I just wanted to let you know that Surfcaster's Journal Magazine Issue# 2 is now live at
Surfcasters Journal (http://www.surfcastersjournal.com)

I think you'll find our tribute to Legendary surfcaster Bentsen interesting especially the cape stories from Chuck Leigh, who is a legend in his own right. Janet has a piece on growing up amongst men in the surf at MV and some of you will particularly like the 50+ page piece on Cutty . There is more but I'll let you see for yourself. I think the cover shot, a drawing of Al Bentsen by Mike Sudal is one of the best covers I've ever seen. Then again, I might be just saying that because I miss Al as a friend so much. You be the judge.

And of course, we unveiled our STRIPERTHON 2010 catch and release contest with thousands of dollars in prizes. For once, you can release the fish and still finish first.

And its all priced right.

Free of course

Enjoy

Zeno, great job in the layout and content of the journal. Sorry I missed you but skiing was awesome!!!Call you soon.

Larry, I know it says issue 1 in the upper left corner but maybe you could go to the middle of the screen and find the words "full screen". If you click on that you should be golden.

I breezed through it and it looks like a great issue. Tributes to Bentsen are well deserved.

I think Zeno's post that the cover was a drawing of Al was a good hint that Issue 2 was in front of you.

with the exception of thethe url issue. Fantastic work, the presentation and the content is of superlative quality, exceeding a majority of commercial content available through out the web.

Clear your browser cache but tilting your laptop to one side, the side opposite the hard drive, and tapping it until the bits fall off the cache.
Then return to the page in question you should be fine, If that doesn't work buy a Mac.

Zeno, the content, graphics and photography in the second issue are brilliant. Period.

Congratulations on another truly impressive creative effort by you and the SJ team!

And an ENORMOUS thumbs up on highlighting the importance of conservation at this point in time with your 2010 Striperthon catch and release tournament...:kewl:

Keep up the good work!

Again, thanks.
Its great you guts like ir. We are trying to make it more of a "Journal' or a life stories then about the how-to's although how to's can be good if done right and spots are not burnt to a crisp.

We prefer to have guys like you write, instead of local celebrities, so if you have any interest (this means you numbskull:)) drop me a line at info@surfcastersjournal.com

Here is the link to Striperthon 2010 STRIPERTHON 2010 :: Surfcaster's Journal Blog (http://www.surfcastersjournal.com/blog/?page_id=1518)

our Catch and release contest in which almost thousand anglers are already signed up for

It’s a free photo/big fish contest that many of you I am sure will enjoy participating in

Anyway, the most important part is that you guys enjoy reading what we put together for you. I am glad we managed to create something just for surfcasting community and I am trilled that is getting such a good reception

Sincerely

Zeno
