Would anybody mind........

[Flaptail]

If On the Water possibly filmed a segment on Plugfest for OTW-TV?

I was talking to Neal Larson and he expressed some interest.

50/50 chance it may happen.

[Bob Thomas]

I can't attend but would LOVE to see that on TV!! Would be great publicity for John's site!

[NIB]

I don't photograph well.

Do they have a wide angle lense??

[Karl F]

will we hafta wear make-up?
some might want their faces tiled out, too

[JohnR]

Up to the members - OK wid me... Anyone in the WPP needs to wear a "Kick Me" sign on their back so we know who needs to remain annonymous...

[numbskull]

Might it dominate the event?

[vineyardblues]

They going to bring a keg of Harpoon beer?
I have no problem then!

Food for thought, oh wise one...nothing numb, in that skull.

[ProfessorM]

you mean I 'll have to shave

[The Dad Fisherman]

Don't bother me.......as long as I don't end up on the Jumbo-tron dribbling Hot Fudge all over myself like George Costanza

[Charleston]

If they bring the Hooters girls

[Backbeach Jake]

If , when the camera swings my way, someone yells
"Jake! Suck it in!!" it's ok by me...

[Raven]

Geez, now i have to rent a tuxedo

It'll be X rated.

I'm not going so I don't care. But I will say this...if you think for even a split second that they're NOT making big $$ then you should go ask for their advertising rate sheet. $700 a month for a 1/4 page ad and something around $3500 for a inside cover ad... Can just imagine what a commercial spot goes for... Again I'm not going so it doesn't matter to me...don't shoot the messenger either I'm just telling it like it is.

[Tagger]

$$$$$ who cares ,,, there goes our 15 minutes

[Slipknot]

Well I DO think for more than a split second that any profit they would make on a short segment on a half hour tv show that only airs in New England on cable anyway, would NOT be huge money. What is huge money anyway? I bet it would be reasonable. I don't see OTW on the stock exchange yet.
It doesn't matter anyway now.
They have big expenses so what is wrong with being successful and getting paid for it, I'm sure it's not a non-profit co. #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& lures makes big money too I'm sure, I know you put out a lot in expenses also but I don't buy it for one second that you don't make a profit either. It's the American way, free enterprise. Ya don't run a business to lose money, why would anyone unless you were the mob laundering cash or something I guess if they choose not to offer compesation for filming a plugfgest event, then taht would be their choice, but the subject of this thread was "would anyone mind?" Unless Flap got some PM's saying someone minded, then I guess nobody did. Oh well, like Tagger said, there it goes. Thanks for trying capesams, but I guess that angle didn't workout. You can voice your opinion all ya want even if it goes against the flow or isn't totally positive, nobody is outcasting you, and also nobody else was looking for a handout, only you I guess. I'm not afraid to voice my opinion either.

If anyone else has any suggestions, by all means post them. Nobody is perfect. Any help is accepted

[BigFish]

I just think it would have been a nice sideline on one of their shows....fun to watch!

[Fin Addiction]

Capesams....I noticed that *Petrel* was gel coated over on the transom repair...This is the perfect time to rename the boat..*drum roll please*....."OUTCAST"...

[UserRemoved1]

Damn I'm rich and I didn't even know it. Can someone move this wheelbarrow full of cash so I can bury Polly?

Point taken Slip. Not what you think and a far cry from a probably $10k or more tv spot that they may get 7-8 different ones each show..I don't watch their show never have time.

Like I said I not going just pointing it out, thread is not about how much I make or don't.

[Flaptail]

This is why I HATE the internet. It's not going to happen, I made the call. Don't know how something that would have been just plain and simple a nice thing for guys to get some exposure and the site to get some recognition turns into a bitch session on theorizing how much money OTW would make, stupid in plain english.

[capesams]

OMG..someone asked a ? and another post's a reply and everyone has a heffer....The tides have alway's moved in two different directions,that's just the way life is.

[mikecc]

It would only be fair if OTW would place a banner add on their site for S-B.
Lets face it . It would not cost them a penny. Both sides benefit.
Your acting like it's CS fault it is not. It is more like a spoiled child not getting his or her way.

[Raven]

nothing saying we can't make our own Movie....

even if it's a you tube ....video

[UserRemoved1]

spam

wow that was aimed at me thanks steve.

I thought posting the stuff would be appreciated by guys. It's a thing that not many get to see. I'll delete every picture I ever posted here if you guys think it's spam.

[Slipknot]

chill a little ok Flap, please don't take it all so serious.

well this thread sure went down the crapper, I hope we can all move on from this and look forward to plugfest. I hope Flap can get past this and come to plugfest as he would be sorely missed if he doesn't go.

Salty, no need to delete pics
maybe if people think it's more appropriate, maybe post them in the sponsors forum I don't know. I know I like seeing the different colors and stuff, it is a little much seeing rows and rows of plugs so maybe those are over the top, I don't know.

you guys want this thread flushed?

[UserRemoved1]

Like I said Bruce it's something not alot of guys get to see. I put that stuff in the plug forum because #1 those aren't "sponsors specials", #2 people keep asking for pics, and #3 because I thought posting stuff like the golden Fire thread was about showing stuff new and neat. THOSE AREN'T EVEN FOR SALE fwiw.

I'm done in here. And I'm not throwing potshots like others. Delete the pics please, delete all the threads if you want. I'll never show pics again in this forum if that's what you guys WANT. I could care less. It takes time out of my day to do this stuff. %$%$%$%$ this

[JohnR]

I think we should take a step back from the negativity in this thread and not take it so damn seriously. Have a little fun & cumbaya and forget the negative for a little while. Come to plugfest to ENJOY yourselfves a bit.


Remeber the Twinkies

Thanks,

John

[ThrowingTimber]

Flap relax dude. you asked a question folks responded. Name calling and getting into this sponsor this and that sponsor that is just making you look funny bud. I know you tried to do a good, but it was one that most folks didnt want done. Let it be No need to get all wound up about it man. You know what they say, no good deed goes unpunished

funny absurd. You ask and opinion. and mine is not the same as yours, so my view is absurd.


On another note, too coold to fish night will have the girls gone wild crew there with a few models that ok with everyone???



And the twinkies will be mine once again this year!!!

[Fin Addiction]

"KUMBAYA" is good....Works really well on some of the sissy fly fishing sites....Before ya all know it you will be... As someone who runs a site like this with a slightly different avenue, I can tell you that the bigger the site gets, the harder it is to please everyone....I think the simplest, easiest thing is take a poll or vote and go from there...
