Yeah ...even using them magnifying cones ... its hard to sight fish for bedded fish on that lake I heard ....

Depends on the water level, recent storm activity and what part of the lake you're in. When I fished an EverStart Series there, some of the lake was muddy, some was stained dark tannic and some was almost crystal clear.

Theo Corcoran from Waterford made the cut on the co-angler side.  Not bad for a guy who fishes out of an aluminum duck boat.   Hope he has a good day today.

apparently dan does not track co-anglers. you need to drive a boat to get his attention.

Yea I figured that.  Since he is hangin with the Classic crowd.  He might not even remember us little folk. The life of an internet mogul.   Jet setting around with the A-listers.

At least we can say we know him.

I bolded his name on the news article?!? Doesn't that count? Not sure if he is a member? If he is, then I definitely apologize, but I don't know who everyone is on here contrary to popular(?) belief. And when I do know, I forget half the time.

Unfortunately... and I'm not even near as old as dartag!!

Go Theo !!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, and Theo gave a HUGE plug to Nemesis baits and Brian McCarter Himself. Should make national TV when this episode airs on Versus. Maybe the price of Nemesis shirts just went up.
