Bob-O,
Man...now THAT is a tempting proposition. I'm not real sure if my podnuh would survive the drive up there...I'm so close to the edge most of the time...I can see over the side. I'm sure Pat and I would be in true form upon arrival...
However, it would probably take us a month to get up there...as Pat and I would try to fish every body of water on the way...

Well, Pat W. invited me back up to his place in Oakwood, TX today to catch some pre-spawn LMB. It was a gorgeous day. Pat's lake is beautiful and is at full pool.  Pat's Dock area.  Stickem' with an early morning catch up near the grass in the shallows. I love the deep rich color of these fish.  Pat W. with a gravid 20" sow. She was easily over 5lbs.  We ended up keeping 14 fish. The overall average was about 2 1/2lbs.  It was a beautiful day to be outdoors and especially nice to be fishing up in Oakwood, with Pat....and Pat, thanks again for the 48 qt ice chest of wild pork for sausage makings.

Awesome guys! I'll send you some pear wood for smoking in April. I expect a small morsel of LMB jerky in return! .....and Pat has been complaining all along about those bucket stocked LMB!

Fishing has never been about the fish....

There might be a clue in those pics as to why the BCP fishing is a little slow.....

Gorgeous!
Pat is it as peaceful as it looks?
If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

Yep it is as peaceful as can be. Beats the heck out of living 50+ years in the Houston area! Now if the crappie will just play fair it will be all good.
Charlie smoked me fishing today..... He did it last time too......but I had more fun than I have had in a long time, watching him crank those bad boys in! Makes it worth it for me to see someone really have a good time

Pat and Charlie, I feel so much less insulted about the jabs you guys always hit me with now I see how much less handsome you are than I am. Now we all need a picture of Bill D. Wish I had a printer, a few 8x10s would surely keep the critters out of the garden.

Aw Bob that was nice! Just remember we get a cut of the profits when you sell the patents to the scarecrows
And we can fish

Good company, good scenery, and good fishing....well done guys!!
"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"
If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.

Pat and Charlie, that's a good picture of u 2 guys with your catch of nice lmb. Would make a good picture on the cover of PBM. I was thinking of a title. Something like, Old Gray Haired Guys catch nice stringer of Bass in Texas Crappie Pond  Tracy
Do not judge me by the politicians in my City, State or Federal Government.

Thanks Charlie for posting that for us and allo turning us on to the killer baits that are unbelievable. I have never fished with a bait that is so effective on bass. The Doc had a blast catching them and wished she could have met you and Debbie.
