As a word of warning to all of my CFF'ers, a few of my "pointers" for bass fishing the Chick in the month of March may appear in the March issue of Tennessee Sportsman mag.
Are you done laughing yet?
No?
How 'bout now?
Now?
Dammit.
Stop for a minute and allow me to explain. Our dear RSIMMS passed along my phone number to the writer of the article and he called me Sunday evening on the way home from the CBA weigh-in. He said that since I'd spent my 36 years on this planet considering the Chick my home lake, that I was qualified. I got a chuckle thinking about the 100 some-odd anglers I'd just parted ways with at the weigh-in and told him if he'd have called me about two hours earlier, that I could have just passed my phone around the parking lot to a group of anglers that are FAR more qualified than me to actually help pen an article on bass fishing on the Chick.
Take another few minutes to laugh (I'm still laughing myself) ...
Can we get on with this?
Thank you.
So anyway ... after some coaxing, I told him what I (me, Rob, RangerRob, a$$hole Rob - whatever you call me) would do if I were out there in March. It usually works, so I at least wasn't lying. At this point I can only hope that more "experts" were interviewed for the article. He did ask about Dixie Jig Works, so I'll get a minor plug for that (he also asked specifically what crankbait rods I used, so John Miles also got a plug) and it's appreciated.
You've been warned. Go ahead and rib-away now because if I catch any crap from you guys come March, I'll copy and paste this thread to the reply and remind you all that you had your shot several months ahead of time.
And to Mr Simms ... I owe you a swift kick to the tail! emoLaugh emoLaugh
Save your issue though when it comes out ... I'll autograph it! emoCool
