Life has been a bit crazy and I hardly got to go out at all this summer, but settling back into a better pattern now and got the student angler club out to Echo. This was a bunch of brand new members. Perch bite was fantastic and a bunch of new anglers got to catch there very first perch or smallie on mixed tackle including tubedude gear ( jigs). Nice when the fish put on a show. My regulars were tied up but they will be back with me soon. Handed out some prizes that were donated but I can't remember if I asked if I could say his name ( not tubedude but his dontations are getting into the hands of a new bunch of excited fishermen this fall). Anyway you know who you are and much thanks. If you want to identify yourself i would

cause you deserve recognition for helping the club.
And I have some girls in the club this year. They have a lot of stuff going on so not sure how often we will see them but I hope a few times
Got a short video of the newbies tearing some water up.
Will get out more this fall and have some updates

I was wondering if you had been having some fun with the goodies. I’m sure you are putting them to good use!
So glad to hear you are getting the young anglers out! Feel free to mention where it came from always happy to get our young people out enjoying the fishing and outdoor opportunities we have. I appreciate your efforts in showing them the way! I hope they are enjoying going through it and putting it into action to catch some fish. Makes me happy to see it getting used and enjoyed, keep us posted!
Mildog out!
time spent fishing isn't deducted from ones life

Keep it up you two, great legacy to help young people getting involved in all things outdoors, so much better than the activities some young people get involved in.

Waytago! Good to see you getting out again...with some new recruits. Even better to see them pulling fish out of the water.
Happy to hear my old buddy Mildog is chipping in some goodies. Now, no matter what the fishing situation, you will have it down Pat...or Patrick.
Did you replace your truck? With what?

Hey Mildog they loved the gear and yup the keep picking up tons of fish on your stuff Pat. It was a slow summer with me being truckless. Hardly got out myself or with the club but I did pick up a 2015 GMC and am sorta getting back on track until yesterday up in the uintas when the transfer case stopped working on the GMC. Uggg. I no Wana new truck payment but with buckwheat in his chair and his mama and her MS I can't really have an unreliable rig out high country adventuring.
