Bill Stevens has sent me an email and advised
Swampland will donate one XP3 blank to a winner of a random drawing at the gathering. He did request that any winner of the blank that they "not subject it to the Tee Nintsy Guides of the Flea"

Speaking for the flea;
And based on his communications with Mr. Stevens
I think the only blanks identified as ones adverse to flea rings are the 905 and the 874!

Thank you Mr. Stevens for your generous offer also
The flea will let you know which blank he would like after the drawing

I hate that I can’t make it, but I have a 2 day, points and a half tournament this weekend. If I don’t go I won’t make the Federation 6 man team for my club. Everyone have fun for me.

Mike;
I understand that, if your clubs like mine it’s a tight race sometimes. We just completed our six man two weeks ago. Our six man team came in 6th out of 32 teams. I personally came in 59 with 58 going onto the state finals, besides me as the bubble man 4 other guys on my team qualified.
Which state are you fishing in?

I will miss you

NC western region, they had the 2008 tournament a few weeks ago at Hickory. This is my first year fishing tournaments, and my partner and I are tied for the last spot on the team. Hopefully this weekends 2 day points and a half tournament at Clarks Hill will move us up enough to lock both of us in for next year, we only have one tournament left on our season. I am also fishing the Savannah River division of the BFL, and am well up in the points to qualify for the regional. Fishing out of Asheville the Savannah River lakes are our staples with Keowee considered our home lake.
