Hi All, I just joined the board yesterday. Found it through a link on Outdoorsbest. I really like this board!! Very nice Wildfly! Thanks, Mo Welcome, Mo. I remember you from chasing stripers at Lake Pyramid 4 or 5 years ago and the fliflicker message board. You'll find that the some of the guys aro...

Welcome aboard. Did anyone catch anything down at Riverwalk?

Good luck down there. what a great opportunity. I'm glad to hear that you are pursuing it.

Breakfast with the gang was great and fishing in the rain seemed to hold down the normal Saturday crowds. I ended with 4 four the day, two before breakfast and two afterwards. Thanks for sharing part ...

Looks great. I love the brief little shot of David right at the end.
