Picked up a few at the show and can't wait to try em out. Good luck Eben!

Today is the day I get Eben Eels....:uhuh:

yup.. i will call you in a few :D

Hey Joe i missed u in OTW already.:(

Me too!
Nothing against Thom but you had a much better writing style..
My contact at OTW said it was mutual though so hopefully all is well and you just wanted a change for a while...

and Joe... get ready to move some product I'd bet those Eels are gonna go fast!

Joe, I'd like to echo Bryan on missing you in OTW. Thom's agood friend of mine but I like your writing style better....not that Thom's is bad...just a different style.

Best of luck with the new endeavor! Hanging up your blowing tubes?

Eben,
Congratulations!, and best of luck.:wave:
Great product,and good timing too.

Thanks - I'm glad you liked my writing.

My not doing the OTW Insiders was almost mutual. They decide who is going to write the columns. But I agreed that it was not a good fit for me.

The readership is looking for first-hand advice on not only surfcasting but on boating and freshwater as well. I only go freshwater fishing with my six-year old and given the choice, I'd rather watch TV than go boating - I really struggled with those components. Sure, he's not as witty as me, but I think Thomcat is better qualified to cover the breadth of topics a Rhode Island Insider should.

I like the people at OTW and the NEF - but writers and magazines are not exactly in vogue lately. :rocketem: But I like writing, and I plan on doing more. These days however, I'm more inclined to just write content for my website.

Didn`t Hitler swear by astrology and wasn`t he consumed by it? :usd:

I`ll miss you to in OTW Joe
 

And writing likes you.... Looking forward to seeing more on your website :btu:

Eben welcome aboard and best of luck to you. I agree with John D. your timing is perfect for the eel scare/ rubber craze that is developing.
