Comments: My husband and I were wondering how old is Charlie Pack. We
enjoy watching his show, even though it comes on at 5:30 am on Saturday.
Response: Charlie is 73 years old. The shows you are now seeing (August
2010) are from 2004, so keep in mind that he was six years younger when
those shows were made.

Comments: I was wondering if Charlie is in good health. I am concerned he
is not well. I hope he is, because he is a nice person, and good for kids. I
know he had health issues, and this Sunday his show on TV was dated
2004. Please let me know if he is OK, or if I need to pray for him.
Thanks, James Mell.
Response: Thanks for your concern. There are two reasons we are running
older repeat shows at this time: the summer is repressively hot, and it is
difficult for Charlie to shoot new shows in this heat. Also, we are running
shows that were never repeated, instead of newer shows that were recently
repeated. Charlie's health is good for a man his age, although he is still
recovering from surgery a few weeks ago. Charlie also had surgery three
years ago, from which it took him several months to recover and shoot new
shows. When the weather is cooler, and Charlie has sufficiently recovered,
he will shoot new shows, as soon as possible. Meanwhile, enjoy a "blast
from the past."

Comments: Dear Mr. Pack: I enjoy your program so much. About a month
ago I watched you and two other men fishing for crappie. You were fishing
in very shallow water with a red striped bobber-rig. I have not been able to
locate one. I tried all area Wal-Marts with no success. I will appreciate any
information you can give me on the rig you all were using.
Thanks in advance, Pat Graham
Response: The red striped bobber rig to which you refer is the tackle
included on Pack's Pole. A plastic bead is placed on the line, followed by a
long slip cork, with a weight crimped on just above the hook. Tie a rubber
band on the line above the bead, to adjust depth (a bobber stopper or a
carolina keeper could also be used). The weight must perfectly balance the
hook, cork, and the weight of a minnow. You'll have to experiment with
hook, cork and weight sizes to get the right balance, but when you do, any
movement of the cork will indicate a strike. If the cork lays on its side on the
water, you're either on bottom, or a fish has taken the minnow upwards
from below. The weight next to the cork can help you get unsnagged, if you
gently drop and raise your line straight over the snag. There is no kit for
this rig, but it is included with the Pack's Pole. Unfortunately, Pack's Poles
are out of stock at Wal-Mart stores at this time.
