Hale,

I'll also be here all week. I live just outside of Springfield, just a few doors down from Doug, and I'm almost sure I heard him say he was buying the hot wings!!!! Let us know when you'll be here!



Hey Doug, I finally got my boat back and its in the garage. I'm gettin' the fever already to go to Stockton or Pomme. I don't know if you fish much, but now is a good time to start. Let me know if you wanna go sometime!



Talk to ya later!

Doug,



You work for TM and DON'T FISH???LOL...Isn't that like a condition of employment!?! AND with so many great lakes in your backyard....? We have got to change that!!LOL Maybe a whole crew of us ought to come to your house and camp in your front yard for a week and make you go fish every day!!

Doug, Hale, Ed,



I am going to try to make it to the Classsic again this year, just not sure when. The wife is always up for going somewhere and staying in a motel. She has been asking me for three months if we are going to go again this year.



Hale- I live in Council Grove (about an hour and a half from you), when evrything thaws out we should hook up and do some fishin! Next month is a good time to start fishing at Lacygne, believe it or not they have Florida strain largemouth in there!



Tim

 

[Bill McElroy]

Mini and I will both be there....look for us in the All Star booth! Fri-Sunday...Open to close...



Mac

 

[Rick Hale]

Tim-- My other daughter lives on 90ac 1/4 mile east of Lacygne lake. Never have fished the lake.. Alway open for fishing most any weekend--Let's get together --.



Mac + Mini -- I don't see how all-ya-All get time to fish with all the boat shows and stuff..Will see you guys there.



Toxic - I wonder if the "skoal girls" going to be there??LOL



Ed and Doug -- What is a good "hot wings" place in SpringField?



HaleDamage

 

[Larry Harp]

I guess since I've got a new BPS here in OKC now I won't make it. James D. and I had a great time there last year.



Hey all you guys, don't worry about lunch...Mac's buying!! ;>))

[Tim King]

Doug,



The family is doing great! We got our little girl now so Shilo says we can stop. Funny how they seem to control that!lol



Hale- I was just talking to a friend of mine today about making a trip over there to fish sometime next month. The only bad thing about weekends is all the tournaments they have over there since it is the only lake warm enough this time of year!



Tim

 

[gone bye bye]

As Mac said we will be there. It will be the fifth BPS Classic in a row for me this year. Just did the Katy Texas store this past weekend. Off to Bossier City next.



Mini

 

[Ed G]

Doug - We will definitely have to get you hooked on fishing this summer. If anyone can do it....I CAN! I've corrupted some of best! Now they can't stop! Anyway, let me know when you're gonna be at the classic...and Tim, and Hale lets all get together. I'd love to meet some of you guys. Hale - I'm not really a wing specialist, but I'm sure we could find some good ones somewhere. Now, if you like steak....I can help ya out there! Anyway, just let us know when you'll be around.

By the way, Doug....looks like the Ranger across the street will be gone for awhile. That's John Sappington's boat, you know the FLW pro who had the accident. I guess it is in major need of some repairs. Besides, his is purtier than mine all wrapped up in that big Snickers sticker! Kind of funny, his says Snickers on the outside, and mines just FULL OF SNICKERS on the inside!!!!

Talk to ya later!
