Ray: You may want to have Steve weigh in on this....He did some hats a couple years ago, and may have a logo.... John

I'm still using wire on the big divers, but do run 30lb Power Pro for little divers and jets off the big boards. Very happy with it...very durable. Moss Green, although I think I'm going to try a rod with the new red this year..... John

Erie Pa Outdoor and Travel Expo 3/2-3/4/07 Hamburg, NY 3/8-3/11/07 Those 2 are run by the same group.

I'm running a Penn GTI330 for core. Doesn't take too long for the customers to figure which rod not to grab! Ratio is pretty bad. Had a problem with a washer coming off at inopportune times that holds the line guide/spindle. Quick call to Penn solved that. Got mine on ebay.....

Jim: I don't know how we have run across each other yet....Hooter docks about 6 slips from me at the marina. Will also be in the 2 tournaments. Did you have your boat at Dunkirk last year....I remember a big 'swirl coming in...? John

nyforest: You have the right guy. I remember you,now that you have mentioned it, and yes, my brother did graduate in '81. I was '82. I'm only at Wiley's once or twice a year when I'm at the oak for a few days. Most of the year its here in Dunkirk. John

Thinking about updating my vhf this coming season. The one I have was new in (gulp!) 1987! Seems to be ok, but every now and then someone will say they can't hear me, so I don't know necessarily if it is theirs or mine. Anyway, just wondering what kind you guys run...... John

Stingers are a great spoon on Lake Erie for walleye. If you take some of the larger bait fish that get spit up in the box, the stingers are the closest in size. Spoons like Fishlander and Dreamweaver tend to be a bit wider, and consequently don't see to do as well. I have used them some on LO, but honestly, like some of the other posts, I have a tendency to run the NK's first when I'm up there... John

As some of you may know, Fishlander apparently has undergone some type of restructing. Apparently part of that was a deal that has since fallen through with Bert's. Anyway, I had always dealt with Mike Steffes, who no longer is with them. Fishlander will not offer me a contact number. DO any of you guys have an email or contact outside of Fishlander for Mike? John

Thanks for the replies...I guess I'll just keep deleting them.....

Guys: I don't know about you guys, but I am getting 5-6 hits per day to my charter business from pure spammers. You know, the kind where you won a million dollars if you do x.y.z Does anyone know what I can do to block these or get off their email loop, or whatever.....? Thanks. John

What's the name/color of the base spoon?

Steve: Can this be also with a laser ladder under the glow? John
