[cool][#0000ff]Thanks Chuck. You have come up with a good idea. There are lots of folks on the board who have asked about having some "FISHING 101" sessions...for anglers who either are just getting started or who want to add to their own knowledge base.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]As per our discussion, I will be collecting the notes you make and some of my own stuff into a PDF file document for ongoing reference material. This will probably contain some pictures and diagrams, as well as links to some websites with help on various knot tieing and rigging techniques. We will post that on the board a couple of days before the 7th.[/#0000ff]

Sounds like a good time. I'll have to see whether or not the wife thinks it's a good way to spend our 5th anniversary! []
