Hi Jer

Buddy Thanks for the great info.
Buddy sorry for only replying only now. I was in the sea and under the sea and in the air and in the Jungle for the past 2 weeks with very little time near a net link.

Being on the ass end of the world and having to deal with the read tape of getting good, spares and fishing gear from n broad to where I what it to be is always a huge challenge. To Have a web site that could supply every thing that a “fishing freak” like my self would wont is I suppose is not a reality but I sure with the connections and friendships that “Sportfisermen.com” has build up during it’s existence it could help a maniac like me and I’m sure in time I will probably eat my words.
Great Job guy’s you are really heading the right way with this. Jer thanks for a fantastic site and thanks for all the advise and story’s it dose put a smile on my face some day to see that there are guy’s out there that are as mad as I am about fishing, it not always easy to pay for all the things I wanna do or buy but I’m getting there very slowly.

OK Buddy I have to run I’ll catch you latter…
