Well folk's, after my trip to Minn. I fell behind and had alot of interesting reading to catch up on from this forum. All good stuff which doesn't surprise me, except a select few that I won't mention. Anyway's, I'm going down by JB's neck of the woods(Laredo, TX) and will be down there on business. Hope to catch a charter in the gulf on Fri. but I don't know. Anyway's, I guess I will have some catching up to do when I get back. Keep it interesting!!!!

I really enjoy this forum. It has some very interesting topics. It sure beats posting on the foosball & billiard forums.<br /><br />Derrwood cracks me up ...

Ahoy, 495!<br /><br />How was the musky fishing? Hope you had a successful trip.<br /><br />I will be leaving in a couple of weeks for LOTW for a week.<br /><br />Sad that my son's business will not allow him to go with me. He is the best traveling and fishing companion ever born.<br /><br />So, I will fish with the excellent guide we have used a few days each year for 7 or 8 years.<br /><br />Some suggest that I not go this year, but when your health is as unpredictable as mine you learn not to count on next year even coming. If you want to do it, do it now. :)

495v<br /><br />If you are going to Laredo I hope your shots are up to date. Whoever said the world is round has not been to Laredo. It is the edge. If you are flying in you might miss the beautiful view! :mad: <br /><br />My father and I hunted whitetails in that area for 40 years. Everything down there either bites, sticks, pricks, or scratches.<br /><br />Bring and Oxygen tank with a portable cooler also. It should be 100 deg on Friday and 90% humidity.<br /><br />But to quote a saying from the Bud Lite comercials.<br /><br />"It Ain't Dat Bad..................."<br /><br />Ranger

I almost forgot. There used to be a great Black Bass lake there near the airport. It is small and with our drought it might just be dry. Back in the 70's and 80's we used to catch nice stringers there.<br /><br />Lake Casa Blanca is the name.

DJohns, Derwood.<br /><br />Don't misunderstand. I feel fine. The Docs say I'm doing well.<br /><br />It's just that I've had two critical heart attacks and a perforated ulcer(accident)in the last three years and am not counting on anything.<br /><br />I think if there is something I really want to do, I need to do it now. Next year may not come.<br /><br />Thanks for your kind thoughts. :)

Howdy JB<br /><br /> Hope your trip to LOTW is a good one. May Jaws latch onto your rig and not let go. The Deer Flies I know will be biting at this time of year. I'll be their the first week of Sept. Stay healthy and let me know how it goes.
