HEY LEO AND DICK,

  Leo I believe you are underestimating your knowledge and input on this site. Leo you are a true inovator and experimentor and take the time to tell others of your exploits and this knowledge helps all of us on this site. Hey Dick don't worry about spending the money that the fish profesor  LEO has got you to try. He even has me thinking about a tube!! Don't think my old back would handle it though! KEEP ON SHARING LEO cause that's what we are all here for.

  DICK your stories of your youth are beyond compare and I relish what I'm going to read everyday I'm on the computoid.

  TOOTY

Fish professor I hope to get out this afternoon for a short while. I'll have the bullet on and see what it really does. Ill keep everyone informed + I'll get to try some of my fresh worms from the worm bed. How sweet life is.  Later and GOOD LUCK if you should happen to get out there yourself.

Hey Dick, got my bobbers in the mail yesterday at work. Ran down, while screaming in excitement. Looked over, and spotted my blunder. I presumed to have order 6 additional 2.5" but ended up with 1. Looked back at my receipt, and surely enough, I ended up with one. I guess the online cart was a bit messed up when it was suppose to calculate for the 6. Yeeeeaaa..Who cares. Got what I wanted, and a spare.

 

Re-spooled my reels with fresh braid after doing light maintenance last night. Will be testing the bobbers out tonight if I get home before sundown. Otherwise, I'll be testing it out on Friday. Wife wants to hunt down snowboard gears so she and I can hit the slopes with the kids and friends later.

Carlton I wish you all the luck in the world. What ever happen please have fun be safe and keep the fishin going. Let us know how you do. I will drill you later with questions. GOOD FISHIN..

Dick you are right. This month alone I have tripled my spoon collection (which is now my favorite Gill bait), I am learning to fly fish, I have scheduled fishing trips miles away from home, I have gained so much information from this site, and met a great group of people here. I don't think the fun stops there though. I'm looking to master the craft of BG fishing.

Thank you Leo for sharing. I can tell just by the way you talk about things that you are a knowledgeable person in not just fishing but many other things. You alway give 100% and you believe in what your doing and what you say. You are truly a worthy individual and I applaud you for it.

Tooty Leo/ the fish professor is a walking book full of knowledge and will share in order to make some of us better fishermen. I think it was a blessing when he came aboard although he has cost me lots of money. He's got me raising worms, he got me to buy a fishing tube he got me into the fly rod maybe it's not such a good thing after all Zoom Zoom Zoom

David, my martial arts master and deceased father, God bless his precious soul, have taught me that wisdom and knowledge are meant to be shared. No matter what burden or challenge being tossed at my way while sharing, be consistent in revealing the what's hidden behind the shadow with the light of knowledge, reinforced with wisdom. It is the key to break through limitations and gain new ground. Thanks to Bruce for creating this website, I not only obtain knowledge from new masters, but also share what knowledge and wisdom I have inherited. I have no reason to hide wonderful knowledge, nor retain wisdom for myself. As I have taught to my kids, knowledge and wisdom that would not be shared are merely worth as much as the decaying manure sitting in a barren desert. Even manure is worth a great deal, when applied properly.

 

My knowledge is fairly limited, and so is my wisdom. There is still so much to learn and obtained. A site that dedicated to share and learn from each other, especially mistakes that had been improved upon through the decades, that is precious knowledge and wisdom to relish upon. I may sound like a 100 year old person at time, and act like a child in a candy store most of the time, but I rather be up front with all info than to be secretive. Those who benefit, I will smile gladness. Those who don't, I'll continue to share until my brain shrivels up into a prune.

HEY DICK, you are completely right about Leo not holding anything back!!!!!!!! That young man is right on top his game and apparently there are lots of folks on this site that will tell us everything we need to know, no secrets here, and I believe this giving of knowledge is why this site is so successful.

  ALL THE GUYS ARE GENEROUS BEYOND BELIEF!
