Fleet farm has great crawlers, caught two 5.5# smallies last week (I caught one and my 10 yo daughter caught the other) on 6# test and a crawler.

Tom, looks like you made an awesome choice. (Color me jealous.) Good luck fishing and please post some pics when you return.

Thanks Goat!
What weight line do you recommend? I have heard different advice.  Also what color jigs?  We will only have minnows and worms. Evidently the leeches are not sold the rest of the time we are going to be there (according to Amy).
Thanks!

TomM if I may --- it's time to kick back, relax, enjoy it for what it is!  You don't have to catch any monsters or lunkers to have a great time.  Don't over think it, don't over analyze it, (sometimes you can do that  ;) )  Go with the flow, leave your expectations in Wisconsin, and enjoy it for what it is.  No regrets!

Sittin' in the morning sun
I'll be sittin' when the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
Then I watch them roll away again, yeah

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
Cuz I've had nothing to live for
And look like nothing's gonna come my way

So, I'm just gon' sit on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

Looks like nothing's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same, listen

Sittin' here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone, listen
Two thousand miles I roam
Just to make this dock my home, now

I'm just gon' sit at the dock of a bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

Taking a book along.

Good man. I love you guys; but sure didn't miss you. Nice to think about nothing or fish, that's it. I needed that.
If I agreed with you we'd both be wrong.
