Happy Veteran's Day

Ah,its nice to get up at 4 am….to go fishing instead of work. Meeting our Rod Guru Lou Caruso to do some testing and video this morning. Working with Lou is always a pleasure. Any of you guys need rod built or repaired this winter ,you should talk to Lou. Even if it’s just for advice. I have grown to respect his thoughts and ideas very much over the years, he knows his stuff and his prices are really reasonable. You can check him out at http://louscustomrods.com/

STRIPERTHON 2010 is over, done ,caput. We are still waiting on a Penn Torque 5 bailess that we ordered from Penn. So far, it has not arrived but then again Penn has a hard time filling all the backorders. But be assured that you will get it if you win, even if I have to go buy another.

I need a good full day to sit down, get the pictures organized for a vote. I just haven’t had much time with writing for upcoming issue and working on a video. If you ever have time to waste, get yourself video editing program Then , after you spend 30 hours on a 3 minute video you’ll realize why all the editors are balding and gray.

When you make a cast today, change a hook or hug your kid, remember those who perished so we can enjoy the freedom and American way of life.

Liberal, republican, tea party of independent, it doesn’t matter. Our soldiers don’t ask you what you are before they put their lives on the line for you. All they ask is that you respect what they do.

Today would be a good day to say thank you.

Shout to our boy Kevin Robinshaw, whatever part of the world he is toad and Jay Dodd from Jay’s Lure who recently returned from Africa. And every other dude or dudets out there on active or inactive duty reading Surfcaster’s Journal

We are PROUD of you and We Love Ya’

Thanks for all that you do so that our kids can sleep safely at night
