Thanks I will pass this on to Bob as it would be an improvement. Thanks! I just worry about all that great info that uses pictures to illustate the idea/observation disappearing down the road. Too much good stuff here to lose.

Looks like I am a little late on this thread. Tommy's comes through my neck of the woods all the time. I bought fish (CC & FHM) from them last year and they did great. Lost very few CC and they grew pretty fast. The FHM got pretty much cleaned out by the LMB but luckily I put some of them in my wife's goldfish pond. As long as she doesn't catch me dipping them out she won't know where I get my live bait.

Well Jeff Walker, seeing as you've been with us for about a year and a half, better late than never for your first post!

Brettski,
Where about in Il are you? My pond is always open if your ever down to the bottom of the state. Plus I live in the Deer capital of Illinois and the National forest is in my back yard. What more could a guy ask for and not have to show proof of age?

I actually was born and raised in Peoria, and spent many summers in Simpson, IL. Our family had a farm down there where we had family reunions all the time. I even got stitches at the Marion Hospital.

Simpson, no kidding? Then you might now where Trigg Tower is. I live about 10 miles North of Simpson. Small world.

Is that the old fire watch tower? Yes, I have been to Trigg Tower, I'm pretty sure it overlooked the farm.
If you know the place, you might know the family. Mansel and Gertrude Owen were my mother's uncle and aunt. Richard Owen is a cousin, his daughter JJ was killed several years ago in a car wreck, she used to work at the golf course not far away.
Yes indeed, it is a small world!
