vmike, joe, dsantos120, kevheads,

We may be the last ones standing or fishing for that matter in the Bassmaster group. I hope you guys are getting it done on the quit. PB is having his ups and downs but I’m charging the batteries tonight & I’m hitting the lake in the morning.

Spent the afternoon building weird lures out of sheer boredom. Ever heard of a Spinner Tube? I built a Chatter Grub and a Beetle Jig and a Colorado blade fluke. Dr. Frankenstein ain’t got nothing on the Pig. I’m determined to show ‘em something they have never seen! Sounds weird but I didn’t smoke today so there is some value in a demented lure development session.

Tight Lines,

Pig Brotha

I decided that I’m going to pursue a career as a weather man because they obviously don’t have to know squat about their jobs and they still get paid. What was supposed to be a 60 degree day with light winds from WNW turned out to be a 45 degree day with a howling wind straight out of the north. Spent more time trying to find a wind break than fish. Water temp never got over 40 and all the fish were at 75’ plus. Gave up early and came home. I’m probably pushing the season a little too hard. At least I got out and took in some fresh air!

PB- 0

Fish- 0

Cigs- 0

I'm still hang in here at Day 30. Hard time last night and today, a girl I've worked with and hung around with for 10 yrs. had a major stroke last night out of the blue. Went to see her today in the hospital,she's on life support, waiting for her family to come from Iowa. Life is short and can change in an instant. Please keep her and her family in your prayers.

I KNOW THIS CAN BE DONE....PATIENCE HAS NOTHING TO WITH SMOKING, FISHING DOES !  I HAVE ALWAYS LOOKED UP TO ZELL AS A HERO IN THE FISHING ARENA. IF HE CAN DOIT' SO CAN I, BY THE WAY HOW ARE YOU MAKING IT ZELL?

I'm new here. my quit date is feb 22. I love to fish but have always paired fishing and smoking. It seems that whenever I'm not catching anything the bass hit when i'm in the process of lightin up. I'm under weight(a problem most people wish they had but I'm struggling with) so i think i have to take snacks out on the water with me. Any advice I'm willing to take (fishing or quiting)

hello everyone

I am new and i had just got it in my mind tonight to quit once and for all, i always say i am going to this year and it never happens.

I got it in my mind to quit and i am starting with today. It is great to see alot of guys on here that like to fish. Me and the wife made a deal that if i quit i can buy a boat since we would need the money that i would save from not smoking and put it towards a boat. The main reason is for myself and my family. They mean the most to me and i want to be around for a long time so that they will not be without a husband or a father. I am just going to try cold turkey this time and see if it works for me.

My mother did it and so did my grandpa and he smoked for about 55 years. i will need your guys help to make it happen and i am here to help in any way i can as well.

Thanks

Mike
