Editor's CornerHappy Valentines Day!! First off, a hearty welcome to all of the new subscribers to the newsletter. This has been a good month for the newsletter, and I just want you all to know that we are very happy to have you on board.I've been working really hard on the site since the last newsletter, even though most of the changes are programming changes vs. cosmetic changes. There are lots of new things and new advertisers, so make sure to check things out and make sure your not missing anything! We have also taken out a number of print ads this month for the site, a trend that will continue throughout the year. If your not advertising with us now, better get on the stick to get the low prices we now have going. As the traffic increases, so will the advertising costs. Lock it in low now!I'm feeling good about where the site is, but I am also feeling like I'm running a bit behind on some things. I'll keep doing my best, and thank all of you who have taken the time to let me know that you like the site. It really means a lot. Well, read on, and enjoy. I hope you'll all check out the new things on the site and as always, please let me know if there is anything I can help you with or that you would like to see on the site.====================================================== What's the difference between a fish and a piano?You can't tuna fish!

You will also be able to find all of Gene's LakeTawakoni.com tips in the Fishing Tips pages on the site. February 2000Lipless crankbaits and spinnerbait's during February are popular on just about every Lake in Texas. Like most bass fishermen, I prefer to cast these baits with a medium action rod due to the ease of casting and if a fish is just sucking at the bait you seem to have more hookups. Try this next time your working either of these baits with a slow retrieve and you can feel the fish nudging your bait every now and then but you can't seem to get a hookup try switching to a medium heavy action rod. The stiffer rod will let you feel your bait a little better and it will help detect your strikes faster and with the stiffer rod you get a better hook set if the fish are pushing the bait at you.Good fishing.

This Months Funny(A Valentines Day Special) Country Style Romancin'-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Kudzu is green, my dog's name is Blue, And I'm so lucky to have a sweet thang like you. Yore hair is like cornsilk, A-flapping in the breeze. Softer than Blue's, And without all them fleas.You move like the bass, Which excite me in May. You ain't got no scales, But I luv you anyway. You're as graceful as okry, Jist a-dancin' in the pan. Yo're as fragrant as SunDrop, Right out of the can.You have all yore teeth, For which I am proud; I hold my head high when we're in a crowd. On special occasions, when you shave yore armpits, Well, I'm in hawg heaven! - I'm plumb outta my wits.And speakin' of wits, You've got plenty fer shore. 'Cuz you married me, back in '74. Still them fellers at work, They all want to know, What I did to deserve such a purty, young doe.Like a good roll of duct tape, Yo're there fer yore man, To patch up life's troubles, And stick 'em in the can. Yo're as strong as a four-wheeler, Racin' through the mud, Yet fragile as that sanger, Named Naomi Judd.Yo're as cute as a junebug, A-buzzin' overhead. You ain't mean like no far ant, Upon which I oft' tread. Cut from the best pattern, Like a flannel shirt of plaid, You sparked up my life, Like a Rattletrap shad.When you hold me real tight, Like a padded gunrack, My life is complete; Ain't nuttin' I lack. Yore complexion, it's perfection, Like the best vinyl sidin'. Despite all the years, Yore age, it keeps hidin'.And when you get old, Like a '57 Chevy, Won't put you on blocks, And let grass grow up heavy. Me 'n' you's like a Moon Pie, With a RC cold drank, We go together; Like a skunk goes with stank.Some men, they buy chocolate, For Valentine's Day; They git it at Wal-Mart; It's romantic that way. Some men git roses On that special day From the cooler at Kroger; "That's impressive," I say.Some men buy fine diamonds, From a flea market booth. "Diamonds are forever," They explain, suave and couth. But for this man, honey, These will not do. For you are too special, You sweet thang you.I got you a gift, Without taste nor odor, Better than diamonds; . . . It's a new trollin' motor!====================================================== You Just Might Have a Bad Apartment If: It's the same bedroom you had as a kid, but now your parents are charging you $450 a month.====================================================== IX.
