Hey Cindy,

> Great phonetic southern accent, Butch, but since when is MD deep south?

First .. its the REAL Butch .. I switch back to Down Home soon as I git

back to Kentucky .. I was born in Nashville .. raised on the TN-KY line.

As for Maryland not being South .. depends on what part you tawking

about. Friendsville (which I never lived in) is in Appalachia .. on the

West By Gawd Virginnie Line .. in that Nawthwest finger tucked twixt

Pennsylvania and WV. Closest town bigger'n 5,000 folks is Morgantown,

WV. The folks at the bar in Friendsville often say that Friendsville

wasn't Yankee enough to be in Pennsylvania and was too Redneck to be in

West Virginnie. ;-)

Don't want nobody to outdo me .. just keep up with me and wake me up

when the feesh start biting.

Good show .. might do that .. I tell folks my route when I go .. and

that last part above is a gar-an-tee he'll stay married to you. ;-)

Fair it is .. responsibilities come first (ceptin during the time the

bass be on the bed) .. and I'm glad you ain't no silly wife whut needs

to give permission .. plus glad he ain't no silly man whut needs to ask

fer it. ;-)

> I don't need to be his mom, too!

Gud attitude that is fer'shur .. wishing y'all many more years of

happiness. :-)

> And....he uses live bait, not plastic worms - ick.

Can't use live bait in a Bass Tournie .. its contrary to conservation

laws .. introduction of species whut ain't nat'ul into the lake. And

Bass don't sniff a bait nohow .. they be stalkers and killers so its

gotta be moving just rite and gotta fool ol' Mr. Bass.

> I do wish he'd go easy on the reels, though - they are getting a bit pricey!

Deep sea rods and reels cost more than our fresh water rigs.

> And when I think of how many hydrosols and EOs I could buy with that $$$!!!!

Now that .. is the right attitude fer'shur. :-)

Y'all keep smiling. :-) Butch http://www.AV-AT.com

Who .. is gonna knock out one more order and then head out to an

Independence Day Party thrown by some Turkish friends in honor of a

couple of us Infidels. ;-)

Hi guys

Had to share the " feeshing " stories with my SO -- he is majorly into " practice

casting " thats when you don't catch anything. The part about

" gotta have a tackle box with $7,500 worth of fancy lures which

you never use .. and a dang 17 ft Ranger Deep V (hand made in Flippin, Arkansas)

with a 175 HP Johnson and a couple'a trollin motors .. and 7 expensive

rods/reels cause there's no time to switch baits and that's the legal limit in

most tournies. "

He can really relate to -- He must have at least that much in SEVERAL boxes --

sounds like a good time ahead!! We live in Colorado where you have to throw the

fish back -- Hard to have a good meal when you have to throw them back -- oh

well its the " practice casting " that is the fun part -- so I'm told. He isn't

into the suds but give him a bottle of black label and he is set for the day.

Actually he discovered a very fine Sottish scotch called of all things " Sheep

Dip " Each to their own

have a great 4th

IF .. you live in the South .. where we got them Hawg Bass .. cause

ain't nuthing but Bass minners in the Nawth due to the short growing

season .. and IF your husband has a bass boat .. and likes to drink beer

and tell lies (which are requirements for fishermen ceptin you can't

have no beer in the boat during tournies) then on my swing through

Gawd's Kuntry twixt the latter part of July through mebbe the middle of

September or so .. I'll be happy to stop by for some lessons. ;-)

Part II .. just saw this one. ;-)

Deep sea feeshing .. be it trolling or bottom feeshing .. is a good time

for all .. and its meat feeshing .. and I like it. But sea feesh don't

got no smarts .. you just catch'em. Them Hawg Bass is smarter'n the

average feller .. you gotta pay attention to temperature and Ph of the

water .. gotta have a tacklebox with $7,500 worth of fancy lures which

you never use .. and a dang 17 ft Ranger Deep V (hand made in Flippin,

Arkansas) with a 175 HP Johnson and a couple'a trollin motors .. and 7

expensive rods/reels cause there's no time to switch baits and that's

the legal limit in most tournies.

Then you gotta watch some local Redneck whut knows the lake come out

with a paper sack fulla plastic worms in the rite color (which he knows

but you don't cause he reads the water better than you do) and see him

tear you a new butt with his $14.95 Zebco 404 rod/reel and his $1.79

worth of plastic worms. And the heck of it is, folks don't get to keep

the feesh in a tournie nohow .. its catch and release so them you do

catch (less'n you be that Redneck with the paper bag) cost about $350 a

pound. It ain't .. meat fishing. ;-) Butch
