Well guys and gals I am still around.  Hopefully getting better butt it is still going to be a while.  Possibly a couple more months.

It is really bad living your fishing life vicariously thru Larry's fishing experiences.  E-E-W-W-W-  Come on Larry do something..hopefully at the Silver OPEN.   (secret stuff for Larry)  Fish real S-L-O-W and catch real big fish.  And pick up MY rod at the drawing this year.

I will tell you this...  if all of the reading I have been doing can be turned into useful info for fishing I will be having a great time when I get back.

And since Lyle has done an excellent job of adding storage to my boat I won't have to stumble around a lot of stuff laying on the deck.  I will look like one of the BIG BOYS.  Just like Stu.  Well not as fast...darn, darn, darn

Good luck to all of the WBC entrants in the Open this weekend.  Remember,,,layer, layer, layer.
