    Re: headin to the big o.... (flippedout)

    came home a day early...wind pretty much blew us out yesterday afternoon,and we listened to the weaterman, who said it was supposed to rain all day today...i should have known better than to listen to the weather...very intimidating place on your first trip...lots and lots of small fish..just could not find any of the big ones...was just starting to figure my way around when the weather went south...guess i will try again in a week or so...
