I'm first in our group, does that mean I get to gloat.... Yipee, right. OK, i'll go back and hide in my corner now.

I'm in

Very true Rhino, Val Monte should have stepped up and ATLEAST called you Long MIke to tell you to replan accommadations. Extremely poor handling on the part of Val Monte. Returned your PM Long Mike.

Reservations made, form going in mail.

Is their any planned events or just fishing everyday? I haven't made one yet, but hope to make this one.

Where's the best place to buy Costa del mars from?

I have some St. Croix LTB, and some dobyns champs. Both are great, have about the best C.S. around and great warrany's. (don't have the new LTB though) I think the LTB is more sensitive than the champ, but the champ usually balances better. I think that is the biggest differances to me between the 2. Either is going to be a great rod. Try to put hands on both and see which feels better to you(handling wise). It will probably come down to personel preference and which you find a better deal on. I personally give the St. Croix a slight edge, but both brands are my favorite 2 rod companys.

For reels, the curado is a very good reel if your fine with not having a 6.? ratio. The STX revo is a very good reel, i think much better than the sx. Seem like I saw them around $150.00 somewhere. I have both and like both, have had no issues with either, but I lean toward abu's. Rods, I can't get on the loomis bandwagon. I tried their crankbait tods and a nrx, sold all. For a less expensive quality rod, like mentioned above the powell's are great. For a little more than that, St. Croix is a great company and the LTB is a great rod. Most of what you'll hear is personal preferance, after a certain price point most rods do very well and it comes down to prefeance.

If anyone is wanting a St. Croix LTB rod, TW is blowing the older models out. A heck of a deal at $159.00 Thought ya'll liked to know.

USPS,Fed Ex, UPS all around $25.00 give or take a few bucks. I usually use USPS.

I'm selling a Shimano Sahara 2500, I think I have it in the flea market. If not $65.00 TYD. Spooled with new Suffix 832 braid 8lb. Reel is like new.

Wel, I was hoping there was a way to delete multiple at once. There was that option before the new board design. May just have to do it one at a time I guess.

How Do I delete watched topics guys, can't find the option.

Any pics or info on net? I heard they made some changes? Are they available yet?

I've heard the round/pointed jaw also.

got the email a little while ago.

BPS Pro-Q is a great reel especially when on sale(happens often). The Caneen from shimano is a nice reel also for the money. Don't own or used a citica, so I can't say there. From opinions from alot of other guys, any 1 of the 3 mentioned would be a good choice.

For the money, and labor day sale discount I think the Powell will be your best bet. Probably the best rod for their price range and below. St. Croix for that 100.00 mark, consider the Mojo bass. It's not a bad stick.

Has anyone got a email from BTD about a labor day sale? I know TW usually waits till like friday to start, but BTD usually happens mid-week right? Wondering if mine might have got blocked or something.

Do you have to be the original owner for the Steez warranty? I see you said they wanted the original receipt.

I'm thinking of getting a St. Croix lengend elite. TW and BTD don't carry the elite, so I was wondering if anyone else knows of a place that carries them, and that may have a good price too.

Paris area, you got Ky lake and Barkley lake. Not too far down the road is Pickwick, wilson, and guntersville(think I forgot one). All nice, to fantastic lakes.

Just found out Dish dropped WFN in HD. So they could make room for future launches in HD. So glad they saved the cream of the crop HD channels like Golf, Tennis, Food, Cooking, and thank god Ophra.............

Hey guys, just back from Fork last night. Trip cost ran more than expected.(Didn't catch much either)I won't be able to make the trip to moors atleast not for the stay like I expected. May try to come up monday morning for the day though. Don't know If I'll run into anyone though, since I'm sure all will already be on the water. So If ya happen to see a fella in a red triton that looks lost up on those Ky waters, that may be me.
