I will arrive Thursday, possibly with DJ's crew. I will bring toasted Ravioli, and a second fryer, along with oil. Anyone is welcome to use it.

Eric, this was last year's thread. Be glad to be a taste tester just the same.

I'll take the swim baits.

@Johnsfolly tell Livie congrats for me. That is awesome. And good job to you Dad.

I don't fish Bull, but thought recent reports say it's been flooded? Good to see you post just the same.

Ellis Battery in Arnold, Jeffco, has blemished batteries for less expense than non blemished. I'm told the only difference is the packaging, the usefulness is the exact same. I've bashed my head over and over about batteries and value. I read it somewhere that we spend $x.xx on lures, $xx.xx on equipment, $xxx.xx-$x,xxx.xx on motors and more on boats. What is the problem with around a hundred for a battery that will make or break your day to use all of the other equipment? I now just buy a battery from a reputable seller, keep it for about 3 years, replace. I dont want my day ruined by a battery.

The camera seem nice in clear water. Heck, clear water seems nice. Lol.

Interesting casting technique.

I don't know if it should be deemed a failure from the results of the first event. The amount of people who attended seems lower than I expected, but I just dont believe the event should be cancelled. Olliefest generally has 2 attend, but it still goes on every year

Happy birthday Ness. Hopefully you are able to enjoy your day.

If so, the mail carrier ate them. LOL.

@JestersHK, unjust may take you upon that. I plan on going Thursday myself. If we got too many, I can drive and carry a couple myself.

I'm in 3 nights

If that is an offer, I accept.

I'm pretty open. I have vacation time available also. Just need a boat seat.

That whole experience looks like fun. The group of friends, the water, the fish, the scenery, yes.

Got some micro fish on it today. I caught many more. Had a decent sunfish hooked, he was really light in color, washed out like cold water would do. But this water is not nearly that cold. I didn't get to land him. It was a neat fight. My hookup ratio was not as good as when I use a piece of nightcrawler, or redworm. This was the "leg" of a trout magnet. Many people claim color has no affect on fish. Well, I started with chartreuse, finally lost it, went to a washed out pink. I did not catch nearly as many. I went back to chartreuse, next three casts, in the same hole, caught fish.

Few from this evening. Love that rod bend. It was not on a snag. The fly is a micro from Lilley's Landing. It.was the smallest I've seen. 256th oz if I remember right.

Happy birthday, Jeff. Hope you were able to enjoy your day.

@Seth lol

I know, go BIG or go home. That was my motto when I was skateboarding. I have been really enjoying the smaller guys, and I can catch more. I have been fishing smaller creeks with lots of brush, need to be able to climb through and bushwack so a smaller profile in and out will be a great improvement. I bought a sling pack to be my tackle holder. To my benefit, it has a hike that holds the tenkara rod when condensed.

It works. Little longer than I had originally imagined, I will use the extras for a smaller telescoping micro fishing rod. I wrapped it crudely with an unused shoe string. I haven't caught a fish on m uh micro unit, but did on the Tenkara rod. I am in no way trying to be a traditionalist in the way of Tenkara. I just wanted a rod to catch smaller fish in smaller water. this seemed to fit the bill.

Thank you nick. I bought the one you linked. I will be trying it this evening. I really like the fact it came with extra top sections. I may just use the top 3 segments for micro fishing. Pretty excited about my new toy.

I've seen it on the way to Little Rock, on 67 in at least one gas station. I'm a Bud Light Hoosier. Just gotta support AB.

Reel seat between indes and middle fingers. I now reel primarily with my left hand. Cast with the right. I reeled and casted for years with my right hand only. Played cast, switch, close, reel. Now, it's a lot smoother.
