Windows Moviemaker or something like that. It should be on your computer if you have a PC and Windows.

No- that's the only schedule speaking engagement in St Louis this year so far.

I wouldn't think this cold spell could warm 43-45 degree water down to mid 30's that quick. These cold spells just aren't that long.

Thanks for chiming in. I fished with a guy from Vermont once- John Merwin. he's writes for Field and Stream.

Dang- the toilet is worth half that. It's what I have in AK.

Sorry I missed ya... 8.5 - that places in most of our tournaments!!

I'd think there should be fish at the pothole. If you know how to fish it... crappie, a few whites and walleye. May be even a striper. Guys have been catching crappie for a month around K Dock and nothing said on the forum about it. So same might be said for the Pothole. Go try it and get back to us.

I don't think they know what they're going to do with it. But I'll ask someone who should know... just not sure he can tell me. We'll see.

They are raising hellbenders at Shepherd of the Hills Hatchery. Got their stock from NF of the White.

St Louis County Parks does seminars during the summer. I think this is one of their first scheduled. 7:30 pm I think it's $7 to get in. And I don't think they turn anyone away- never have. I don't get paid for it. They would cover my expenses if I ever turn any in... never have. I love doing it- it's a privilege. Bill Babler and Vince Elfrink will be with me. We're getting fingerprinted for our TWIC cards while we're up there.

http://lilleyslanding.com and look at availability for openings. We can't do one night on weekends UNLESS it's a walk-in. If you show up and we have a room, then we'll take it.

We'll have to hand out name tags so we'll know who's who.

We've all heard about affiliate programs... You really need to look at this. It's free and saves 2-5% and more on almost every store that's out there. Plus if you pay with a credit card that pays you cash back, you save that much more. You can order from WalMart and have it "shipped" to the local store and pay no shipping and pick it up there, most of the time immediately. Take a look at the list of stores- Bass Pro, Cabelas and many others. They list and offer specials all the time at different stores. Some places like restaurants.com sells certificates to big chain restaurants... Shorty Smalls sold $25 certificates for $1 but you had to buy $30 first before you got the $25... great for buying another couple dinner. Many other buys like that. It's free to sign up. Follow this link. Of course, OA gets a commission off anything you buy plus if you refer anyone to asile19, we get some of that biz too.

I have hats - $10.00 each. Email me lilley @lilleyslanding.com Jigs- I get them from a company in Arkansas. I have them on our online store. Green line. I think he's throwing a pointer.

Jeff- size depends on the amount of water running and wind. Could have used 3/32 but 1/8th was a little better. White has been the best color by far. You should do well. Oh yea- we quit fishing at 11:30 am. It was a short trip.

Bill and I are to speak at Queeney Park Wednesday night. We usually go fishing and take pics for the event the day or two before- and today was the day. Supposed to be cold tomorrow Water ran - I'd say alittle more than one unit. We got out about 9 am. Boated to the dam. Tossed jigs. I used a white 1/8th oz and Bill tried a sculpin, I think. For whatever reason, I caught quite a few rainbows and a few browns. He caught some too. Some of the rainbows in the pics are alittle small for the camera but they were pretty. And yes I did hold some of them out to the camera. Wanted to show off the fish and not the fisherman. We did real well fishing the bluff from Lookout down to Fall Creek. I actually was surprised at the size and quality of the trout caught.

Bill and I fished from 2 till dark today. The wind was tough- too tough to catch many fish but we did- Bill caught 3 nice crappie and I caught one nice walleye. Several shorts, small bass and small white bass. Most on swimming minnows and white jigs.

I've never used the notification option on the forum... I know a few others have had problems with emails. Anyone else? I'll look into it.

I'm sure Florida is #1- just can't find a BCS poll with the final standings.

I'm confused... http://msn.foxsports.com/cfb/poll?poll=BCS According to this, Oklahoma is still #1. Coaches poll has Florida #1 and looks more like I'd think it should be. Other sites don't even have the ranking updated since the bowls. Anyone know for sure?

