You make an excellant point Mike. You guys that have been around the block a few times know alot. I guess I replied without thinking too much about it. I just figured the guy needed some more tips or advice, although I did think it's a little odd that his deadline is only 8 days from now.
What is the deadline for Rocc us?
There sure are alot of things to think about before you go diving in to writing for magazines like Saltwater Sportsman or any of those fishing mags.

Slipknot,
My deadline is Feb 15th & I had fifteen days to complete the piece when it was assigned. Not an unusual timeframe in this business. Please take a look at my response to Mike & if you feel uncomfortable about anything you passed along to me, let me know and I won't use it. But think about this...when you read a fishing report, say Tony Chamberlain's in the Boston Globe, did you think that he ran around that week and fished everywhere from Maine to Cuttyhunk? Nope. Lots of stuff from lots of folks. It's a give and take situation and I feel fine about having given my share, and then some, of free tips, advice, suggestions and ideas over some 56 years of fishing...and will continue to do so when asked.
