Joke for this Week - A man calls his lawyer's office. "Can I speak
to my lawyer?" The receptionist says, "I'm sorry, but your lawyer
has died." The guy says, "Okay," and hangs up.
The next day, the same guy calls back again. "Can I speak to my lawyer please?" The receptionist says, "I told you yesterday. Your lawyer has died." The guy says, "Okay" and hangs up.
The next day, The same guy calls back. "Can I speak to my lawyer
please?" The receptionist says, "Sir, how many times do I have
to tell you? Your lawyer has died. Why do you keep calling here?"

Tip of the Week - Watch for gulls, and if you see them diving, go to them
immediately. I got into some schools of hybrids this week by fishing under
the gulls. Those 2 to 4 pounders really fought on a light spinning outfit!
This is the time of year to find them in middle Georgia.

draw one as the winner. The winner will be notified by email and posted

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.

Thought for the Week - Perfect after the impeachment hearings - "Fool
me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me." =====================================
Right Click Trick - Having trouble bookmarking a site you find through
The Mining Co 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.
======================================
Bonus Joke - There's this blonde out for a walk. She comes to a river and
sees another blonde on the opposite bank. "Yoohoo" she shouts,
"how can I get to the other side?" The second blonde looks up
the river, then down the river, then shouts back, "You are on the
other side."
======================================
