"Nice,i love my gills but crappies when the water cools are just a blast.Missed my yearly So IL crappie trip this past spring.Some days we have caught them by the 100s over the years.They have taken over a once fantastic bluegill lake."

Hoping we can learn our machines find out exactly what they can do get out on the water and use all the function we have to there fullest potential.

At 7:19pm on November 18, 2013, David, aka, "McScruff" said…: Hey Jim!

Thanks for the response. Sorry to hear you wont be able to tie up for the swap. But its good to have a job after all. Hope there isnt so much work that we don't hear from you.

My bet is there will be a New Year Swap, so standby. And, if you have the stuff for some more of those little Cosgrove Poppers of yours, I'd like to know about that.

Peace, brother.

weve got a small fly swap going here at BBG and Id like you to join.

Its all detailed in a thread on the main forum.

Check it out!
