These French b*** are always stealing from other countries what's the most beautiful...

For the avatar, I'll do the resizing and e-mail it to you, Scott. Since I have the original picture anyway... I will also e-mail the high-def picture to Keith since you lost Internet access from your home. PS. Keith and others, Scott got yet another stroke of bad luck and his PC is dead (among other things), so reaching him might be a bit difficult in the next few weeks.

You got it right, Keith! Champaign is even better...

Ain't no carp in the Amazon river, Paul. Why do you want to fish out there?

I'm so glad that Fox Int'l finally gave up on their offer to acquire Wackerbaits... I was quite nervous about the implications on the customer service if this transaction would have happened...

More sponsors for the FFF 2005 would also be welcome, Keith... It would actually be quite nice to have one prize per sponsor for each award... Keith, did you speak with Alex about this idea?

You should send an e-mail or PM to an ACS rep like Dave Moore... Try <Dave@americancarpsociety.com>...

Er... Somebody paying more attention than me pointed out that what I suggested already exist... :D Go check this page. So... what can I say... Well done, Jim. I would just suggest that Telfish, Keith, Jbrown and whoever else starting to sell carp angling goods would request their link to be added to this page. And maybe also could I also suggest to Brian to add a pointer to this "carplinks" page in his "pinned" post about this new idea of a commercial-oriented forum? So that empty-headed guys like me will figure out the obvious more easily...

Folks, reacting to Telfish post which got censored (for reasons I can understand!)... 1. many of us have been wondering at one point or another where to buy fishing goods in the US 2. seems that there are quite a few initiatives in this respect from various members of this forum So, in addition to this "commercial corner" forum, I was wondering if we couldn't have an easy to find Web page which would display names, URLs and e-mails of the various folks selling carp fishing stuff. Without any aggressive advertisement, just a bare list (content moderated by forum moderators & our Webmaster). I wouldn't put any restriction on it (e.g. NACA advertisement), the point is more to help carp tackle owners to promote themselves and to help carp anglers to find such stores. I am very convinced that easier ways to purchase carp angling goods would go a long way promoting carp angling in the US. Just an idea... I didn't bug Jim for a change to the Web site for at least a week...

Thanks, this would be much appreciated.

Would somebody bring a copy at the ATC? I'd be glad to browse it a little bit before (most likely!) making my mind on buying it...
