Check out the new mondo tackle showroom store in lenexa. (see their facebook for the address.) A whole lot of product there that no one else carries locally, and great prices ($6.88 for rc stix anyone?)

There are a few lakes in kansas that are... a bit odd.

By the way, if we were to try and plan a two day trip, I might know a guy on the rock that owns a resort on indian point...

ALRIGHT!!! THE BATTLE OF JERKBAITS AGAIN!!!!! (sarcasm)

I'm related to John- I guess you could think of him as an uncle of sorts. I stay at his resort on table rock once or twice a year, and he's always been able to put me on some spots. He knows what he' talking about.

I'm not necessarily sure to be honest... I've got my eye on a couple of places.

I plan on joining a club this year- not sure which. Hopefully none of the club tourneys interfere with this get together :-/ I went to BPS last night to fight some of the winter pains. They had a bunch of excalibur erratic shad, and strike king football jigs for sale. Ended up buying 12 jigs, and 6 jerkbaits for forty bucks. I'll take that.

I must have bad luck, or no skill. Haven't figured out which yet.

You know plenty.

John is like a half uncle, cousin something or other to me. Anyhow, I would listen to him... Nice to have some family on the board. John, this is Blake Russell by the way.

I try to get better but that rarely happens

Had a nightmare last night; I was on vacation and couldn't fish because of the weather. Sounds pretty similar to current circumstances...

Hey fellas. Sure is warm out there.

Perry #60? Uhuh...

My boat is getting hauled to my dad's garage to take a nap, instead of lacygne. Gotta figure out what all I'm gonna do to her this winter.

that's a helluva van.

The key (and I don't claim to have the key) appears to be remain open to experimentation. It is my temptation to go through the beat the bank motions on Kansas lakes- mostly because it works a lot of the time. I've found that when you are forced to experiment, is when you really grow. Take a trip to tablerock in the summer. You'll find yourself almost having to fish in 20-30 fow if you want to catch fish. What you learn there might not necessarily translate to our lakes up here- but then again, it might. Points are a fine place to start honestly. It allows you to easily visually relate to a piece of structure, since us bank fisherman are so comfortable with what we can see. (After all, open water is scary because all you have to rely on is your electronics and the feel of the bait). Fish all sides of the point. If they're not shallow, move out. Fish seem to like points. Except at perry. I've fished the snot out of em there and never had any luck

Ah yes, that's it. There's more to life than bass fishing. We have really good BBQ in kansas city. Really Good. So good it almost takes the pain away. Almost

You guys might have awesome weather in the winter, and really big bass, but we have...! Uh, well. Hmm. Let me think about that for a minute.

I would like to not suck. But I'm going to work on being confident and having fun. Seriously though, I'd like to not suck.

I like to fish.

I've got a great idea. Let's just keep everything about fishing a secret. Then we'll never answer questions. Or ask them. We can all go back to reading magazines, because we all know how great most of those publications are.
