Thanks everyone for your condolences. Neil will be sorely missed.

It is with a heavy heart that I write this. Neil Stern passed away last Thursday from medical complications. He was 73 years young. I first met Neil over 10 years ago when my print shop ran copies for him for an upcoming CAG fishing class he was putting on. I attended the class and the rest is history. We fished together every other weekend religiously for almost 10 years, until his health wouldn't allow it. We slept in folding chairs more times than i can remember. We swapped stories, jokes and ideas. We froze in the winter and fried in the summer. We drove off aggressive rac

NICE! Still waiting to catch my first goldfish and koi.

I helped Neil Stern the last few years that he did the ATC. It's a lot of work, and takes time and a cultivating of relationships with both the City of Austin and the rowing club. You have to work closely with the city officials that control parking permits, coordinate with the rowing club for buoy placements, etc. Neil had to take several trips from here in Weatherford down to Austin (a 4 hour drive) to meet with city officials and hammer out details. I myself donated all the swim signs, score cards, lake maps showing swims and scale certification decals. There's a lot of expenses that pe

Same lake as mine?

Neil and I recently hit a little lake we discovered several years ago in hopes of catching a few of the larger fish that we know inhabit it's depths. Having probably my best session ever, I landed 4 fish that totalled over 112 pounds! Two were commons and two were mirrors. The largest, at 34 pounds even, being a mirror to boot, is my new PB. My question is, what's the largest mirror caught here in Texas that anyone knows of? I just want to know how close I came.

My go-to rig. Size 6 or 8 Fox Wide Gape X hook tied on a short section of coated hooklink with a short piece of heat shrink tubing.

You know you're an addict when you have two refrigerators in your workshop just for storing corn, calf manna, layer mash, rabbit pellets, etc. You know you're an addict when you take a #2, and you pause and look back to see how long it takes to breaks down. Even worse, when you start wondering how you could alter your diet to slow down or speed up the breakdown. Of course, I've never done that... You know you're an addict when you're researching new waters, and you keep a browser window open with 4 tabs... One for a Google satellite view map, one with a Navionics water depth chart

Sorry. Haven't been on the forum in a while. It's been a zoo around our shop the last couple of weeks and I don't have Internet at home. Have to sneak on he forum when my wife's not looking... She's the boss. The cheapest way by far to print them is in black ink, meaning the photos will be grayscale. Color gets really expensive, as you know printing the NACA. Some people print newsletters in red or blue ink, but to me photos look better in grayscale than in a solid color. Either individual 8.5" x 11" 2-sided copies stapled together or 11" x 17" sheets folded in half will work great. The

I'll give you the two mirrors... but don't you want a koi too?

You don't have to hold it for me August. I have plenty of space at home for it. But I do appreciate the offer though.

Texas Brisket Platter for me. And a different sub for me each day. Can't wait!!!
