Bad case of it here also, very bad! At least I have used the boat all winter so it's good to go.

This...x 1000!!!

You forgot your wakemaker weight bags for Ray Charles!

Better get your truck serviced too because it looks like we are going to have to travel to get to a lake with water in it.

I know you love Cooper lake, but that seems excessive Larry


Time to buy yourself a small aluminium boat that you can slide off the bank..

- Remove trailers straps and put plug in before backing up trailer
- get kayak ready for plan B.
- I just drink Roy's beer. Thanks in advance, Roy!

Good to hear from ya, Carson.

Hey hey dont forget Da LadiesMan, Doc!

Good to see you on here Goin Green! Have not heard from you in a while.
Add to the list - Sunscreen and put away the winter clothes. Time to "Chuck some Fluff" (For those of you who are wondering, this is Slang for casting a fly)

Thanks guys, good to be back! I love chasing those hybrids, but come Fall, the green machine gets a facelift and we trade the rods for scatterguns. Here's a little recap of some of this years highlights!

Why we do it!






Praying for a WET Spring, and looking forward to seeing ya'll on the water!

I got it too. Unfortunately, we are having an endless bitter cold winter.

Glad you are back Carson. Be sure to clean all of that blood off of your truck!!!

Just hooked up my boat for tomorrow's trip, cancelled today's due to wind and temp. I can't wait to go again.
