A-TOM-MIK

UPDATE: After a thorough inspection of the pens today I noticed a bit more wear than I would of liked to: 1) I have purchased enough steel mesh screen to replace 6 ends out of 4 pens. We will need to remove the existing old steel mesh which was riveted on. I purchased a few hundred self drilling screws and washers for adhering the new mesh. The self drilling screws have a 5/16" head on them, I picked up 3 drill sockets in 5/16 but we may need more 2) I also picked up a few chisels in case we have to chisel the old aluminum rivets off for a better fit of the new mesh with the new screws, a few more chisels may also be needed, I have a couple hammers but a few more of them may help as well. 3) The fabric nylon mesh on top of a few of the pens I feel can be mended one more time to get us through one more year, I have plenty of zip ties don't forget your cutters. 4) I bought some new ropes we'll have to check all ropes as well 5) The one thing I couldn't find today were the large bolts needed to hold the doors in place, these are various sizes from -I'm guessing 3/8", 7/16", 1/2", 9/16", to 5/8"- and they vary from 2" to 3 1/2" long, we would only need a few of each So to add to the list: Chisel, hammers, 5/16 drill sockets, large bolts Tom

Oswego east side Charter Marina (End of Rt 481) HELP NEEDED Required items needed if available: Gloves, wire cutters, cordless drills, pliers, crescent wrenches(for 3/4 to 1"), utility knives Tom 315-207-0391 [email protected]

Important Updates: Entry and Rules Rules are now live https://www.facebook.com/notes/oswego-pro-am/2013-oswego-pro-am-rules/546344558738618 Much time has gone into much of our subtle changes: Rob Ripka, Tom Burke and myself have conversed amongst each other and with many anglers for advice for a while now, we feel we have them the way we want them at this time Important Note: It is a goal for us to attempt to pay out approx. 97% of entry fees, we will have several options to collect entry monies. 1) Through the existing Pro/Am web site (CC) 2) By check made out to "xxxxxxxxx" TBA 3) Cash We can not get around administrative fees if anyone chooses to enter online through the Pro/Am website, however we can get around them by registering via option 2 and 3, This could hinder payouts as administrative fees are pricey

If you don't find these anywhere I have 1 set(pair) NIB Ill take $90 and will ship, or $85 pick up PM00472 (Without looking these up I believe this is what they cost me) as seen here... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Big-Jon-Single-Planer-Pulley-PM00472-/200661167901?pt=US_Tracking_Devices&hash=item2eb8566f1d Tom

The rules have been set, if there are any major discrepancies that we might need to take a look at we can do that, once proofed by several people we will have them open to the public, hopefully early next week I will have a link available Tom

Sounds great Rod, the Oswego Pro/Am will be honored to have you and I am confident at this point the AM's will exist in Oswego. We will plan on your participation as well as all others who have said they would play a part !!! Its exciting for us to hear all your guys eagerness, keep it coming..... please (: Pretty sure we have secured a title sponsor for Oswego and cant wait to reveal when it is 100% Thanks Rod for your planning in the Invitational as well, I hope I get to hand you some more cash again this year Tom

Sounds good, glad to hear, if all goes as planned I think the Am showing will be respectable

A-TOM-MIK is now manufacturing our own upgrades for 1/2 weight keels for otter boats, Our price is $59.95 per set of 2 I have to admit my total cost for this project is pushing $2000, once I add in FET and consider the fact I may be shipping them free as 72% of my online orders are over $150/free shipping Leaves my profit at about $12 per set after taxes (God I love the profits in the fishing business ) 1 aluminum Keel including all cuts, bends, holes & counter sinks, then powder coated 14.82 (if I purchase 100, 16.98 if I purchase 50) Weight including cuts, taps, miters, powder coated 2.81 Stainless hardware, nuts, bolts, washer, rope .58 need 2 per set total: 36.42 FET 6.00 Total cost per set $42.42 (added in the 33% our good ole Uncle gets out of me in the end) $17.53 -33% (Under a $12 profit) But it is a go and I will have them in hand in 2 weeks, I sold plenty last season so I hope I sell plenty more this season Tom

A-TOM-MIK Bring Cash !!!!!!!

For this year I do not see an open division I sent out almost 130 requests via E mail to anybody and everybody I knew or to those who requested to be polled Think I got about 60(?) responses back Off the top of my head I think I had 4 to 6 responses opting an open division, several of which noted they would fish the Am if it was available It was a judgement call between info recieved and between Tom B and I as to what would represent the event the best The decision was to shoot for a Pro and an Am at our first try for this We truly are sorry if our event hasn't catered to a potential team that wanted to play a part Tom

Had a friend tell me about thee these the other night, never saw them but they look good, will have to stop by and grab a few Guess maybe I do live under a rock during the off season Tom

UPDATE Still moving along daily, an attempt will be made to host the Am's as well at this point as more potential Am teams have now come forward I had a great meeting this am and the location has been secured by "Oswego Born" Shane Broadwell behind the Quality Inn on Oswego's east side Shane has been a great sponsor to the Oswego Pro/Am through the years Shane will also take care of our tent, present a stage, have blue bowls and garbages taken care of as well as a monetary sponsor for other things we will need to help us come as close as possible to paying out 100% of entry fees (Our intention) THIS IS GREAT NEWS He also mentioned possibly having hotdogs and hamburgs/drinks available for sale Sweet !!!! Tom

I sent an E Mail to your address for our team to be in and it was sent back? [email protected]
