As a recovering economist, I can tell you guys the ONLY way this thing is going to work is if people spend thier checks. Go buy some new rods maybe some shoes for the wife. GDP = C+I+G+X (consumption , investment, government spending, net exports). Times are hard right now, but they are going to get even harder if we don't increase spending. F.Y.I. we had positve economic growth the last 3 months so we are no in the big R yet---- Who would have ever thought that buys some expensive rods and reel would be good for the economy!!! Ps. I suggest the G. Loomis GL3.

You are a good man Mr. Lilley! Thanks for the site! I will share my information here. Fair is fair and I going to give to those who give to me. I wish everyone who "trolls" the site shared... we would have much much more information on the fishing.

I went down to Bagnell yesterday for about 4 hours in the afternoon. I ended up catching 16 crappie and 4 whites. The crappie averaged 10-12 inches with the biggest around 16 inches. The whites were really small 9 inch males. All of the crappie still has eggs in them. My fishing buddy caught 15 crappie and his fish were slightly larger probally 13 inche on average. All in all a great day. They are holding in 10-12 feet right on the bottom. TONS of shad in the area. 5 flood gates open and 4 or 5 units running. I don't generally tell people when I catch the crappie, but this site has been great to me so I'm going to break my code of silence and "share the love." Tight lines.

It's a hard sell to drive all the way down there right now with fishing on the ROCK blowing up right now. Might just have my brother come up here and I'll save enough money in gas to add another G.LOOMIS to my rod collection.

Thanks!

My brother lives in Dallas and I have been wanting to drive down and visit with him. Has anyone ever fished Lake Fork? I've been reading some websites that mention the HUGE bass that live there. Is there any truth to the rummors? Will my usual Ozark bass fishing tactics work down there? I figured since it's further south the spawn might be a month eariler. 6 hours is not that bad of a drive for an 8lb. bass!
