"suppin Stirin On The Rock"

[Bill Babler]

You can always tell, starting on a Thursday when a big derby is fixin to take place. Gazing out my window this AM the lake has lots of "Go Fast Bass Sled Traffic."

CPA has a pro-am and a buddy this weekend. Judging from the nice bags last week in the Winter Series, it will as usual take a pretty nice poke to get some Christmas money.

I believe there were at least 6 bags over 18 pounds weighed in last weekend. I know that was a 6 fish limit, but still over a 3 pound average to cash a check.

Wart and a jig, as far as I have heard. Colored water up the James seemed to have got the big mouth bass biting shallow.

Good luck all you pay for play guys and gals.

Bill is oh so right.....lol.. I just got back from Kimberling an hour or so ago, and they're lined up at Rapid Roberts filling boats and trucks. Looked like some pretty good spillover into Jerry's "Ozarks Bait & Tackle", although I didn't go in. Going to be on the nippy side tomorrow morning. Good luck all you tourney guys !
