Just got back.
Had a blast fishing lake Dardanelle for a day with swimbaits with a new friend. I tried to post a pic of the two I caught but when I re-sized the pic it just showed the corner lol!!!! I can't do anything right on this thing LOL!!! Oh well one was about 3.5 and one was a fat 4 lb fish, it was all I got in the boat. It was cool to get so many hits on the trout bait there (8 in all) Great people back there too. That lake or river was huge

. I wish I could have fished it more. Maybe next year. I am sure you could stick a pig there on the swimbaits.
BTW I am now a member of the quit smoking club LOL!! It's about time. (8 days now)

Now I don't have to worry about making a burn on any more boats

Happy New Year.

Don.

I have quit for so long I forget exactly how long it's been.

Good luck Don, stay with it. By far this is the best thing you'll ever do for yourself.

NEVER AGAIN !!!

Today is my first day without copenhagen.

cant keep the gum lit and the patch rips the skin off my lips. And I am about to strangle the dog for no good reason.

Congratulations Don! The worst of it is behind you. Keep it up!

Yesterday was 17 months without smoking for me. As an incentive for me, I put the money away every morning that I would have spent on cigarettes for that day. At 2 packs a day for 17 months, I now have $5100 stashed away. One more year like that and I'm giving myself a trip to Southeast Asia for a couple of weeks.

Good to hear that you enjoyed Arkansas. I was born in Russelville. It's a beautiful state.
