Howdy Butch,

Well, my folks broke down and bought a computor, so I thought I'd try it out. My father and I had a great time fishing on the BarHopper Tues. It was a learning experience, and for someone who spends as much time on the water (all be it fresh) as I do, that is saying something. Fishing in water that shallow took some getting used to, but I feel like I have a basic understanding of technics that I had only read about. Setting a hook on a nice Red and then trying to use the rod to control a fish that shallow was well worth the price of admission.

We had a little combination fish fry/blackening Wed., a preturkey warm up. I will try and charter another trip with you some time in Feb. Until then, HAPPY HOOKING.
