Dan is a trooper just like me. That is why we get along so well. If you get mad after being on the water for 10 hours because you can't believe that the day is already over, you love fishing. If you are planning your next trip at the same time you are launching for the day, then you are a grinder. I love the hard core fishing experience, but t-tops and a spacious boat take away some of the elements. Stripermack agreed on the forum and folks on here being very helpful and encouraging. If you can fish next to Dan in weather that would turn people back, then i want to meet and fish with you. Striper bait (Larry) Thanks. A compliment from you means alot, and I appreciate your store and helpfulness everytime I am in. Good work keeping us fishing.

I must love fishing, cause catching or not, I yearn for the water the second I pull that boat out.

Me too. Amen Troutman

Clay, I am here, but do you really want me to post my initial thoughts on this one?

I'm just trying to figure out who's goig to be the first one to send Dan some flowers. Jeez, we all know Dan's a great fisherman. Can't you guys get a room? Still, anyone that pulls for either Florida or Georgia can't be right ib the head. Only thing worse is being an Alburn fan.

Or an Alabama fan.

I think that was not a typo....Al-burn, I get it. That's good, I finally figured out why you Ga. guys hate Alabama football so much. Just took a couple of decades of watching ya'll play. I even root for those Dogs. Yeh we had a few bad years too, but I think......We Back!! When does Ga. play Bama again, can't wait. Sorry about the off topic, just had to take up for my team.
I've been reading this blog and really enjoyed it, Way to go Wahoo, and Dan, you are Da Man. Next time I get to go, I'm taking actual written notes, if I have time. You learn a lot of great stuff from a great teacher.
Wahoo, I hear ya, Dan says "the Devil's is in the details", that's easy for him to say, because he's got it, and he makes it look much easier than we all know it is. Like my old boss used to say, " Prior planning prevents poor performance".
ROLL TIDE!

we all use to call it the 6 'P' plan:
previous planning prevents piss poor performance
Go Gators..........

Come on weather I'm ready for some 70's & 80's.........

I'm ready for some solid 60's. This up and down stuff is for the birds. Just as I think I have it figured out **WHAM** water temp drops.
