BEV AND DOT RULE!

[Pete]

Thanks so much for putting together an excellent swap meet! A great turnout, great fall weather, great people, great fun! I'm sure I'm not the only one who had lots of fun seeing old friends and making new ones ... I know it takes a lot of planning and effort to make an event like this seem effortless. You guys did a fantastic job! THANK YOU! :smile:

Fun! Fun! Fun!. Boy did we all have fun. Great demonstrations by several in making lures and how to use them. Several of us anticipated that Mark Anderson of First Cast Jigs would show us a fish with his demonstration, but he showed us that he was a great conservationist and let the fish stay there. Actually I learned a lot from his demonstration.

Those of you who didn't come by missed some real info. and a good time. Who would ever think that Fishin Mission would do his secret fish dance that attracts all those fish to his boat. Boy you all missed that.

Dot and Bev put on a super meet. Those ladies are the best in my book. A lot of hard work and still they made it fun for all. May the Gods of fishing, grant them a full punch card.

Again next year.

Yes, Thank You Dot and Bev. A beautiful fall day. Lots of relaxed folks with a common interest and a chance to win some incredible prizes, too!

This was my first chance to actually match some faces with monikers and talk to people without using 'gremlins' to let them know the intent of my statements :smile:

Thanks again, ladies.

Thanks Bev and Dot for a great show! Great to see everyone - Stew, BOE, Jenny, FishinMission, Hawgcatcher, Hogtide, Artwo, Baitboy, Mr. and Mrs. FirstCastJigs...I'm sure there's more I met and am now forgetting. Sorry. It really was a great time. Excellent demos, food and conversation.

Oh and thanks for drawing Cody's number for the TH rod. It was a very long car ride home. I don't think I'll ever hear the end of it. He's pretty pumped. Great job. Thanks again and we'll see you on the water.

Thanks for a well organized, fun show. Was good to put faces with some of the names on the board.
Came home with 15 more reels and 6 more rods than I left with. Got rid of a bunch of oakies and hooks. And won a great prize to boot.

Thanks Arne

Bev and Dot -- Yes, it was a great event. Thanks. I am glad I made the trip down between soccer games today. I enjoyed listing to Mark Anderson, steelheaders, meeting Jennie, Ryanfish. I only wish I had more time. I am sure they called my number after I left.

[First Bite]

Way to go Bev & Dot. Your extra effort really made the difference. So when's the next one? Lots of fun meeting new people and talking fishing.

Hey Ladies thanks for a great time. I got to see some new faces and some old....

Although I didn't buy anything I learned a bunch about jiggin' and bobberin' and got to meet some fine folks.

Thanx to Bev and Dot for a great "function".

Once again had the opportunity to meet more Ifishers, and connect faces to "monikers".

I think Bev and Dot ought to look into "Event" organization, and planning. They didn't miss a thing.

If you didn't make it...you missed out, for sure.

Sorry to come in late - but needed to convey my thanks for an enjoyable time. Thank you both for your efforts. Also, appreciate Mark's seminar. Let's do it again. Drifter.
