They just keep coming! Bigger and better!

Excellent action! Nice bait to say the least!

That is a neat bait!

I don't know beezer, the way vodkaman, philb and spike carry on about sequins and such, no telling what they will do!

Nathan, I plan on bringing a different air compressor this time so we can create some really toxic fumes. You will have to show the new faces how you build the rodent, a super lure it is, as well as the rest of the Bettencourt lure line-up! Plenty of things flowing alright, Beer and B.S.. I think with all the interest Bruce has shown in Zoe, I am sure Coley will make it, if only to defend his prize pig.

Thats right Pete! The first high speed gears for the old ambassadeur 5000's were made by a individual in Missouri and what you mention is exactly what was done to the reels after installing the high speed gears.

HaHa!

Hey Gene! Good to see ya man!

Thats good at least you will be busy! I have friends in the construction biz and they all are having a hard time finding work! Yes, keep us posted with the progress.

Women, Guns, Lawyers and money, that should cover it! Nathan should pipe in soon and explain what all we need to do. Bring some of your baits we swap them around, if you don't have any we will resign to drink all of you beer and tell you sweet lies.

I will have my camera ready for that moment when after imbibing and the inhibitions fall away.

Beer, and plenty of it! The rest is inconsequential.

Nathan, has dressed as a woman on occasion, perhaps you and he can discuss the new spring fashions, Dave!

First and foremost you will never meet finer individuals than Coley and Charlie. They were more than instrumental in success of the first two get togethers. And now that this get together is starting to gain some momentum, I sure would like to see them make it and have the opportunity to B.S. with the both of them again. In addition, they fix some of finest table fare your lips will ever meet, albeit from a trash can or not.

Well worth the wait! We need to work on Coley and Charlie make sure they make it, wouldn't be the same without them.

Coley has had enough fun, perhaps Bruce might want to give it a try!

No not that kind of tender, amorous would best describe the moment.

Bruce so good of you to ask! The picture is of one TU finest members sharing a tender moment with Nathan's pet pig at the first TU gathering.

There is an appliance called a hitch hiker that will screw into a plastic bait. The link below pictures a bait with one attached http://www.tackleunderground.com/photos/index.php?n=104

Looks like a fish swimming to me! Nice Job!

Benton B, 730/740 are Heddon #'s

Something you might consider to trim some of the cost of lodging is ask what price break they will give you over the next spot down the road. Being that April isn't the peak tourist season, I would venture to say they will compete to get the business. You might take the liberty to say while negotiating the deal; That you're representing a group that will be attending an annual event held nearby. Which is growing exponentially and has international draw.

Your welcome, should be a real fine time!

Plenty of bushwackers in them parts!

Pete, Many of the battles in Missouri are best described as skirmishes, however many took place in or around the Missouri river corridor known as 'Little Dixie' due to the pro-slavery population in that area. The battle of Lexington,(Lexington Mo. is in close proximity to Kansas City) also known as: The Battle of the Hemp Bales; Left a cannon ball lodged in the courthouse portico, which is still standing today. However the cannon ball was replaced with a wooden ball sometime ago for safety reasons. For some interesting reading that will give some insight into this area during those times. Perform a search on Bloody Bill Anderson, Missouri Partisan Rangers, William Quantrill and Order 11. I have a few civil war artifacts I will bring to the meet in Clinton for you to look at. Dan
