  1. Ken - If I was a Professor of English, I'd say you'd got a few too many Hyperbole's in your response ( Hyperbole (pron.: /hˈpɜrbəl/ hy-PUR-bə-lee;[1]Greek: ὑπερβολή hyperbolē, "exaggeration") is the use of exaggeration as a rhetorical device or figure of speech. It may be used to evoke strong feelings or to create a strong impression, but is not meant to be taken literally).

    Water off a ducks back to me, as -- both you and Stewart seem to be disregarding the fact I live on the lake, and have many 100's of hours blanking here, regardless of baiting tactics. The only reason the ATC puts fish out is because the whole lake is covered - for two days, and many capitalize on those that baited their swim the day before. I bet you the Austin Town Hall Clock --_ the chances of you catching here "COLD" - IE, doing it in a day, are as good as a cold day in hell, especially anytime but right before the spawn (like now)

    It's a HARD lake - and getting worse.

    If you want to keep chiding me Ken -- get your butt out here, and let's sort our differences out with fishing LBL -- I really look forward to that!!

    _ the chances of you catching here "COLD" - IE, doing it in a day, are as good as a cold day in hell, especially anytime but right before the spawn (like now) Brid , But the KIDS from Michigan just proved that statement false .Keep playing the blame game and you'll die with your p.b. stuck on 35lbs . :P;)

  2. Quote Ken -- "You use allot of educated speech on things but , your expectations are rather small minded ".

    Not sure why you construe my caring about the overall health of Texas' ONLY designated trophy Carp fishery as "small minded"? Perhaps you can please spend as long as I have fishing the water and researching it's relevant history before making further nefarious comments? NO two waters are the same, so -- making semblances with the waters you frequent and what I am discussing isn't in any way relevant. Sorry my command of the English language seems to bother you, however -- I can assure you I never have any preconceived thoughts of being particularly verbose when posting here.

    I also believe we can all use 'spell check' whilst posting here, and it would make for more interesting reading?

    Tight Lines,

    Well you certainly have mastered the English language , Now you can focus on mastering catching . :lol: Remember this , (and I say this as my best advice) scapegoating poor performance is the breeder of carrier stagnation ;) .

  3. Tom -- You sure do know how to make a guy feel good !! I'.ve fished the event with 2 past winners, and had a good chance to look in their buckets and discuss rigs/tactics etc. If you take a look at the results of this years Champion of Champions, you'll see there weren't any of them in the hunt for overall victory. What does that tell you? Things have changed a lot on this lake since my first ATC with Mr Kirkman. That year, we finished a very close second and the following year in the top 6. Last year I fished with Keith Thompson, and he landed one small fish for the two days ( I had a 30+ common and a 51+ Buffalo) - something else to consider!!

    It was 'in the stars' that Michigan were going to kick buitt and take names this year, and I'm proud of the youthful element that did just that -- HUGE CONGRATS LADS!!

    Looking forward to seeing you at Fork next week.

    Tight Lines,

    Brid , nothing is forever , All wise well rounded anglers know that . I have spots where 12 years ago used to produce numbers and big fish , today you work your arse off for a few teens . Fact of life . everything has a prime , (not to say lbl cant have another ) Got a swim now and the fishing changes from season to season . First three years coughed up numerous biggies , then took a 2 year lull we thought it was dead then it starting coughing up biggies again . You use allot of educated speech on things but , your expectations are rather small minded . Look at the big picture , Spots I have 20 and 30 fish days may only cough up 3 or 4 fish at the wrong time . Doesn't mean swim is dead , simply means my timming was off . And as for timming let me say this , IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO PLAN SUCH A BIG EVENT A YEAR AHEAD AND GET TIMMING SPOT ON
