I saw that show, I agree catching those hogs on a top water would be a hoot.

Some nice quality bows there, thanks for the report!

I watched about 5 minutes of the guy in the video - "That river has miles of land around it, MILES!!". No kidding...

"Set off a record ice storm" - man, that's funny! That's one of the things that keeps me from making the trip, not so much ice storms, but I hear that the wind can really blow at Fork and blow for days.

Makes you wonder if these guys even listen to their coaches anymore, and I'm not just talking about Mizzou, just seems like the disciplinarian type coach, a Bob Knight for example, is vanishing from the college game.

When I was looking at boats, I talked with a fellow who had fished the B.A.S.S. circuit and was a life long TR fisherman. He loved to fish tubes - that's what got me started on them. I have fished some Dry Creek 3 1/2" tubes, single walled, they have a color they call "Mud", kind of a cross between GP and brown - I've picked up fish on it. TW doesn't carry that color, you have to go to the Dry Creek website to get it. This is an interesting looking product they have just come out with for shakey heads. Long, skinny tube. I'm thinking maybe put a piece of Styrofoam in tube near the tentacles and get a nice stand up effect. http://www.drycreekoutfitters.com/product_p/590-dc.htm

I wouldn't worry about trying to be as good as the guys who weight the 20 lb. sacks, unless you want to be a tourney fisherman (and be competitive). Get out, fish, and have fun.

I keep thinking that one of these days I'm going to get down and fish Fork.

Watched some of that LSU game last night, good game as far as it being competitive, I was hoping Mizzou could pull it out, but it didn't happen. I don't know if it's me, but it seems these days college BB teams are so undisciplined.

So many ways to rig a tube, so little time... I watched a "Hook and Look" show a couple of weeks ago, they fished Bull last spring and were tossing the tube, stupid rigged, on spinning tackle. They have a diver doing some underwater filming, and they were showing the smallies come up and grab the tube as it was falling through the water. Pretty neat to see.

Good idea, I'll give it a shot next time I'm out.

They need to figure out how they're going to call those pick plays, if they are going to allow WR's to get away with that kind of stuff, then they should let DB's layout WR's as they come across the middle. (Before the ball is in the air).

I'm not a bettor, mainly just interested to see what the line is. It will be interesting to see how this game is officiated, I expect it to be physical, especially the match up between Denver's receivers and the Hawks DB's. The refs are either going to clamp down right away, or let it slide. They're going to have to walk the fine line between keeping things under control or turning into a flag fest. Nobody wants a flag fest. My bet is a physical game.

Just when I start to think that I've got a pretty good sized stash of fishing stuff....Good idea on the peg board.

Very nice fish! Yeah I would not have thought of throwing them this early either.

I do get hung up every once in a while as you can imagine.

Welcome!

Very nice!

Went out today and fished Goldilocks hours, 10 AM to 3 PM. Water was dead flat calm until 1 PM or so, then the wind started to pick-up. Picked up a few off a brush pile in 20 FOW, a couple off a steep chunk rock bank, again out in the 20 foot range. A couple of random ones off deep trees - ended up with 7 bass, 6 of them LM's and a solitary spot. Slow dragging a tube got my fish, did throw a jerker for a bit, but no bites on it. Water temps were 40-42, water up in the Big M area has a greenish stain, looks like a plankton bloom to me. Looks like we're going to get yet another cold blast, grrrrr.....

Good stuff!

Yeah the Seattle owner (I think it is still Paul Allen) should put those refs on his Christmas list. That missed fumble call on the goal line was the worst, even though it worked out for SF. The guy was laying there with the ball, no one near him, how the heck did they miss that?

Yes it will be an interesting matchup. What concerns me more is Seattle's offence. They were just flat out inept in the 4th quarter. Their receivers can't get open (they really need Harvin back). I don't know what happened to Wilson's scrambling ability, but it seems to have vanished the last several games they've played. The offensive line leaks like a sieve. It will be interesting to see what the Vegas line is, but I have to believe Denver is favored.

Another great video!

Thanks for the report, always interesting to read about fishing those TX lakes.

I haven't tried those Warthogs, as I saw so many reviews where people said they were crap.
