Welcome aboard, man! You must be brave if you joined at this time of year

way to go, man!!! I'm kicking myself for not getting out there...had my chance and missed it on Tuesday night, I guess I know you'll be going back now!!

Excellent post, Rick. I would DEFINITELY pay more for a license IF it were guaranteed to increase the number of CO's and their resources. Period.

PRETTY sure you sign over the ownership...plates don't ever get transferred. Local licensing office should help you out.

Good deal!

Put dry, thawed bird in a bag, with no air in the bag to skew displacement, then dunk it to check appropriate fluid level. Or, get two birds. Cook the dry one, then toss the wet one in and film the results for YouTube

:lol: :lol:

I've had the same Shimano Corsair 301 for 10 years now, and it's served me extremely well through a ton of casting, and even reeling a few pike and muskie here and there. A couple weeks ago, chucking spoons off a pier, it didn't want to reel anything in! Wound the line up, took it to Aikman's, and just the other day, got it back! Feels fantastic now...with a couple new parts in it and a tune up. $40 and she's all good to go...not bad, considering I've never put so much as a drop of oil in it...bad I know. But I'll take better care of it for the next ten years. Just thought I'd share how happy I was with Aikman's service...the only thing I wasn't wild about was that I had to call him to find out that it was ready. I kinda thought I'd get a call telling me what was wrong with it and how much it would cost. Instead, I called him, he told me up, it's ready, but when I found out it was only $40, I was willing to overlook it. The guy does good work....just thought I'd throw it out there. JB

Sorry, not familiar with it. Sounds like you should just head over and find out

wow...coming from GCD, that's pretty rough Thanks again Dan...will talk soon!

MY experience with these BRANDS of reels: Quantums hold up for 2 or 3 seasons at best...but they WERE only spinning reels My shimano baitcasters are 10 and 12 years old. The 10 year old one just got a gear replaced and its first tune up...$40. The 12 year old one has never been tuned up, and still runs as smooth as day one. I'm not usually blindly loyal to such products, but, when it comes to reels....Shimano gets my $$ over Quantum every time
