As a special thanks to everyone who encouraged me to write my book. You're all invited to a meet and greet this coming Saturday from Noon to 7pm. We will have grilled hamburgers and cold drinks for everyone. I will be giving away one of my best selling books every hour to one of you present who enters the drawing. More than 30,000 fishermen from across the U.S. have reviewed and made my book a best seller. Come out and lets talk fishing whether its Big Bass or Big Crappie! Thanks to all of you here on the Texas Fishing Forum for your support. I have received hundreds of personal messages, met new people, heard from people I used to know and look forward to shaking your hand as a fellow fisherman. I wrote this book to hopefully pay it forward to all the young anglers who might someday be able to say they had the fishing journey of a lifetime. I also want to thank Pat Lobbs Toyota of Mckinney, Plano Marine and Skeeter Boats for sponsoring this special event for me. God Bless John Lee Smith

Congratulations on being published. If I lived in the DFW area I would love to come by and meet. I hope you sell every copy.

Good stuff right here. ...very generous of you to give away some of your books, Mr. Smith...I would love to win one, but will probably get one regardless. I'm glad you were able to get this project completed.

Yes dan, Went down memory lane for quite a while. I can still run those boat lanes and take the road bed short cuts.

Yes the books will be available for signing. After seeing what my friend Rick Clunn did on St. Johns River, I'm thinking of making a comeback at 69!

Got my copy in last week and really enjoyed it! You really had some AMAZING trips on TB... to think that lake did produce and still is producing the numbers and size that it is!! I'll have to put my new graphs to use trying to find some of those old brush piles!!
Thanks for taking the time to publish the book I sure liked reading about your experiences!

I know the ones in San Patricio will be there. There were 4 or 5 in front of what was Sepulvados Landing on the south side of San Pat. They were 50 ft in diameter and came from 25 ft all the way to the surface. Looked like giant T-Pees on my old paper graph! If you have my book you can look at the map I created and it shows the location of them. If I were there now I would hit the X just west of those where the creek bends up towards the north shore. Depth went from 35-25-20-15-10-5 ft in 50 yards. The big girls are always there in Feb and Mar. Jig with Spring Lizard Waterdog and Magnum Mudbug Coachdog color (Chartreuse/black back/Orange belly. Caught more than 50 there over several years 7-9 lbs. Won 2 tournaments there. Looks like there's going to be quite a crowd at my book signing Saturday at Lobbs Toyota in Mckinney. We've got the Team Toyota Truck and a ZX Skeeter, grilled hamburgers and drinks, and a whole lot of fishing stories and information brewing.
