Joke for this Week - Two blonds were trying to put siding on a house.  One would pick up a nail and either nail it into the siding, or throw it away.  The other asked her why she was throwing some nails away.  "The points were on the wrong end and I can't use them," the first blond said.  "Don't throw them away, dummy, they are for the other side of the house!"  the second blond responded.
=====================================
Trivia Contest - http://fishing.about.com/library/weekly/blcontest.htm - Answer a trivia question, be entered into a drawing for a prize - All correct answers received during the week, before noon on Sunday, will be placed in a drawing for the prize
=====================================
Tip of the Week - Fish under bridges around the riprap and pilings this time of year.  Use sliders and other finesse baits for bass, and jigs and minnows for crappie.  Fish congregate there, and you can get in the shade, too!
======================================
Upcoming Events - There is a calendar of events on my site - http://fishing.about.com/sports/fishing/gi/pages/mevents.htm - where I list any event I can find related to fishing. I have also posted notes about this site - when articles will be updated, chat topics, fishtales and other things. If you have any event you would like posted there, please email me. I can post them years in advance!
======================================
Thought for the Week - Give a  man a fish, he will be fed for a day.  Teach a man to fish and you won't have to worry about feeding him, he will not be home for most meals. 
=======================================
Fishing The Net SITES - http://fishing.about.com/msubfishnet.htm - Each week I feature five to ten sites I have found that week. I get them from newsgroups, email and surfing the net. Check these sites out - they change each week and are moved to my library of links at the end of each week. If you have your own site or a favorite that you would like me to list, email me!
======================================
Bonus Joke - Guy walks into a bar and orders five Scotches - which he downs rapidly.  Bartender asks him "What's wrong with you?"  Guy replies "If you had what I have,  you would drink fast, too!"  "What do you have?"  bartender asks.  "Only about a dollar in my pocket!" guy replies!
