    RE: The float n fly

    A bunch of us get together every January @ Dale Hollow, used to be @ my place, but we have since sold it and now have resorted to renting a huge cabin to accomodate all of us. Billy has gotten quite adapt at fishing that contraption :) Every year he reels in a toad or two on it. I am still a hair jig kind of guy and have not yet resorted to sissy fishing. Rest assured though, this year that may change as I have purchased a sissy rod and all the trimmings.

    We can't handle the entire board, but if a few of ya want to see what a real get together looks like, by all means let us know. We have live music every night and the BS that goes on is absolutely priceless :)

    RE: Jeremy,Geo,etc.all

    Geo, no I don't keep up with numbers, but I am rarely the little fish guy :) When I am not in a Tournament, I fish strictly for big fish, can go days sometimes without a bite, but boy when I get bit, it is usualy one that everyone say's, Holy Chit look at that toad!! :)

    Jeremy, shoot me an e-mail and I will fill you in on details of our get togethers. It is not one to be missed thats for sure. Most of us were strangers drawn together from a couple message boards, untill we all met, now it is a yearly thing that we all look forward to. We have guys come from as far away as Pennsylvania. It is truly a sight to behold. There is always way to much alcohol consumed, there is way to much food that is not consumed. The guys are all worth the trip every year.

    Jeff, most of the music is bluegrass and old country. Ole Billy (Redneck) picks a pretty good box. The coup d'gra though is Ron Sanders, a regular here and a couple other message boards. The songs he belts out makes ya take a double take just to make sure that voice is coming from that bucket head of his. We also have a couple Indiana boys who can lay it down as well.

    The worst thing about our yearly get togethers? They end :(

    RE: The float n fly

    So.......Do you keep up with those sissy rigs.......are you as consistent with the jig, or do they outfish you....

    Just wondering, because I also prefer the hair jig to my friends sissy equipment, but on one really CRAPPY day a couple years ago, those sissy rigs kicked my butt.

    I would say the guys fishing fnf, vs jigs, vs live bait rigs all have similar results........but on that day, it was a WHOLE different ballgame.

    Later,

    Geo
