I will be fishing with Rod Thigpin on the 19th of feb and am looking forward to it. I appreciate all the input I recieved on this post. I got my built in swimbait compartment done on my boat. I have storage for about 70 swimbaits on 5 2' stainless rods. I will try to get some pics up when I get home from work next week. Thanks for all the tips on rising water guys. I really appreciate this site there is another one I go on from time to time and it is real big but sometimes there are a lot of pretty negative posts between poster's. I really like the fact that a kid could come on this site and things are kept above reproach.

Peace

Rich
