I was hoping to have my first rod built before the gathering so I could have it critiqued, but a problem with the blank I was sent required me to send it back to the supplier for a replacement. So I'll just be coming with a mind full of questions and a thirst for knowledge. I can't wait though. I hit the opening of a new tackle store today, and an annual Spring fling that one of the more well known bass boat dealers in my area have. I've got the fever, and the forecast for the coming week is only going to add to that.

Can't wait for the 14th to get here !!!!

Dave

We are ready for you. I sent an email out to everyone today. I do not have your address though. Has Joe provided you with the location and time?

Bill, sounds great !! The where is Sippo Lake club house, 5300 Tyner St NW, Canton. And I'm sure he told me the start time, but I don't have access to that message we exchanged about it right now. I believe he told 9 or 10 am start time?

Bill, I'll be coming from the Akron area. I looked up the address on Map Quest, and am pretty familiar with the Canton area from my younger days of delivering furniture. Figuring it will take me about 25 minutes to get there.

That sounds about right, It is off of Perry Drive about 1/2 mile North of Lincoln Way.

Being so close you may wish to join us for our monthly breakfast meetings.

Well, they really aren`t meetings, we just meet every 4 6 weeks in the summer and 4 weeks in The Winter for breakfast. We normally have 6 - 10 builders attend.
