OK. Got you on stand by. Let me as soon as you can.

The get together is now a compition...Myself and my crew wouldn't mind fishing in this..Maybe this can be the start of some local tournaments...Gman if you need a ride we can take a couple more on the Swell Rider..Since we fish out of AB/MHC most of the year we have a few honey holes for some big AJ'S

No room for more boats? Sounds like this is getting better. I brought up the idea before of a friendly tourney. Ken got room on the sled?

[Sea Draggin]

Of course more boats are welcome!!! If you've got a boat and crew, come on. I just have limited space with the folks that have voluteered their boats initially.

I think it may be the start of a tournament. But right now I'm not interested in doing lie detectors and insurance and everything else it would take.

Ken, I will make sure you get a registration form. Will Mike be riding with you?

[swell rider]

Jim,

Thanks, Zacks a good friend of mine so if he has the reg forms I can grab one from him I see him on a pretty regular basis since I run my business in AB/MHC..If Mike needs a ride he's more than welcome to fish with me as is Glenn..Right now it's Myself, Travis and Maybe Jackie" Merry Marlin" if he's down east that weekend..Ken

[Sea Draggin]

Sounds like a plan. Have you checked out all the jigging stuff EJW has now? They have it going on!!! They have the Shimano Trinidad 40N's which are beautiful reels. Almost make me want to sell my saltigas. Almost.

Have you guys already picked who's on what boat?
