For some reason , I occasionally cannot get the screen to come up to reply to threads. this is the second time. I'm using Netscape right now. At home I have IE and I never have the problem.
For Striperman. If you use lots of nicknames , why not drop the striperman one. Just as there is only one #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& (Bill Nolan) , there should only be one Striperman (Tony Stetzko). Since you have several , it shouldn't hurt to leave that one for its original owner.
For John R... we have fished together before but it was about 15 months ago (early April last year). I ran into you and Bill on the West Wall. You can pinpoint the time by remembering when you bought the Mag Elite. I know it was new to you because of the "Crack" sound that occasional came from your line as you tried to throw the small jigs with the new reel. <img src="/Images/Happy_Face.gif"><!--e1--> That must ring a bell? I thought it was pretty ballsy trying to throw those 1/2 jigs with a conventional (I use a spinner for the light stuff) . I have since learned that Bill does it all the time with no problem. Anyway , I'm sure we fished together at least once on the wall. I was fishing the $120 Lami Steelhead rod blank with the Mildren SS guides taped on all crooked with black electrical tape.
