Hey, if you have some free time on P-Day sometime, my Brother-in-Law manages the bass fishery at Dobson Ranch in Mesa and I could get you hooked up to fish there. Wasn't Peter a fisherman?

Congratulations Elder Sturgeon! Good luck in being a "fisher of men". Don't worry, the fish will still be there when you get back.

Hmmmmm...I like the sound of that MRJ. I will make sure to post my address where I can be reached before I leave. You'll have to write me a letter and give me the hook-ups with that bass ranch...we'll just have to see what the mission president says...Ha!

I guess they couldn't have picked a nice town for you to serve in . I hope you enjoy it there and be sure to keep in touch. I may be over there for the spring fling. Hope I get a chance to meet you in person,.

Dobson Ranch is a large private community and they have a lot of little lakes and ponds throughou the place. All you need is someone to sponsor you and issue you a permit. All the fishing, as far as I know, is from the shore. No water skiiers.

You might want to make sure you can fish on your mission. Some places let you, on P-day of course, and others don't.

[#800080][size 2]S-Kid, good going. There are perks down there that won't send you to spirit prison(hell you heathens). First, Tubedude is nearby. Second, spring training-you miss this year. But, you 'll have two more chances. Is it english(I mean AMERICAN) speaking. How far will you be from the Colorado River Drainage? [/size][/#800080]

Congrats! There are advantages to stateside. I started out in Spain and got sick....I finished in California.....the states have their perks.
My wife's family is all in Tempe. I bet you end up being assigned in at least on of their wards. My wife's home ward is the Corona something. They meet in a stake center right behind Corona Del Sol High School on the Tempe/Chandler boarder.
I might even end up in a place that you'll be. There's currently a good chance that I could be accepting an offer at the ASU Law School.

haha, ya, it's an English speaking mission. I'm not sure how close I'll be to the colorado river drainage however...the mission doesn't really go much more north than Tempe...

Hey Chuck...
Haven't heard from you in a while, dude. Anywho, I don't think I'll be able to make it up there the week before May 5th, BUT I am going to try and head up there two more times before then. One of which will probably be next weekend, and then I will try and come up again sometime in March or April I think. If Utah Lake sucks too bad, maybe we can go get some smallmouths up at Deer Creek or Jordanelle. Shoot me an e-mail at SturgeonKid@hotmail.com and give me an e-mail address or phone number that i can reach ya at so I can let you know when I'll be up there next...thanks Chuck!
