part, I'm going to be hooking up w/ Doc on
Lk Okeechobee (sp?) for a couple days of LM fishing - weather
permitting, etc .

Later....

Ice fishing, eh? Guess a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.

Our waters are still clear and I still can't manage to get a day out. :-(
Enjoy Orlando and the Big O!

Hey Charles -- I still get in a lurk from time to time, but have been
incredibly busy opening a new restaurant. In fact, we got her going this
afternoon. Am hoping to see all you guys in Florida this spring -- especially
after not making it to Steve's Wisconsin do this past fall.

You're on Coop! Me and you at sun down. ;-) But seriously, I'll meet with
Jerry, Sean, or anybody the NG feels confidence in telling the truth and
snap off a few long range wrist casts for them. I'm really, really, really
good at it, and I'm modest about it too!

I can't wait to fish with somebody from the NG just to eliminate all the
hype. Come on Jerry, I begging, we have to fish a Angler's Choice, or SEMBA
tournament or two this year. We'll have a blast, win a little money, and
catch a lot of St. Clair or Erie Bass.
