Some thoughts on S-B.com

Maybe we put up a booth at the RISSA show this year. I bet we'd get some new users.

This means we now have to have a wicked packed TFCTFN to pay for a RISSA booth. I can run with this idea if you guys like it.

OK, gotta fly. The job hunt continues.

I with you Rick and you know you can count on me to totally help.

Another Idea: Why not an SB.com Striper, Fluke and Bluefish Tournament all Catch and Release. I am in the Pabts Blue Ribbon Tourney and it's all C&R. Cash first prizes for each species and weekly results get posted on SB.com. I'm willing to bet we'd get a lot of new members.

I think a weekend Block Island Tourney in Early November would draw interest also. I know the fishing hasn't been the greatest on the Block in the Fall but I still do it all alone for 3 days as there is a mystique about the place in November.

Oh and NOTHING involving the Canal. Too many asshats as it's too easy to get to.

I'd be in, at least for a night of that

Thanks Gup. We will need all the help we can get.

Yup, the more the merrier. We can't forget Vic in the picture. My back is actually better than it's been in three years. By the time we have the TFCTFN, I should be back to being a gym rat again. I would enjoy the company in the kitchen, though.

Oh, I didn't Rick. Vic is our main "coordinator".
