Nothing that anyone will ever notice. Hydro is mostly for peak demands unless they need to get rid of water. Then it's a bonus to the grid.

In my world, I'm happy about other people being happy catching .... whatever they're fishing for and having a good time doing it. Wherever they may be. It doesn't always have to be a 500 pound tuna or a 3 pound smallie or a first trout at Bennett. Have at world and enjoy what we have.

No charge? That doesn't seem fair to me for you. But if you make them look like NASCAR shirts only with boats instead of cars then OK. EVERYBODY needs to sign everybody else's shirt too. Not negotiating on that either. Count me in for a good new sharpie.

Pollock jokes are so 90's. Cod jokes are where it's at now.

100% agree Cody

They look like the normal ugly ones. But one thing is different. I've picked eight and pitched that many more this week. They still taste the absolute best. As late as I can remember getting anything other than green tomatoes to fry

uh oh Jigfest is in danger!

I fished vicariously through Field and Stream/Outdoor Life as soon as I could read. Asked for and got a spincast outfit for Christmas when I was nine. Rode my bike down to a little creek on the edge of town. Caught two bullheads. Took them back home and my grandmother helped me clean them and cooked them for my lunch. I don't think I have a sweeter fishing memory - and after searching the memory banks I'm sure. Thanks for a good topic Mr. Ness.

Well, you might guess that was the first thing I googled. Gotta look out for #1 you know.

They don't stop. So I'm sticking with no problem.

If government shuts down I won't be able to tell.

Fixed that for you. It was NOT cancelled, just held on a neutral field. Taneyfests came later as a copycat pale imitation of the real deals. I'm still calling this one Jigfest 13.

2013 = 1 2014 = 2 2015 = 3 2016 = 4 2017 = 5 2018 = 6 2019 = 7 2020 = 8 2021 = 9 2022 =10 2023 = 11 2024 = 12 2025 = 13 Arkansas public school math vs Missouri public school math. Let's go with Jigfest 13 what say?

Hey wait a minute I call you that with 100% love. It's a great character and a complementary nickname. But if it bothers you, no more buddy.

I've called you that behind your back like forever.😍

Dear Ham: You've told me more than once about how I earned my retirement and that I should enjoy it to the fullest. You were right. Now it's time for you to follow your own advice. You're smart enough that I do not doubt that you will. I wish you and your family the absolute very best for every day in every way. I trust you remember that we met at Jigfest # 1. I'll never forget it. Wrecked shoulder, no hat without Quillback's most welcome assistance and Fat Bastard dancing around on the deck. 🤪 Is there any way you can show up this year? Same time, same place. Your Friend, Rick

Hardly....

no rain here. but it's 48!

There are two completely identical separate sides in the bunkhouse. This weekend, there was a civilized side and the other side.

On average, it's a great year.

101 Sunday and 103 here yesterday. And then we nearly got rained on. Dropped 15 degrees in about ten minutes. Brutal.

It was for sure hot. Looks like you all made the best of it though. Nice trip. See you soon.

You win.

I knew before I opened it where this thread was going....

Wow what a read. Thanks
