the ole lady says I am starting to put on too many pounds. It also doesnt hurt that the price of gas is $3.50/gallon
So i picked up a used wilderness system Ride 135. Pretty well outfitted for fishing already. am only going to add an anchor.

Spring Rains have the turbidity high...
Which means i will probably be fishing Lanier this weekend, pulling blue backs for stripers.
I was in Cartersville today for work and stopped by Cohutta Fishing Co.
Andy Bowen seems like a nice guy and owns the place. Says hes getting 6 more Jackson Coosa's in a few weeks. He has two left.
I bought a couple of Bass flies while i was in there. One may be a striper fly, but i doubt i will bring it Saturday unless i see a convincing report that they are busting the surface.

Structure Scan
I have seen the 22" LCD screens out on the lake. Does this seem to be worth it? Can we finally distinguish between a tree and a school of fish?
These Lowrance and Humminbird units seem to be almost a must have. Cannot wait to review one....
Bill Lewis Rat L Trap
How about the Bill Lewis Rat L Trap
http://www.rat-l-trap.com/
I feel this is one of the best all around bass lures out there. I have been using this since I was a kid. Just throw it out and retrieve how ever you like. Covers lots of water in unknown areas.
One of the best strategies i have found is to throw this until you catch one. Then work that area with a worm or jig/pig until you catch 2 more.

Random Fish from the past
 |
| Lanier Cat while striper fishing |
 |
| Good bream out on Clarks hill while bass fishing (did catch bass this day) |
 |
| Nice Brownie on a midge at my secret spot at white water |
 |
| A pre bed bream on the sluice |
Techs: A good dog
I was about to buy a nice new Jackson Coosa Kayak. Until my Golden ate one of my new flies that i got shipped to the house from Caylors Custom Flies (http://www.caylorcustomflies.com/). A trip to the emergency vet later ($1400) I did not buy that kayak just quite yet. The dog is fine and you can see why he was at least half worth it from the pics. He's got a lot of fishing left in him.
