Habu,
The FnQ's got to be a bit too much with the raffles, sponsors and the politics I ran into. I'll post up get togethers I'll be having with a few fellow anglers where others here are more than welcome to join us if they wish. We'll meet and fish, exchange ideas about rigging and the sport as a whole, and have something to munch if there are facilities closeby. If someone wants a jackpot and wants to help run it, thats cool but I never have felt comfortable making financial participation in a jackpot/contest a necessary part of being welcome to spend the day with us, and don't think I ever will
The Islander trips sound cool, but I have to save my

for an offshore kayak of some type. Probably one of the Prowler 15's. Lets wet a line soon,
Perry
