Bob and Mike-

If we want to put this school together let's talk. I am thinking of this:

let's organize mike from MI 22 and one or two of our guys. We need to come up with a class fee and class schedule so to speak.

i was thinking of having two guys that are always on the water (4-6 days a week) or someone like that that is willing to help out in lieu of free advertising/promotion.

A comprehensive class off the water. We can bring in rods for rod selection, reels, lines etc....

maybe have some proficient guys on lures and how to use them to make fish strike

then some guys that know where to find them and when to find them there. I am not talking about a guy that targets a fish that is found in the same place and he keeps catching him over and over. I am talking about having successful good/great anglers that can find the meat when condiitions warrant a zero catch. A guy that follows weather patterns, bait trends - essentially the whole nine yards. let's give people something for their money. afterall, we are really targeting people that never muskie fished and new members to muskie fishing.

Ray at the sportsmens center is highly qualified to handle an in depth discussion on reels, their gear ratios, leverage etc... and what is in stores for us to look at. probably no one better than ray. i am not kidding here.

This is what I am workling on and why we need to move:

The New Jersey Angler Magazine will grant us an article to promote the two clubs and the program plus the school and what we are trying to gain from it in JUly's issue. Problem is that the deadline is Monday June 7. we would need a date, place, fee etc...for the article.

I am also working on a room from the state parks dept. where video can be played, chalk board is available etc...basically, a classroom setting. Thing is, the state charges 175 bucks to have access to a park or pavilion for special use. I am trying to get some people i know to get us a room at no charge or in lieu of promotion in the artcile and press releases. The date needs to be set so we can reserve a room.

why is this message so long, i tried to find your email and i will have trips each night this week from 4 til 1am.

i have no time to talk this week to discuss. this is a good place

i think i got it all

thanks
