sounds great Fish24, I'll send some coldies to ya if I leave any for the rest of ya.. I've been trying to hit one of the local lakes atleast 2-3 times a week. I'll probably try and hit either Puddingstone or Santa Fe later today around 3-3:30. I've got the Outdoor channel plus the OLN, I'm glued to the t.v. when these shows are on. I've learned alot so far, heck not to long ago I didn't know the difference b/t a Senko and a buzz bait or what the heck a drop shot was. Now I just need to learn how to fish the different ways. I wasn't sure what kinda response I would get from my post but man these guys have been great!!! Hopefully this summer I can make a lot of trips since I'm a teacher and a coach and have summers off... I do have a lil one due in June so that might slow things down.
