Okay guys and gals, I just got in from fishing my club tourney and placed first  and still leading for AOY. All PM's have been answered and the weekends are filling up fast, but I have plenty of week days available. I would really rather be on the water instead of  sitting around the house or mowing grass  . So if you woul;d like to get out on the water give me a call or pm A.S.A.P. James H

Hey Patrick, I got a phone call the other day from Mr. Wind  , he wanted to know when you would be on the lake to play again. You must have a wind magnet in your tackle box  . Seriously lets try again, let me know what date. James

James, had a great time Tuesday as usual. Let me know when you want to hit the water again. We gotta quit catching all those keepers and slot fish and get us a few toads. Talk to you soon buddy. Thanks for a good day on the water. Until I see you, I'll be trying to master the gaydar circus rig.

Hey Aneil, You missed a great day today! I caught fish on everything I threw, with some good size slots on spinnerbaits an swimbaits. I lost count but am pretty sure we had over 40 fish for the day. I think we have another member of the Gaydar Circus rig fan club onboard as well  . The Forkness monster is holding out till you hit the water to make his presence known  . So let me know when you have an open day and will go do it again. James

I'm back off the water again and had a great time out despite going from extreme heat and sun to what seemed like "The perfect storm". Honestly, I thoguht I would see George Clooney floating by at any minute  . We ducked the storms by beaching by Mustang resort and eating a late breakfast but silly me thought the worst was over and went back out again  . All in all we missed at least 2-3 hrs of fishing dealing with the storms. Oh yeah also searching for a trolling motor prop, since I broke mine fighting the wind. Despite all of that we managed 27 fish on Friday 20 Saturday (storms and repairs) and 28 Sunday. I had a lot of slot fish with 5 fives 3 6s and 1 at 7lbs. The large fish did not seem to come but I broke off on fish 5 times over the 3 day period  but thats all part of fishing. I still have a lot of days available so if any body is wanting to go give me a shout. James H.  PS. Patrick, that falls under the don't ask don't tell policy  .

 Patrick's 8lb on top water!  Partrick and another toad  I couldn't let Patrick out do me so I winched this 8.5 out of the pads! We had one of those days when you just knew the big fish were there. 33 fish and a good portion of them over 4lbs. Patrick was intune with the fish and was landing 5lbers and his 8 while I kept missing and leting fish pull off  . But I wiped the tears away with my crying towel, and finally hooked up with some good fish of my own. The topwater bite was great untill the lighting put the fish down. We then started to catch fish on the top secret circus rig  worked shallow around grass and lilly pads. Secondary points with grass and deepwater nearby around the old spawning areas produced some of our bigger fish. I still have a lot of dates open so p.m. me if your interested in some of the action. July is also wide open for anyone who is interested.
