Considering OTW stands a fair chance of making a hefty profit from this Plugfest by filming it or even parts of it to air on their show, a nice jester on their part would be to give everyone that shows a free subscription for a year. Otherwise it become's a one sided deal..all theirs.

BOAT fish do count.

I would say forget it then as they were doing it on my reqest for exposure for Striped-Bass. com. Don't want anyone making a "hefty" profit from an 11 minute segment on a show shown on a Sunday morning. I was talking to Andy from OTW today while we ice fished I will tell him that we don't want him nor do we want him to film any of the beautiful workmanship that will be shown.

Sorry I brought it up.

Why even try.........

If it's ok with John, it's fine with me.
Don't worry about it Steve, most of us are not looking for freebies or pay as extras or anything like that. If they want to do a segment on it, I saw what the heck, go ahead. I doubt there will be much profit on that sort of thing, it might even keep the plug building craze alive.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Capesams, I didnt think the *locals of chatham* thought they could learn anything from the rag....but then again if your boat sits in your driveway for a year while you nurse a nut I can see how the mag would be a good thing...

I guess voicing one's opinion about any subject unless totally positive and doesn't go with the flow of the crowd is an outcast,, you'd think I'd be asked to go stand out in the hall all by myself.....Well! guess how many other's are standing out there It'll be up to those in charge as to what goes on there....[bless them for all their thankless work] the rest of us who are standing outside the room will still go reguardless.

Thanks for making the decision for S-B.
A simple poll (yes or no) would have given an answer.

It's up to you guys. I think it is a shame, that with the quality of work you all do to have it showcased on TV would be an apt vindication of what you all do. I don't need it to be a showcase or infomercial for S-B (sure a little mention would have been nice ) but YOU guys are the artists, YOU guys would be the "stars"... So that's all up to you.

If its off then its off - we'll move on again to PlugFest. I think some of you missed an opportunity to have your craft shown in a different light on a different medium. But not exactly the end of the world either Your work still speaks for itself here and in the water - where it counts....

I vote no.

Last time I checked this site didnt need any "press" We run plenty of raffles etc to raise dough to keep lights on.

Will I also be chastized for my opinion as CS was?

If your work speaks for itself, dont interrupt it

Domination takes full concentration..
