I know I said last week was the last trip I was going to make out to Oakthorpe. Well I just had to go back! Yesterday it was raining and windy but I just
didn`t have anything else to do so I went back to Oakthorpe. I fished from noon till 5:30 pm. and it`s dark at 5:15 Let me tell you they were biting pretty
darn good. I caught 4 fish and had lost a couple of big ones. My biggest one weighed 6.50 pounds two of my other ones were close to 4 pounds and one small one
(the small one came on a frog "yes I said frog" The jig bite was on! I lost a big one in a shallow lay down. I just couldn`t get her out of the
branches. It was cold wet and windy but it was worth the trip.

Those Hawgs were worth setting the rain for. Has your surface temp dipped below 50 yet? |

OK, I'm down here in Tampa working in shorts and a t shirt, and I'm jealous of you sitting in a 50 degree downpour.
Another great trip to a place thats been pretty good to you this year. Bill |

Larry can catch fish from a mud puddle. As for the weather. I am staying inside as much as possible. Bethie is in the Hospital and I don't have any
supervision right now other than Cast. Hunter you could pick worse folks to follow around on a pond. During tournaments it looks like Larry has a fan base.
It's just us other fishermen following him around.....Jim

Bethie is in the Hospital and I don't have any supervision right now other than Cast.Jim, I hope everything is o.k. with Beth. We certainly do wish her well if she is ill in some way. Larry, I ran into you down at Oakthorpe earlier this Spring, and I couldn't get a grip on that little lake. Although it didn't |

Bethie is fine Rick, She had 4 IV bags of magnesium dumped in her over a 24 hour period. She goes thru this every so often. If her magnesium level drops to
low, she looses all of her electrolytes and then has seizures. Our family doctor caught it this time before that happened. She is home and resting now. Thanks
for the concern ....Jim

Jim,
I'm extremely glad to hear she is doing better. Please let her know I was thinking about her. Larry, Your absolutely right about being on the water all the time and it paying off. I'm going to have to check that hat deal out. You may be on to something on how to wear it.
