Fifty came by for a visit a few weeks ago. He’s not leaving and more of his friends are coming over soon enough. It’s okay though because I wasn’t dreading his arrival.

The retirees fished Lake Wylie last week with Tony Black and Ned Blanton getting the win with 14.90. John Black and Roger McNeely brought in 11.75 and claimed second. They also had big bass of the night with a 4.30 largemouth. Mack Wyatt had 6.60 and took third. This week its back to Lake Norman.
