Well thanks very much! Thanks to all those who donated to the cause to make it possible.
And especially thanks to those who caught bigger fish than mine and didn't turn in a slip to John
Saltheart, I will take extra good care of that rod. I'm sure it's perfect for what I like to do, I can't wait to catch some stripers on it. Maybe it will have the right mojo to get me past 40 pounds next year. Ahhh, I love the ditch.
No hurry Saltheart, but I did read today that Big Dave suggested having a jig pouring seminar this winter and he would be willing to participate. Maybe you and smokey could also. I read it on a thread in the Mass forum on SOL. If Canalratt can organize it, maybe I can volunteer to supply the place again unless someone else has a suggestion. J Powers is intrested too. My wifes uncle is a plumber and he said he has some stuff for me
