Hi there tubeN2,
Wow! $750,000 for 3 months! Boy they must have some kind of overhead for things to total that! Maybe they're paying back whatever!
Anywhat congrats on your favorite lake surviving at least a little longer. What happens to poor little torpedo and sidekicks if the lake closes?

Hey JR! That little $750,000 seems pretty close to reality considering that they used to operate on a $2,000,000 per year budget. But the county is looking for a little bit more help than just a little "get out of jail free card".
They are looking more for the long term help which would be necessary for the continued operation of the whole facility. Rather expensive as we can see.
As for Moby Dick, Tommy Torpedo and Cousin, I will have to figure something out. Hey, do you know any tackle manufactures that want to make the claim of their stuff getting even the most finicky LMB that was created???? Just think they could make the claim of the new state record and possibly the new world record was caught on their stuff. That would surely put all of those other dudes into the thinking chamber for awhile trying to redesign.
Just a little food for thought. If is comes down to a final closure of my favorite spot then I may have to come up with a different plan on method of catching. You ought to come up here some day. I'll show you Tommys tactics. That ole boy will sit and stare at whatever you can muster up to present to him. I have entertaind him for about 20 minutes straight before he just did an about face and swam off.
One picky dude. He is one of the types that if you get too close to him with anything, then he will either swim right past it or take off in the other direction. He likes the show but doesn't want to be messed with.
One day I will have to mess with him to the point of submission.
