Huh?..... lol

A couple others as well right ??

[wader-dad]

Yes I am just starting to form the Wet Suiting Zulu Bravo Task Force- 4 or 5 guys. So don't worry you will have plenty of company. But we need you.

I wish it wasn't so far for me to drive I would love to hear Tim speak

Wow - what a memorable evening last night. Tim Coleman on Block in the 80's with Pat Abate and Dr. Frank Bush adding some of their thoughts and memories. Dennis - you got a mention or two.

Tim brought his jar of maybe 100 mustad 3x trebles all with straightened and mangled hooks from the house they used to rent every year. The huge bass were destroying their gear.

Even got some spot burning including an x on a white board where Tim caught his 67.

Was a privilege spending a night learning from these fine men.

I had plans to come but just couldn't make it. Last week I even asked Steve McKenna to come but he couldn't either. Love the jar of corn on the cobb holders. He tell the story of the "green cigars"?

Man if you and Steve came down it would have been EPIC.

He told the story of him getting stuck in the bramble trying to take a short cut up near the dentist's house with some big fish and his getting the hook in his nose and the New Jersey guys setting off fireworks when the finally got a 50 and the heavy guy who made it down to a spot and could not move any further and just stayed there all night and still caught fish in the high 40's and when they came back he was lying on a rock like a beached whale and snoring up a storm.

And the commercial guy with a tin boat who caught so many thousands of pounds of bass that a boat came to block with a truck just for him alone to get all of the fish that he had under tarps in his back yard.

And how they had beat up little cars that could hardly move and the New York guys came over with fancy expensive rigs and all kinds of the newest equipment. And they eventually kept a station wagon at the airport that got so much sand in it that plants started growing in the car and Tim told guys when they got in "hey don't disturb the landscaping".

Stuff like that- really a rollicking good time.

Why don't you tell the green cigar story
