Well I be a greduat of da unaversete der alerbama

[WTL]

All ebonics aside, I walked last Saturday and recieved what I had worked 5 long years for....a snappy binder. Apparently they mail the diploma out after they shake you down for any unpaid debts on your student account!

Anyways, we did go to Miller's Ferry lake, stayed at the cabins at Roland Cooper state park. The lake was pretty muddy, the fishing had reportedly been poor but I think I did fair enough. 1st half day I only caught 1, but it weighed a good 4 pounds on a Bang-O-Lure. The 2nd day which was a full day I landed 7, lost several on the jump (I mean 6 or 7, all keeper size), all on that old white bladed spinnerbait which seems to be for real on this particular lake. Then I fished a little bit before checkout the 3rd day and landed a small bass on a fluke and split shot, but all in all it was a nice little trip and very peaceful.

Thanks to everyone who sent lures. I just got to Huntsville today, so I already had some waiting on me. If you did send something, drop me a PM just so I know to look out for it...and maybe how it was sent (Fedex, UPS, ??). My Mom was out of town a few days last week so they could be holding on to some stuff.

And now, pictures. . . .
