Hi there Jsea,

It was a pleasure to meet you too. I have a new appreciation of the depth of your knowledge/commitment to boating/fishing that I could sense through you and your conversation with.... and that of.... other Allcoast fellow boaters/anglers.

And me .... just hopping on a moo moo for my fishing fix! I'm feeeeeeelin' kinda small ! ha ha

Going to Del Mar?

Jeese John, were you carrying a notebook around to remember all those names??
Oh and I saw you crawling around that 28 footer...

All kidding aside nice seeing you there bud....BTL

It's not the 28 I want.
All I will say is Parker has another BEEEEEEGER ONE on the way.
Heck, even talked to the Mrs about it.

Hey John.....
It was great running into you at the show !!! Louis and I had a great time, visited with Sam, Brian and Lori at the American Angler booth for awhile, talked with Smitty of Smitty belts, and had a great opportunity to spend time with Don and Ginger and let them know just how appreciative we are for their continued support to Badfish !! You guys run a great site here ! Just by chance on the way out, we ventured outside and wathched the "Dock Dogs" what a great show those doggies put on, even bought a "Dock Dog" t-shirt....now if I can just get my little weiener dog to run off the end of a dock into a pool of water !

P.S. Tri-tip and lobster sounds bueno !!! we'll be in touch !!
