Neil....hahahha......Jackie had nothing to do with that one....your time is coming though....heh
Scott....I really haven't done much fishing since the ATC. It was REALLY nice to be able to get out this weekend and do some fishing. The grasser was 30 lbs even I believe (Neil correct me if I'm wrong). -------------------- Paul Swider

Hey Dean, I dont get to surf the CAG site from work all day like I used to at my old job, thats why I dont get on here much anymore. I know you got pictures of that buffalo at Austin and I believe Jim Kirkman also took pictures. Do you happen to remember if anyone else took pictures of the buff? I wanna go back to Ausin again....

I think that was it, I have it on 35mm I need to get them done. Scotts been raggin' about his pic at Ca shoot its only been going on 6 months or so  I hear you on the job thing just "check in" when you can. I would like to fish the Austin area again my self. Maybe some time in the future we can work something out.

I'm doing OK. I guess I'm just too old (and fat) to fight the heat.
I probably won't fish much until September...but watch out after that! By the way, have you been to Cabela's yet? They have some decent size fish. They were a little beat up (scrapes and stuff) when we went, but I suspect that's from being transported. Before you buy any major equipment from Cabela's you might want to shop around. Jackie wanted to buy a reel. Cabela's wanted $83.00 plus 3 cents a foot for line. We went to Bass Pro and got the same reel for $59.00 plus free line. Avonne |
