This Week's Feature: - Boats I Have Known and Owned -
http://fishing.about.com/library/weekly/aa980323.htm
- My first bass boat will always hold a special place in my memory.
=======================================
Tip of the Week - Last weekend a club I am in fished a two day tournament
at Eufaula and we weighed in only 5 bass. We thought they were not hitting.
Most of us stayed in the area where we launched and fished there. I found
out lots of bass were caught in other areas of the lake where the water was
clearer. Tip - don't get stuck on one pattern that is not working. Be flexible,
try something different if you aren't catching fish!
======================================
Fishtale This Week: Mystery -
http://fishing.about.com/library/weekly/bl980323.htm
- A reader says one of my articles helped him catch a big bass, so I
want to beleive it, but he didn't give his name. Is it a true story?
======================================
Message Boards - My boards don't get much traffic - even with a contest!
Is there something you don't like about them or some other problem? Let me
know.
Every post to the Freshwater Fishing Board - http://fishing.about.com/mpboards.htm - during the week is eligible for a prize. Each Monday I will put every post from one Sunday midnight to the next in a "hat" and draw one as the winner. The winner will be notified by email and posted here. There will be one winner per week.
This contest is, of course, an unabashed attempt to get people to use my boards! The only requirement is that posts must be related to fishing. The board is for fishing info so ask a real question, respond with an answer you know, or post information about a trip you took. They can be original posts or responses to posts. I will use the "Show Post from 1 week" button to select the posts for the contest. All the details and a list of past winners can be found at http://fishing.about.com/library/weekly/blboardcontest.htm
3/22/98 through 3/29/98 - Prize - Lures
including a bag of worms, a Rattle Trap and a
spoon.
======================================
Joke for this Week - Another Darwin Award - Derrick L. Richards, 28,
was charged in April in Minneapolis with third-degree murder in the death
of his beloved cousin, Kenneth E. Richards. According to police, Derrick
suggested a game of Russian roulette and put a semiautomatic pistol to Ken's
head instead of a revolver.
======================================
Thought for the Week - What do you do when you discover an endangered
animal that eats only endangered plants?
======================================
Right Click Trick - Having trouble bookmarking a site you find through
The Mining Company because the URL doesn't show? This is a problem with
frames. Right click your mouse and the page url you are viewing should show.
Then you can copy it and book mark it. Sorry for the trouble.
======================================
