Title: New Jeep and Back home to Georgia pond fishing
Post by: Big J on May 22, 2011, 16:42:45 PM
Well it's been about two weeks since I've been home in Georgia and started looking for a much needed vehicle.  Ran across a craigslist ad for a 2000 Jeep Wrangler with 36,000 miles!  Thought for sure it was a craigslist scam but checked into it and long story short, I am now a proud owner of a Jeep Wrangler.  It has 36,000 miles, hard top, 4x4, and mine  :laugh:  About 3 days ago I bought new tires for the jeep (Falken Rocky Mountain tires)  and it looks a lot more rugged! Jeep looks like brand new and the interior is flawless.

Also got a little pond fishing in the last two weeks.  Probably caught over a 100 fish total in the 5 times I've been.  Been working 40 hours a week cause I have to pay off the jeep and the tires, so most of my trips fishing have been at dusk to farm ponds.  Got some good top water action in the past couple days so I'm content, even though I'm dying to hit a blueline!   b';

Here are some fish pictures:

Cool, man.  I've got an "02 Wrangler.  Mine is filthy and it has more mud on the inside than it does on the outside.

Hopefully I can make a much needed trip to north Georgia and get a little mud on my jeep.  Hard to find Mud in the Atlanta area haha

It ain't much cooler here. Hit about 86 in downtown Brevard today... 4 degrees shy of the 90 record day in 1930 something. Hotter tomorrow.......

I hear ya on the heat wave relief trip.  I'm only hitting the ponds at dawn or dusk, the mid day heat is for the birds!  Still getting adjusted to the humidity.
