=====================================
Site of the Week - The AnyWear Chair - http://anywearchair.com/ - a backpack that converts to a chair. Nice for those hike-in fishing holes!
=====================================
Chat Room - http://fishing.about.com/mpchat.htm.
Always open, I host on most Wednesday nights from 8 to 9 pm.

Drop in chats every night from 8 to 9 pm. I try to be there from about 8 to 11 EST most nights - Check it out for chatters between 8 and 9 in your time zone.

NOTE - If you drop in and no one is there, type *beep enter on and float the chat window. You can go do something else and your computer will beep when someone enters the room.. Email me if you are having problems getting in.
======================================
This Week's Feature: -Trick Worms- http://fishing.about.com/library/weekly/aa980427.htm - Catch bass on these weightless worms during the spring.
=======================================
Tip of the Week - At Hartwell last weekend the lake was crowded. Everybody was throwing trick worms - the shallow bass had to see a dozen a day. Our club tournament was won on flukes - they looked more natural than the trick worms. When the lake is crowded, try a finesse bait that closely resembles a natural forage for the bass.
======================================
Fishtale This Week: Best Beer Battered Fish Ever -http://fishing.about.com/library/weekly/bl980427.htm - If you like beer you got to try this recipe from David Bass.
======================================
Message Boards - 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

4/20/98 through 4/27/98 - Prize - Lures include a Rattle Trap (Donated by Berry's Sporting Goods in Griffin, GA) and a Shadrap.
======================================
Joke for this Week - A guy goes to a psychiatrist. "Doc, I keep having these alternating recurring dreams. First I'm a teepee; then I'm a wigwam; then I'm a teepee; then I'm a wigwam. It's driving me crazy. What's wrong with me?" The doctor replies: "It's very simple. You're two tents."
======================================
Thought for the Week - Two rules for life: (1) Don't tell people everything you know. (2)
======================================
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.
