Fishtails

Nice job Jay We gotta get out again this season You got my number.

Pretty damn exciting....I'm really looking forward to this event!

Remember, ya get what you pay for A couple lost dipsey/flasher/fly's and you'll be sorry you saved yourself the money...or did you? Hope it works out for ya, but I'd stick with AFW

Tom raises some good points. My first two copper setups were non level wind Diawa Sealine 400h & 600h reels. They worked very well and never had any problem, you just get used to using your thumb and it comes pretty naturally. The thing you need to watch out for is to not load the reel too close to capacity. If you, or someone on your boat doesn't spread the copper out evenly when reeling in a fish and your reel is close to capacity the reel will get full on one side and jam up before you get the fish to the boat. At that point you hand line it in or thumb the fish back out and crank it back in. Experience talking..lol [ Post made via Mobile Device ]

You seriously have a screw loose Ray What I wouldn't do to be in Key West right about now sitting in Captian Tony's Bar sipping a Key West Ale It was torture to be in the Keys this winter and not make it down to the soul of the Conch Republic. I mean...I love to fish, but there are some serious good times to be had in that town! BTW...I got your chart and still owe you $$ for shrimp!

Ditto...great event! I had a really good time and to all who purchased Big Weenie Brand products...Karen and Gary thank you. I really enjoyed the day and speaking with so many of you at the Big Weenie Booth. It's always great to meet so many new people, as well as see so many friends I have not seen since last year. , even with the 7 hr drive up and 7 hr drive back all on the same day....didn't think I could do it so thanks to those who kept me awake on the drive home by rapping with me on the phone

Just letting you know that so far the main roads have been clear on my morning trip from PA to Lockport. I am at a service plaza on 90 and so far....no problems at all. I will update again when I get to Lockport, but the weather should not be a deterrent....see ya all at the show! [ Post made via Mobile Device ]

Oh boy...I don't remember agreeing to that in our conversation Gary ...I'd never make my Lake O buddies endure such a sight I did ask BW for some 11" white paddles with pearl fishscale tape. Best 11" ever...IMHO...He's sending some to the show Like everything...first come first serve so get there early.

That's funny Dave...I was thinking the same thing I'll call ya at the house Jon

Yeah, Gary better send a lot of goat peckers cause I need some of them myself. That was one of my most consistent flies last summer

I still got room for 1 person, If anyone from my neck of the woods wants to go to the LOTSA show. I'm driving home from Florida on Friday, so I wouldn't mind some company for the ride to NY on Sat and back home on Sun. I reckon I'll be a little sick of driving by Sunday night It's a good chance to get out of the house for a weekend and meet a lot of people from LOU

I thought Karen was sending it last week....see how you are I'll call you this weekend to remind you Gary, but don't forget the door prizes !! Like 10 packages...was that the number Tim? The LOTSA show is definitly a must. I have a 7 hr drive, but wouldn't miss it! All the vendors do a great job!!

So you come on LOU just to argue Has Been ? That's how I read your statement.....not that we didn't all know that anyway. Everyone here would be better served ignoring you (like I "usually" do). You'd just go away cause you'd get bored talking to yourself..... and LOU would be a better place.

A dog debate...I tell ya what Scott, dogs are cheap enough. I'll bring them all

Do they have a bar? I can't stay there if they don't have a bar That's not where we stayed last year, is it?

I like the way you think Tom

Neat pics...thanks for posting them

I'm driving up by myself on Sat the 26th and returning after the show on the 27th. The Big Weenie display takes up most of my van, so I think I only have room for one person. If you want to go along and hang with the BW crew, pm me. I plan on leaving Quakertown PA around noon. [ Post made via Mobile Device ]

Hey Ray, my plans changed and I'll only be in Key West one day on Feb 20th. No fishing there for me this year, but I'll get in three days in the glades, then it's Wekiwa and Disney. We're staying at the Pegasus international on Duval St.....funny, eh? You should head into town that evening and have dinner with us [ Post made via Mobile Device ]

Hey....congrats Scott! I'll be bringing the Nathan's hot dogs this spring....now you can supply the wine & cheese

That is an excellent early season king spoon

I loved watching those clips, they got my blood pumping but putting these shows out in the dead of winter is just plain cruel ! Lots of familiar faces though....really great to watch !!
