Great articles this month by Charlie Soares (Danny Plugs), Got Stripers (rubber), and Joe Lyons (surfcasting), I imagine the others are good, but just read those three after checking the mail box!
Bob, hope you have plenty at the MassBass show. And nice to see they gave ledgerunner baits a mention this month.

Karl, whats the Mass Bass show?
I printed a list of shows from the OTW webpage and I don't see that one..??

Has a date been set for Mass Bass Show yet?

tattoo's been gettin a lot of publicity there lately, hope it's good for business

MSBA show, I think it is the last weekend of March...Big Fish, Basic Patrick??? Let us know, Please.

msba show March 27 and 28 independance mall kingston .

ya know it must be nice to get yours so early . Ill get mine next week sometime . Man I have to move closer to the water .

Are there usually good deals on stuff at these meetings?

yes and a good way to loose the cob webs from winter . I dont buy as much as I chat or win door prizes . LOL

if you get there early and hit the right booth all the habs you want . 3 letters will do ya Come My Striper

A good time. Conveniently located in a shopping mall that would make the missus happy. Also ... food court. Lots of stuff to listen to, ogle and buy. What more could you ask for?

And, ChrisL will have his own booth. He'll be there in his Santa costume, and you can sit in his lap and take a picture. :bshake:

Hi Chris L,

I live just across the bay from Falmouth where OTW is published and don`t get mine early as you would guess.


I could get it faster over the counter but the cost is so much higher.

Mike

I've not got my copy yet, but I'm happy to hear part II mentioned my company name. I took inventory today and poured some baits, as I'm going to need much plastic for the 3 day RISAA show on 3/5 thru 3/7 and then the MSBA show. I'm hoping that the RISAA show will be similar and from all reports it might be, so these should be two must see shows. I'll be hooking up with Don from King Cove at that show, which will be a treat to be with a friendly face.

So far I've only read the Danny article and it has to be one of OTW's best, however it does have good company.

Anyone got an original Danny thats getting the way?

Chris

The dates are in place for the 2004 MSBA Spring Fishing Expo to be held once again at the Independence Mall in Kingston, Mass. March 26 (Friday) is the set-up day for vendors. The show days open to the public are Saturday March 27 & Sunday March 28. Details of the show, times, entertainment, etc., will be made available as soon as they are available. So put these dates in your calendar books for spring, this is and will continue to be the best fishing show in New England. So if you missed it last year, don't be a jack&^$ and make sure you make it this time.:thanks:

I haven't got mine yet

:confused: :confused: :af:

Ok, been way behind on my reading lately... Finally caught up.. great article on Dave, Slip et al. Great to see you guys get some press... envious of both of your abilities... Keep up the good work...

Charlie Soares is one of the few decent writers in that rag. I enjoyed his article

Hey Krispy, what is your problem? Really. Don't hold back pal just let it out. Say what you gotta say. If you don't like the other writers in that "rag",why don't you do up an article, you know, a how to or share your technique etc., What's up with all the pent up hostility? :confused: :huh:

it must be that time of the month for poor old krispy or maybe its working in manhatter NY

Krispy is grumpy today.

FWIW, OTW has the The Fisherman waxed and booby-trapped.

It has to be the most well-rounded (surf, inshore/offshore boat, fly, fresh/salt) regional fishing periodical in print, period.

Except for the guy who writes the Cape Cod column. He has issues. :laughs: :p :bshake:

all I keep reading are subtle sales pitches, one after another. from a number of authors. I guess thats well rounded :(

Tunnel vision I guess. Taken as a whole, the rag has plenty more to offer than some of the not-so subtle sales pitches in the Fisherman, which is all advertising anyways...

I dont even bother w/ The Fisherman

and dont forget the BIG BOAT contest .
I am courageous cat

This is pretty subtle advertising, no? :laughs: :hihi:

One day at a time...Steve :p

Steve,

If you give me one boat and one house will that help lessen the burden any?
Also you should feel lucky you have a good friend like Manzi.

Email photos of houses and boats please.

Here for you,
Mike

I actually got mine the friday after turkey day good readin with leftovers. Charlie Soares brought up some old memories of anglers passed very good article.Flap as a artist U should have thicker skin.Plus U gotta deal with dave on a regular basis.An he is humped over from hittin his head on so many door frames.

:D That's the NIB I remember:laughs:

On the Water is a great magazine and Flaptail`s writing is strong and compelling even within the limited parameters of the column he provides.


Go Steve and OTW!

critics love to criticize ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SP:btu:
