We the old Redman is getting ready for what appears to be a good start to the Fall Crappie Season. Temps have been in the 50's the last few nights and we have gotten some more rain to help fill the lake. Told you that I would check in to see how you were all behaving. See that most of you have gotten good marks for deportment.

Have been working on a few new patterns and will see how they work before posting pictures of them. Found a new Cracker Jack Material that I think will beat the Heck out of the tinsel that I have been using. More action and the cost is unbelievably low.

Mold work is going slow have been working steady on one in particular but it is still not to by liking. The only hint that I will give you is if it works out be ready to buy a Shad Dart head mold. You also might need a couple of tubes of J B weld also.

Rest of the news from Caddo Crappie Camp is the fall garden is about planted. The Black lab has a ear infection. Chocolate Lab is in Heat ( one week to go) . Wife's health has been up and down could get more work done if I wasn't making all these trips to the doctor but I love her and have to take care of her. Still haven't taken the time to go out and kill any Teal. Guess I am holding up ok still smoking my pipe and grinning.

Tight lines and hope you feel a thump on the end of your line till the next up date be well and good fishing.
