Thanks for the interest,Old Salt. I'm worried about this trip 'cuz I've got kids (almost) along ,a totally overlly enthused...goes into a trance southern boy-fishing fanatic,and two guys who I went with on ,what You folks ,call a"busted"trip ten years ago. What ever is going to be there is going to be like the weather-what it is.I"m up to it...and I'll do my best to see that they are.Can't help but wonder what to expect on a lake so apparently easy to reach that seems to be so quickly filling up. Is this going to be a Wis. style fishing trip? I'm hoping for more. Any advise from anyone -or any sort of heads ups woud be very appreciated. (I'm new to this computer stuff-I was hoping it'd go out of style.)
