[VFB] Re: Charlie Bonner
I am so sorry to hear that. Charlie was definitely one in a million (billion?). I still remember at the Sowbug about 4 years ago he asked if Brandon was going to be going fishing. Since we only had one vehicle we were not going to be able to so Charlie asked if he could take Brandon to Dry Run Creek. Charlie had the patience of a saint and took the time with Brandon to teach him fly fishing. Brandon caught an approximately 5 lb. rainbow there and will always remember that experience. I think he also took Brandon the next two years. Charlie was one of his best buddies. He will be crushed to hear he passed away. Charlie was definitely a credit to the support as well as a credit to humanity. His family is definitely in our prayers. Bruce Whittle - Original Message - From: Jimmy D.

The family is at the funeral home right now, setting up the funeral arrangements. The lady at the funeral home told me she thought the funeral would be Saturdary. She'll post it to their website late this afternoon. I'll check and as soon as it's posted, I'll alert the ya'll with the particulars.

[VFB] My new 8wt bass outfit
Folks: I bought a 9ft 8wt Outfit from Cabelas,(a Cabela's Cahill) that was only $59.95 for the whole thing. Rod, reel, WF fly line, backing, and tapered leader.. I bought it cause I had no bass rod and it's all I could afford at the time..Man, am I ever glad I bought that thing.. I tied on my biggest Dave Whitlock spun deer hair Fruit Cocktail fly that I have ever tied, complete with about an 1 1/2 diameter body, 3-4 inch tails, rubber legs, metal eyes, and a mono weed guard.. It was freezing and the wind blowing at 20mph at least. I got out there in the yard, lined up with the wind at my back, and the first 9 out of 10 casts went 60-65 ft, with an easy splash down for that sized bug.. I kept at it till I was getting 80 foot casts,(10-15 ft farther than I have ever gotten with my 5wt St. Croix rod, AND IT HAS A $65 spool of line on it LOL..) consistently, using a single haul cast. And the reel does have a drag system, although it is a gear against gear system, which wears out quickly, but is nice while it lasts. The rod is all graphite, and says it's medium action, but I would rate is as the FAST side of medium action..But, it also has aluminum reel seat,(vs the plastic ones usually found on these cheap rods) and double reel nuts to keep it extra tight. It has a cork fighting butt and the 9ft rod has TEN eyes, which I think helps to shoot the line even farther.. Anyway, if anybody wants a nice , cheap bass rod, I don't know how long that price will last, as i think it's normally $99.95, but still WELL worth $99.95 even. Anyway, just wanted to give this report in case anybody is looking for ran outfit like this..Since I bass fish only occasionally it will be great, but with cats and action like that, I may start bass fishing MUCH MORE LOL Chuck And I Have Miles To Go before I Sleep.
