Hi Slip,

I will check the just received Little League schedule when I get home and reply or PM by the end of the weekend. Gotta do a little reworking schedule with ex-wife and the kids. If not good, would rather have someone be able to plan on it with some advanced notice. Thanks for the heads up. I know you weren't questioning my devotion;) ;)
Gotta have a LEFTY conventional by then I guess.... time for some solicitations in a new thread!

Happy holy holiday to all!

Will you be at the NorthEast Tournament in Crisfield MD on the 26 and 27 ? if so I will talk with you there if you dont want to make the trip north. From what Charlie P has told me about your back casting I think I will be able to help you. Big Dave

Got that day off and very much looking forward to learning as much as I can. I can't even imagine casting all that way across the Ditch. :eek: But would love to learn the skills to at least give it a good try. I see lots of casting practice in my future..:D
See everyone there...

Enjoy!

big dave, i think very highly of charlie's opinion and charlie thinks very highly your opinion. so needless to say i am looking forward to your critic. i also need help with reel tuning.
you can tell from the big numbers at the southest regionals that things are getting rather competitive.
sorry you missed it. bob sales did a great job.

Ralph, if you are really coming all the way up from maryland, then I will PM you the directions. I assume if I just get you from the highway that will be enough right:)

You are a dedicated backcaster

I have PMd Slip and called JohnR to regret my spot in the May3rd clinic. Little League and kids, what can I say? Kids still come before fishing.

Hope to hook up for a clinic in the future. Thanks Dave for your time to put these on.

I have to say that those who attend will get better. I went to the first one. I just got back from a practice session, and what a difference it has made. More distance, and no backlashes this time out. I got rid of the mono, and put some braid on. Thanks Dave you sure are a great teacher. :happy:

Did you try Mike T? I thought he had them. If he doesn't have them , try sending Big Dave an email. He may have some too.

What's the date in the title of this thread?
Pretty sharp for a car salesman;)
you ain't getting out that easy, I have to see you cast across the canal too.

Stroth

Mike T = M&D's right?????

I checked em' out he didn't have em'. What a great shop...wish I discovered it sooner.

At this point I think I am going to fish it with the stock drag. I would actually love it if the thing just exploded in my hand...what a story that would be, well only if i managed to catch the fish I guess.

Tightlines,

Stroth

Unfortunately my step-father passed away early this a.m. He's battled diabetes for well over fifty years and I think it finally got the best of him.

The services will be this saturday. I guess that opens up a spot for someone.

Keep my name on any other list and don't be afraid to rip a good cast for me.

Tightlines,

Stroth

So who all is coming this Sat.? So far Fish Addict, Hammer,and Ralph. And Tobias, Drumcorpfan

You guys signed up for this, here's your chance to make it.

Big Dave, I'll leave it up to you to fill the class if this list doesn't fill up. I'm not sure who can't make it and who will at this point.
