For those of you out there that question the workings of this list please let me enlighten you. I managed to go fishing today. The first really good day this year. Before I left the house I took one Chili Pepper of Tony Spezio. Tony sent me two along with one of his frogs. As I left the house I thought maybe this fly is as good as Tony says. I fished one pond on the golf course where I always fish and did not get one single hit.. But then I did what a good friend in Wisconsin taught me. Dont' fish where there are no fish. So, I went to one other pond on the golf course where there was a cove sheltered from the wind a little and was also shallow. I figured the water would be warmer there. I put on one of Tony's Chilli Peppers and on the third cast caught one really nice bass. I proceeded to catch not only bass but also crappies, one that would go around one pound and two that would go 1/2 pound. Then the bass really started. I caught three bass running from 1/2 pound up to three pounds and all on the chilli pepper. That three pounder took quite a while to land on the three weight. Three runs and finally got him in. Then I lost that chili pepper on the next run as I couldn't turn the fish whatever it was. He broke the four pound tippet. All was not lost. Wearing the same vest that Allan Fish and I fished with last fall. I had an Electric Chicken that Allan had given me. I put that on and caught two more crappies and two more bass. I am sorry for taking so much bandwith but I just had to tell about my fabulous afternoon, all alone, and no one to talk about it.
Thanks for listening and Thanks Tony and Allan. You can bet I will tie up some of those chilli peppers and some more electric chickens. Buck...... -- Buck Hall Coldwater, OH [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://users.adelphia.net/~ehall77
