Sid:

Good stuff on the fishing updates!!! I managed to get out on Lake Tomahawk looking for my new Fred. Interesting that the water temp was 73*-74*, but with the recent rains perhaps that is reasonable. Managed one LGM Bass on a October 14" tube and think the bass was only 16-17" long and that may be giving it more credit than it deserves... Also got hit again after that, thought nothing of it after setting the hook and missing. But get the tube in the boat and just before I put it away, noticed some scuff marks on the tube, then while inspecting it noticed some slash marks in the upper portion of the tube, oops... so my hookset really did miss something.

Got honey do list things to take care of tonight, then hopefully back out on Tom for some more toothy chasing. Hoping to get over for the show on Sunday night after bartending at Fibbers, going to try to get the wife over for a sandwich to meet you all including Ocifer Kevin.
