Hey Stainless (Bernie or Troy? ), naah - that was just some joshing around that got taken too seriously by some. No prob. Thanks.

So glad to have 3 good fishermen with excellant local knowledge to run the F4 event (your suggested springer fishing and a picnic on the Columbia). Thanks for taking up the cause Walt (Gizmo), Jack (Thumper), and Keith (stlhdr1). You guys likely already have your teams in mind but in case not, and I promise not to troll a pink worm around behind a Deep Six diver, please consider me for an F4 team member. I would like to fish with some local river knowledge aboard (I had to miss the only one in Oregon, and I'd hate to get blanked again - but no trash talkin is coming out of this feathered mouth for F4 ).
