Don't worry about sending me any dough, we'll get it when you get there. Yeah, wouldn't hurt to bring your cot if you want. We should have a better idea of who is staying hopefully within a week or two. There is also the bunkhouse, which sleeps 4, runs about $500 for three days. We can rent that out if needed and lump all the cost into one sum and split it. If we get say 16 or so, we may want to get the River Villa.

Sorry to hear that, tough way to end the day.

OK, just talked to Michele, we have Cedar Gables booked from 2/28 - 3/2, leaving on 3/3. Total cost is $950, not sure exactly how many are staying there, but I think 8-10, so probably looking at $100 - 120 per person. I have the following list of stayers: GotMuddy Myself Little Red Zigjigman Jesters HK and BrandonFMC John's Folly? Terrierman and possibly another Ham? Wounded one? The BH?

Sounds like some good fishing, thanks for sharing the results.

I think he did also, made some pretty strong throws off his back leg. Strong arm for sure. Mizzou play calling at the end of the game was a head scratcher.

Welp, looks like it won't be quite as cold as they were saying a few days ago. Still too cold for me. If anyone can post the results here, please do so!

That Oregon kid is doing Locke a big favor, NFL pay structure for rookies is based on where you get drafted. Surely a head scratcher as to why that Oregon kid wants to stay another year, he was projected to be drafted ahead of Locke.

I just might watch that game, be interesting to see how Locke does, he's projected to be the first QB taken in the draft now that the Oregon QB has committed to playing another year at Oregon.

St Croix Premier series has some shorter pistol grip rods. BPS has a few models, ST Croix website has the whole series. Reasonably priced with a good warranty. I don't have any Premier models, so I can't offer any experience with them. You can call St Croix and I bet they will give you the lowdown on them.

Thanks my friend for thinking of me, but I am off sugar for the most part. My blood sugar is too high. I have a craving for some fudge, but not going to do it.

I bet that pudding is tasty, but should be called "Sugar with nuts and dairy products", LOL. I love fudge but have tried to stop eating it as it is basically sugar with butter and chocolate.

Very nice! With that wind and it being cold, I didn't even think of going fishing yesterday, but looks like the crappie loved that weather.

I'm due to get a new pair myself - doing a little research and I came across this: You may wonder why there is such a significant difference in the price of polarized sunglasses and if the extra cost is worth it. Glasses can be inexpensively polarized by attaching the film to the outside of the lenses. Two factors make this method less desirable. The film will eventually peel away from the lens; it’s just not as durable. Also, precision placement of the film is crucial. If it’s placed off the vertical axis some polarizing powers will be lost. Higher quality, higher priced glasses feature lenses with the polarizing film sandwiched between lens layers, encapsulating it. Placement is aligned exactly for optimum performance. This process results in superior clarity, better peripheral vision, and lasting durability. I have had the lenses with the film on the outside, you have to be careful not to leave them on the dashboard on a hot sunny day as it can damage the film. Next pair I will definitely be asking whether the film is on the outside or sandwiched between the lens layers. My guess is most of the premium priced glasses use the sandwich method, but I would certainly check beforehand.

Or cloned himself..

If the weather forecast is accurate, it's going to be a true "Polar Bear".

Looks like bass to me.

15-20 is not a bad day. Seems like 2 weeks ago they were starting to move in, but now they seem to be backing off.

Wouldn't be a bad idea for a reality show, start off with a bunch of contestants, each doing forecasts for their local area, say a week out, narrow it down on a weekly basis to an eventual champ. Might seem boring, but look at the success of the Weather Channel.

I'll have to research "spatchcooked". Used to catch shrimp in Puget Sound, always cooked them in Old Bay, very tasty. If anyone is bored, do a search on "Hood Canal Shrimp", several videos on there on the recreational fishery.

I love leftover turkey on a sandwich. White bread, mayo and turkey slices. I'm with you BH, should cook these things more often - and they are relatively cheap.

Merry Christmas!

Cooking a turkey today, have the old folks coming over. Never have baked one before, so wish me luck. Merry Christmas!

Couple weeks ago caught a spotted bass on Table Rock that spit out a BRIGHT pink worm, looked like a Zoom Trick worm, but it was a little beat up so hard to tell the brand. Nobody around me at the time and as the fish had not swallowed it, it must have just picked it up right before I caught it. I'm guessing someone lost that worm in the past and that fish picked it on the bottom.

They may not, but they'll eat it out of spite. Evil creatures they are.

Never was close to a lot of the boats out there, but I did see one guy chucking that A-rig.
