I'd be up for a OFF fishing meetup, too! any size to those bass? I ask not because I care so much as I want to know which gear to use. If they're 8 inchers, then my ultralight gear will be fun, but if there are 5 lb-ers around, I might want to bump up a class.

thanks, that was exactly the tip I needed! Wonderbread huh? gonna go out and catch me some duck... er, carp.
