Default Hello eveyone

I have been a member for this forum for a little over five years, so I thought I would take the time to reintroduce myself to everyone.
Well since the end of April '09 I became a statistic of unemployment. Laid off from my job as a superintendent for commercial construction, I no longer work the 60-70 hour work week. And now I actually have time to go bass fishing more and put less time on the honey-do-list.
I caught this bass at the local golf course pond a couple of weeks ago, 18”, 4lbs 10oz. in the middle of the afternoon on a 7" salt slinger (watermelon seed) and 3/0 EWG 1/8 0z. weighted hook.
I sold my boat when I left St. Louis, it's strange to shore fish now and watch out for gators. LOL

Thanks guys. More time to fish is right, I am taking advantage of that right know. lol
I'm not worried about not working, things are starting to adjust and come together in the construction world.

Construction and tourist attractions go hand in hand, down here in Orlando. I heard Disney is remodeling there whole downtown area, but won't start remodeling until the end of the year.
