    My preference is to camp...........nothing like sitting around a nice campfire in the evening with cold beverages, good cigar, and bs'n with your buddies after a long day of fishing. At one time or another I have done all of the above though.....

    A couple years ago, i was floating around a small pond in my bellyboat when the water started erupting with bass launching themselves at the damsels fluttering above the water........the closest thing i had were some small black poppers, but they worked........it was a very enjoyable hour and a half. One bass even went after my popper in mid air (about a foot above the surface)!!

    I like the design............I would prefer to see it embroidered as opposed to screened. I unfortunately have a "pumpkin" head as well (7 3/4 in a fitted). Fitted would be nice, however, I would wear one with a fabric or leather adjuster in the back as opposed to the cheap plastic snap together thingamabobs...........

    Oh yeah, make sure the underside of the brim is dark........

    thanx........i'll take you up on that. I'll be staying with my brother in pemboke. He works out on the cape and his wife works in downtonw Boston. They moved there this past summer, we visited over Thanskgiving........looking forward to getting back. I would be interested in any backwater/salt pond areas you could point me towards.....not looking for any trophies......maybe some small schoolie stripers if I'm lucky.....I'll probably have some small kids in tow. i wouldn't mind hitting a beach with the flyrod.......it would have to be a relatively calm day, I don't think my skills are up for it otherwise.

    I'm with you on that Sk...........I've been a bosox fan for 42 years and never wavered (cringed a few times though)............just 2 years ago everyone was amazed that a team could have a 100 mil. payroll...........now the yanks are going to top 200 mil.........They are going thru arb. w/Gabe White and are in the hunt for Greg Maddux........unbelievable!!

    Well.........., i just got back........It was a pretty good show.......nothing like the big shows out on the East coast, but not too bad. Plenty of exhibitors, demo.s, etc. Not a lot of deals on gear, but there were a few if you looked hard enough. I only stayed about 2 hours because i had my 8 year old daughter with me. they had a kids section, just not too many kids around. I think a bunch of the old guys got a kick out of watching my daughter sit down at the tying table and whip out a wooly bugger...........

    thanx LB,

    I've never used a rabbit strip on anything that small......I've got another pattern I've used for years trying to imitate the small Shad fry in my neighborhood rivers, but it doesn't have half the action this would.........
