Good Read Techo! I got a real chuckle out of it. Glad to hear you got the wife and son in on the action. Does not get any better than that!

[Gave The Stratos A Day On The Water]

Sounds like a good time Bill. I am sure it was nice to get the ol girl out.

[Any Info On The Rivers?]

I was down this weekend. No fishing all work. I do know it is muddy on Kings from just above Kings Rivermarina to at least Deer Bluff. Not sure how far the muddy water goes up the Kings. I did not see many heading up the river this weekend. Not much of a report but it is what I have.

[Congratulations To One Of Our Own]

Congrats Jeremy!

[Oaf Member? Look Here!]

Yep

[Holmer Sloan Result?]

Thansk Techo...looks as if we are lucky to have family memebers that will fish with us. Doesn't get much better!

[Holmer Sloan Result?]

Took my son for his first tournament. We did not do so well. He caught a nice small jaw that was 17 and 3/4 in. It only went 1.95lbs..?? He was thrilled. Caught it up the Kings of all places. We took it to the weigh in a little early so he was in the lead for 25 minutes.

Got to meet Mr. Babler and talk to him briefly at the dinner. Bill it was a pleasure to talk to you. What a nice guy. Congrats on cashing a check!

Looking forward to doing it again next year.

[Last Few Days]

Wont be there Friday for sure. Still a little up in the air for Saturday. Depends on the sons football. Good luck to you and the other Bill.

[Last Few Days]

Very nice K's Bill! Hope to see you down there Saturday. Are you going to fish the Friday get together?

[Saturday]

SR Nice pics. I am sure the boys had a blast.

Said I would report what not to do because the norm is what I do is not what should have been done.

I am not a jig fisherman but decided to give it a try and was able to come up with a few. Was dragging it slow on pea gravel and caught enough to keep it interesting.

[Homer Sloan]

Bill you are right on about the talent and that includes you. I have contributed to the Bill B college fund before.

I hope to meet some of you fine gentleman at this event.

Here is a link to the entry form.

By the way I am headed down this weekend so I will be able to post a report on what NOT to do come Monday.

[Homer Sloan]

Anyone planning on fishing the Homer Sloan Tourney? I am going to fish it with my son if he does not have Friday night football practice. it will be his first tourney.

[One Of My Best Days This Year]

Eric..Kudos to you as well. Sounds as if the Monday blues were left for those of us not fortunate enough to get on the water today.

[One Of My Best Days This Year]

Great job Bill. What a way to end the summer vacation or those boys!

[Where Did The Whites Go?]

Bill you are right. The Port Grill has real good rings. Sounds like the fishing has been a little rough lately. How is the new boat treating you?

[Strange Email]

Wow

[Next Week In Pre-review]

Thanks for the info Bill. I am not a big tournament angler but am going to introduce my son to his first tournament. The Homer Sloan first Sat of October. I can definitely relate to the difficulty of locating those early October fish. Thanks again for all the info you share.

[Strange Email]

Great pics Dan!

[Night Fishing]

Almost full moon and that always helps me and I can use all the help I can get

[Early Morning Upper End]

Techo..That is a real nice eye!

[May 13 - May 17 Report... Well Sort Of]

Tom,

Looked like a good trip.

[Whats Your Rig?]

Dave real nice boat

[Whats Your Rig?]

2005 champion. Used twice but this year when baseball is over it will get wore out. If you see it stop and say hey.

[April 18]

Nice day Techo!

[Trolling Battery]

Babler is right. I get mine there and sometimes they have blems that are cheaper and I have got 2+ years out of them.
