I have never fished the pond at the club, but please keep us up to date on the local strippers.

I don't know much about the strippers but but I am learning about the stripers. Mark, I knew that message would catch you and Kevin P's eyes.

I reckon down by the pond could be a place to take a local stripper but I really wouldn't know much about it. LOL.

I buy a lot of stuff at the Catfish Connection (Pana Bait). They sent me a catalog in January. I can't go by their store without stopping and spending a bunch.

70 degrees next week. I will be doing a lot of fishing, gardening, and putting in some replacement fruit trees. Yeah, I will probably turn loose some dogs also

The dogwoods behing the club house will be blooming before you know it. Then, the crappie will be biting where everyone can catch them. Those boys with the quick tree dogs can get circled instead of minus points.

Here are a few I caught a couple of days ago.

I had to deliver a dog yesterday.

Mark, I used to run bank poles river rat style on the river not too far from your house years ago. I haven't set out bank poles in years, it is too easy to catch them on a rod and reel these days.

I won't have time to fish for a few days, it is past Good Friday and I don't have my taters, onions, and lettuce in yet. And, I have to get the mower ready. No rest for the weary. LOL.

Mark, that big white English you judged on the bench has been tearing them up in West Virginia competition hunts.

Mountain......the hell of it is I called before making the 45 min. drive ,they assured me they had 4 of my 5 items ...in stock..they lie...

Yep it's 30 min from me. Def not worth the drive. I'd rather just order every thing I want. And in three days it's on my door step.