Pictures are worth a thousand words... 4th place- Brewer and Horst 3rd place - Manske and Myers 2nd place - Heinz and Woodruff 1st place - Bridges and Dennis Big trout - nice brown AND rainbow Birthday Boy - Bob Allen

Hey Brian- I turned on the html option so you can embed the video right in the post. Just copy and paste the embed text and toggle the option below the text box. You still get full credit for views and such.

The fried crappie, whites and walleye sure were good!! Hope the fishing was better.

BASS announced today it has revamped the 2009 Bassmaster Elite Series, decreasing entry fees per angler by $25,200 for the season and introducing a two-event, no-entry-fee postseason. The postseason places an increased focus on one of the most prestigious awards in the sport, the Toyota Tundra Bassmaster Angler of the Year. Despite the reduced entry fees, the top finisher in the AOY race will take home $250,000 and the total payout will remain at more than $1 million. The postseason events will feature only the Top 12 anglers in the Toyota Tundra Bassmaster Angler of the Year standings, determined after the regular season. Each postseason event will receive one hour of ESPN2 television coverage and the entire Elite Series will receive 15 hours of original programming on ESPN2 in 2009. Anglers who reach the postseason will be provided with unmatched brand-building opportunities. The qualifiers will start the postseason with the AOY points that correspond with their standings among the Top 12, based on the regular season. The top qualifier heading into the postseason will begin with 300 points, and the rest of the field will receive points that correspond with the AOY points structure. The postseason will be scored with the traditional AOY points system. The postseason events will follow the culmination of the regular season, which ends with the Champion's Choice on Lake Oneida out of Syracuse, N.Y. That final regular-season event has been moved to July 30-Aug. 2. Dates and locations for the postseason events will be announced at a later date. With the announcement of the postseason, BASS has reduced its previously announced Elite Series regular-season schedule to eight events. The three events eliminated are the Alabama Charge (May 14-17; Pickwick Lake; Florence, Ala.), Cold Water Clash (July 23-26; Big Bay de Noc/Little Bay de Noc; Escanaba, Mich.) and the Empire Chase (Aug. 6-9; Lake Champlain; Plattsburgh, N.Y.). Click here to view the revised 2009 Elite Series regular-season schedule. The amended payouts for the Elite Series regular season can be found at Bassmaster.com .or by clicking here. The 2010 Elite schedule will remain as previously announced. "We have had a number of productive discussions with Elite anglers and various stakeholders and determined that much like everyone else in this challenging economy, our sport and anglers have been impacted," said Tom Ricks, vice president and general manager, BASS and ESPN Outdoors. "We feel this decision is in the best interest of the industry, our anglers and sponsors." The entire roster for the 2009 Bassmaster Elite Series will be released in the coming weeks and Kevin VanDam, 2008 Toyota Tundra Bassmaster Angler of the Year, was in support of the format change. "For the long-term health of the sport, this is a reasonable move," said VanDam. "Looking at the entire Elite Series field, this announcement is helpful and appropriate and it serves the industry, anglers and sponsors well in a challenging environment." "Bass fishing is not immune to this economic climate," said Tim Horton, Elite Series pro. "I've spoken with a lot of anglers and feel that this is the right move for the industry." The Elite Series regular-season tournament format will follow the 2008 model, with the top 50 anglers qualifying for the third day of competition and the top 12 competing on the final day. BASS will operate the Bassmaster Opens, the Women's Bassmaster Tour presented by Academy Sports & Outdoors, the BASS Federation Nation presented by Yamaha Outboards and Skeeter Boats and all other tournament programs in the same manner as previously announced. In other news, the Bassmaster Elite Series Marshal Program has resonated tremendously with BASS members. To date, the available slots for Marshals are more than 75% filled for the eight Elite events. With limited space available, BASS members are encouraged to call 1-877-BASS-USA to reserve a spot. Marshals who were registered for any Elite events that have been changed will be contacted by BASS. Any BASS member registered as a Marshal in the impacted areas will have the option of receiving a full refund or transferring his or her deposit to another Elite event that has available slots on a first-come, first-served basis.
