yes sir, looks like extortion to me as well might have to give that a try

I'll do that. I know a couple of brushpiles but I havent fished granger in a long time. but if I take someone out, I'd like for them to catch something. I'm getting a brand new center console. Picking it up saturday. Can take 2 people. i'll sign up but let me take it out aturday first and get used to it.

now I'm not taking 'em out just to get a place to fish....I'd like to see them catch something, and my son and me will be their guide

and I cant go back up in them stumpfields.

Treebass, I'm the guy in the blue skeeter that saw you a couple of weeks ago at fox park and told you that you were an icon around here

you and dbman are heroes at my household

Now , my son is a crappie fishing fool. He'll go with us and rig up their lines and bait'em out for'em

Well I will make you a deal as well....hmmmmm I have nothing to offer but soldiers. Does that make me a pimp? J/K

Thanks, but I'm no hero, but DBman, he's your man! Congrats on the new boat, and don't worry, you won't have to go stump jumping

Good luck and thank you for supporting America's Finest..Just wish I could be there to assist

I'm not a hero either. I am just passionate about my fishing and helping others that are not as blessed as I. You will meet the real heroes on June 28th. I am sure all of the boaters involved will become the soldiers heroes. Thanks to all the Granger Gang for the assistance and congrats on the new boat snowy. Hopefully I'll be getting my new CC soon. See you all Sunday on the Lake. Make sure you all get registered @

I'm assuming that the soldiers that are going on this Granger trip are coming from Ft Hood. I would bet that some of the boaters are coming from the Killeen, Copperas Cove area.

I would gladly pick up my soldier at the main gate visitors center and provide the ride to the event. If I knew who I was going to take, we also could recon and pre-fish Granger prior to 28 June. Just a thought.

IT doesn't matter where the boater is from, if they want to take a soldier out fishing then they can go. As far as picking up the soldiers for these events I will be able to provide the transportation. I had to go in and plea my case for the project once again and they agreed to look at it again. Basically said you don't want to be the guy that denied this project when its something as simple as this that does so much. Things are looking up once again. Later Mike
