"To catch fish, you gotta be on the fish!"

Oh my, what a mental picture that is!! :DOriginally Posted by fatboy
Good luck to ya's FB, Cohutta, and pappy - wonder if it's just you three?
Good luck weather wise. I'm sure you will all have a great time rain or shine, but I'm sure it will be sunny (with clouds only when you want them). Although with all those fish getting pulled out the water there will probaly be a constant mist over the lake.
