Ed Duke with Southern Crappie Rods sent his best and was really happy that the 2 young men got the SCR122T rods.
Special thanks to Slab for putting us all together in one place. I have made so many friends from first reading posts then getting to meet many from all over the country. I had a bunch of folks walk up to me Saturday, before the name tags came out, who stuck out their hands and said "I know you, you're mrdux". Most had never laid eyes on me but knew me thru the forums and still were willing to introduce themselves and shake my hand. That made an old fat guy from KY feel special.
We welcome each and every one of you to our KY Lake ShinDig on November 10th and 11th. The fishing should be really good then and I hope you will consider coming down/up a few days early and sample what KY and Barkely Lake have to offer. There are plenty of lodging options close by to Mike Miller Park at Draffenville. It is only 1/2 mile from the Purchase Parkway. It took us a bit over 4 hours to drive to Enid. Any questions can be addressed to me or any of the KY Lake regulars here.
