auction....incredeble work paul!

I vote raffle. If you sold 100 tickets (which would be easy) at 5 bux a pop they would probably all go tomorrow. If auction, bidders would drop off rapidly when it gets over $150 or so.

Just my 2 cents...

very nice work Paul and very generous of you....Mac, you got it right...raffle @ $5 a pop ...cept make it 200 tix available...I'm in for a bunch :humpty:

You are right Dave. Probably best bang for the buck. I think we should do it at both events, tomorrow and next Saturday and pick it at the too cold to fish nite so both groups will get a chance to throw away some cash. There will be quite a few people who will not attend tomorrow but will next Sat.

I'd love to have a good chance at that vice,, since last time I saw mine was on the roof of my car on BI .. but it is a fund raiser first, sell as many tickets as you can ..

I was just using a random # with the 100. 200 is very doable. Just have a set drawing date (not too far away to keep the anticipation level up) and let tickets fly.

Raffle sounds good. We'll hammer out the details this week. Again - thank you Paul - that "Spare Time" (maybe that should have been engraved) is :drool:

fantastci piece of work! I'm in for a few raffle tickets.

WOW!!!! now that's a stimulus package I can go for!!! I'M IN!!

Talking to the boss at end of show I think it was up to 300 bucks in raffle tickets so far. Good job guys. Still have the too cold to fish nite too and I bet if you ask John he would find a way to let you get in by a PM if you can't make the too cold to fish nite which is where the winner will be drawn I believe.

Great idea Prof. That thing was awesome. You don't have to be at TFCTFN to win?
Your stuff looked very cool btw.

I saw that vise at plugfest and had to get a ticket it's incredible. Great job ProfessorM.

you better raffle that baby,

I am not going to throw this back if I win it!

WOW, paulie!!!

that is sum AMAZING work.

the design is stunning and the craftsmanship
speaks for itself. i especially like the engraving!

i'm in for 4 tix, a RAFFLE will definitely bring down the duckets.
am hoping to mame the tfctfn affair, still working on my pass.
:uhuh: :uhuh: :uhuh:

WOW - I'm not worthy of that, PM! I'm a hack compared to you.

Let me know what the tickets will be and I'm in for some to keep the lights on. If some one sends me a pm with details I will follow through. I've been busy with ACONE's annual conference and trying to find a new location if we have to move in May.

Where do you find the time to make these things on top of all your other things! :D

i'm amazed at how many talented people there are at MAKING stuff. good thing cause i'm only good at BREAKING stuff. its good to have friends that can MAKE stuff. problem is, i break it faster than they can make it. oh well.

Great Job Professor !!:claps:

OK - details are here - sorry for the tardiness :whackin:

You can click on the donate button on the right side of the front page: http://www.striped-bass.com/striper-fishing/

OR Paypal to stuff@linesiders.com - Tickets are $5 each so use a multiple of $5.

PM your name & Paypal email address used, and how many tickets you bought to: SB-Raffle, your name will be matched to tickets for the drawing.

Drawing will Be Saturday Feb 28 at TFCTFN - Feb 28,2009. Last chance to buy tickets is NOON Friday.

Thank you everyone - and again - Big Thanks to Professor Moriarty :btu:

But we will be able to buy tickets at TFCTFN??????

Doesn't sound like it as deadline is Friday. My feeling is ticket sales on vice auction will detract from raffle tickets from table if sold at same time.

I think it is a good move.

Trying to keep them separate

At the beginning of TFCTFN we'll sell a few tickets

Buying tickets online by Paypal will end Friday at noon as in addition to getting the tickets done for the vise I have to get stuff ready for TFCTFN too after I get out of work. We should keep them seperate though overall :kewl:.

I'll need a few at TFCTFN. I'll be arriving with the HESS entourage early on.

John,

Could not get the DONATE link to work.
