Who has the audacity to say somethin like that? This man is kind enough to share information that would cost you thousands of dollars to learn by fishing with guides....Hell he could teach most guides a thing or two...the bottom line is...if you cant read his posts then there is somthing wrong with your brain!

Since when did grammar count for anything at all in a casual posting environment? Why should it matter? I bet your one of those people that punctuates your text messages, huh? There are people here that read Tiny's posts several times over. Not because they cant understand it, but because there is so much knowledge jam packed into it that it takes more than once to take even a quarter of it in. Keep it up Tiny, were behind ya! By the way I am a catfisherman and the grandson of an english major. I know homonyms.

Tiny, like so many of us hard core catfishermen that is on this forum we do have 1 thing in common. We love out catfishing. We really do not give a hoot about grammer. What we are looking for is trying to get an edge on finding and catching our gamefish that we all so love that we have spent many days and night and money fishing for them. So if someone like yourself comes along and types away about our catfishing and it makes sense and we go out and put it to use and it ends up working. Then we could really care less on your grammer. you still have much respect from the serious catfishermen from this forum. I am one of them. So please keep up what you are doing to help the fellow catfisherman and do not worry about the grammer in which you speak. We know what you are saying. I do not think that anyone on this forum can thank you enough for all the time you have spent typing away to try and help us out.

thanks guys ... it's very much appreciated and don't worry bout the grammer thing as it's not hurtful or anything. someone with thin skin might be detered by it but I'm like a duck and water across the back when it comes to stuff like that and it's not so important that I need defending as I've talked with these guys. They'd just prefer that I'd spend a tiny bit of extra time and hit the shift key once in a while. I'll do it when I think about it and it's kind of on my mind now to pay attention to it. But, if I miss a capitol letter now and again I probably won't go back and edit-in the capitol letters or anything. Thanks again for the defense of my lack of capitol letter use but let's get back to fishin instead of being upset about such a minor thing. It was just a request from someone so that they can read my posts a little bit easier.

I see from your pictures page that the Blue's have made it back into Keystone, just because you are back on the lake doesn't mean we don't need you to help us out every now and then, don't forget about us, we are like Buzzards waiting for Tiney to give us some more info. Good Luck to you my friend, and thanks again for all your help!!!

just rambling

Good stuff here!

When you try to put out a lot of info for others to read in a hurry,well, I can see it happening....

I'm not usually hurrying but do more thinking as I'm typing and that's why I don't hit the cap key most of the time. I think real hard when typing so that I can type it up so that everyone can understand it or I try to paint it out like a picture sometimes by explaining certain details or elaborating quite a bit on some things. I get run-on sentences like that too with a lot of conjunctions in a sentence instead of the usual one conjunction per sentence.

I would imagine that everyone that wanted to read this thread has already done so so if one of the mods wanted to unsticky this thread it'd be okay ... we can always bump it back up if anyone asks questions pertaining to this subject. That is, if there's no objections.

Tiny, I took a speech class at North Tx St University in 1963 and it sticks in my mind that professor told us the most important thing is to communucate...not to try to impress them with your extensive vocabulary...you communicate very well IMO!

Thanks again. Great info.

I can't believe I've never seen this post before. Anyway, I took all the information from the first page and put it in Word format and it took 16 pages. WOW thats a lot of great information. Tiny I wish you would reconsider the book deal. I'm sure it would be a big seller. I want my copy autographed.

I already wrote one but finding a publisher is the hard part when it comes to catfishing. the publishers think that the only thing you need to know about catfishing is how to reel a reel or tie a hook on and bait it with a weiner and that's all you need to know. there's also the problem I ran into with publishers that already have a catfishing book in print ... they don't want to publish another one no matter how much better it is than the one they've already got in print because they don't want to print another book that will be in competition with the book they've already got published. I've got a lot more info that I could share that I've never written about but getting it published is the biggest issue. I've had lots of people say I could publish it myself and all that but you have to have the funds available to do that and then you won't have any way to distribute ... that was another problem I ran into. Amato book's owner wanted to publish my book but he brought it before his board and they pointed out that their distribution was in the northwest and a bluecat fishing book they didn't have the distribution for.

Man when it is a sticky you knew exactly where to find this post. I read it then reread before going. I guess i just need to print it out and keep with me. My short term memory is not what it What were we talking about lol.
