Well, I had to turn some bad news into something good. I have planned since last year to fish Fork spring break. Daughter in Kansas with Grandparents and wife is working all week. I had Cody booked Tuesday and was going to run water myself rest of week. I got back from Hartwell and Bass Pro Grapevine still hadn't fixed my trim seal after being there 10 days. I got on the phone and worked out 4 guides in 4 days since Cody was already booked up beyond our day. Today - 3 hours to dark with Eric Wright http://ericwrightlakefork.com/Tuesday - 8/9 hours with Cody Malone http://www.lakeforkpremierguideservice.com/Wednesday - 8/9 hours with Justin Margraves http://www.justinslakeforkguidetrips.com/Thursday - 8/9 hours with Brooks Rogers http://www.lakeforkguidebrooksrogers.com/Looking forward to fishing with these guys. FYI I will be at LFM starting tonight. Message if anyone wants to bench fish end of day. I will be at Tiffany's Tuesday and Wednesday 6 pm or so on red laptop, say hi.

I'm surprised that there's guides with days open during spring break week.
I'm fishing with Tony Clark tomorrow. Depending on when / where we finish I may get to stop in at Tiffany's for dinner before heading home.

Eric was nice enough to fish with me today after an all day trip! he's got less bites this morning, but on some quality a few 3-5 pounders. Looking at Cody's FB he's on a few 3-4 pounders too. It is warming boys! I have a list of guides I want to fish with, so when opportunity like this allows me to cheat on Cody I just start going down it.

Bass Pro Grapevine = 5 miles and I've heard they have good techs, but this has been frustrating. They are blaming it on Ranger waiting on the parts.

Yeah sounds like a great week for sure. Also love how Bass Pro blames it on Ranger I would think trim seals would be a part needed from outboard manufacturer.

Those turned out to be some pretty expensive trim seals.

Rob, I will be out there Thursday through Saturday, staying at Popes, Im from Keller so our homes are pretty close. After being shut out this past Saturday I have been calling guides all morning to get a trip booked for friday for my son and I. I'd love to know how you do and catch up but your PM inbox is over the limit and I couldnt send cell #. Shoot me a message if you want so we can catch up Jim
