Today would have been the perfect day to be on Dale Hollow. Nasty, icy, snowy windy conditions spell one thing and that is YUM YUM for the Smallie bite. I can see it now, no boat traffic, FNF rod loaded up with a fresh Duck Feather Red and Chartruese jig all Doped up to perfection to that cast onto that current "Honey Hole" in mid lake (you know the one Hens). Bobber going hippity hop all by itself, just reeling slow enough to keep the line tight then the bobber takes a swim to the swing, hookset and catch of a 5+ Beaut. I guess a guy can dream for a while.

All of you that have tournaments and trips that are cancelled this weekend can blame it on one person, not Mother Nature, but ME. My wife and I were to head out to Evansville IN to see Rodney Carrington Live tonight at 8:45. 4th Row Tickets bought, hotel reserved, kid to grandmas house, dog to other grandmas house, everything. First Date for my wife and I in over 6 months, planned to the perfection and this happens. Not worth the 3 hour drive out for some fun so it is a pot of freshly made chili, I made it today, and movies from Blockbuster and the recorded Rodney Carrington Live at the Majestic un-cut version for us tonight. Plus a couple that we know in Evansville are picking up our tickets and going in our place so they will be used by somebody, just not us.
