Sorry partner.
Didn't I mention you were the netsman of the group!
That's ok, I will net my own (big) fishes if you don't want to help out of petty jealousy...
Petty's fair enough but jealous?
How many nets are you bringing then??
Iain.
-
Not for long... I hope!
Sorry partner.
Didn't I mention you were the netsman of the group!
See you at Logan Thursday 0700 sharp.
Iain.

ok so you have Scottys order......
what are the rest of you all gonna eat ?
Mark
S'obvious.
After that lot his ticker will ding and we barbecue him.
Iain.

Any special situations please PM me!!!
Neil
I know you're very busy but I do have a "special situation" you maybe could help with.
In a nutshell, I need someone to arrange for 56 carp anglers to blank on Town Lake in Austin for a couple of days in late March.
Jerome Moisand has said he'll do what he can but it would really help if I had someone "local" to sort this out. Any chance??
Iain.
p.s. Don't tell Scott otherwise he'll shorten my odds and bang goes the "buy a lake and retire" fund.

Bob,
Knowing "those people" eh? Wow...I guess sterio-typing isn't obsolete..
Scott
Maybe Bob means "those people" with normal knees who catch bigger fish than him??
Iain.

WTG Continental Airlines!!
See you in TX Vinny.
Iain.

Iain, this might be a good time to consider 3 peice or telescoping rods..
Neil
You could be right. I may look into it after the ATC but I wonder does anybody actually make a 12 or 12.5 foot 3-piece (or telescopic) that can handle 5oz leads and big licks?
Iain.
-
Good ole airline prices man, do you get KY with that rate ?
Dean
That's funny......though for the price I'd at least expect the new "hot stuff" version!
From the recent posts it starts to look like all the airlines have changed to this new policy. Looks like my fly-carp touring days will soon be over!
Iain.
-
This 62 inch length is ridiculous !!!!
Looks like I'll be on the phone today.....doubt if I can make it better, but I sure as heck can try !!!
Thanx Neil
Tell 'em your organising a prestigious nationwide/international fishing tournament......which you are!
BTW, at least for American, that 62 inches refers to total (i.e. length+width+height) not actual length.
If anyone calls their airline before me ask 'em what they do about skis and snowboards? I can't believe they whack all the winter sports types for an extra $160........it would be commercial suicide in the winter.
Iain.
-
This sux.
I agree Scott
In my case I don't even have the UPS option as Tracy and I will be in the UK until a couple of days before Jerome and I fly to Austin. If they really do hit me for $160 then I'll have to pay......but I'll never fly American again and will let them know it.......and I do a lot of longhaul flying!
Incidentally, I brought a 7 foot Flambeau tube from Manchester UK to Boston ON AMERICAN AIRLINES earlier this year no problem! Make what you will of that.
Iain.
p.s. If this becomes general policy on US domestic flights it's majorly bad news for CAG I think.

Paul I am a great lover of tequila, perhaps we will meet at the ATC. i'll be down on Tues. eve. hope to se you thur.
Magnifico indeed!
That's my bud sitting right there on the left.
Iain.
-
Paul
No, never tried it.
......but as I'm a scientist (and as Ricky can't make it) I'm happy to do the experiment with you.
Iain.
-
Well, just so happens that I have a small bottle of Tequila that my mom brought me back from Mexico about a month ago when she went on a cruise. I figure that I'll take it to the maize boil
What brand Paul?
If it's the Herradura Reposado I'll drink as much as you want to spare.
Iain.
-
Neil,
Ill be ready to give them all interviews and such....
Hey Scott
Take care with the media. I heard they're setting up a stunty double-header with you and TDP via a live video link to Kazakhstan!
Thong wars anyone??
Iain.
-
Ice?!?! I saw some of that this morning. Of course it was in my freezer and I was putting it in a drink
That's all fine and dandy Paul but you don't say whether Jerome caught anything out of it!!!???
Iain.
-
Jepers Creepers, Jerome and the New England Crew are catching fish through the ICE......
Neil
That's nothing. As of last weekend J started using hired assistants to smash up the ice with extreme violence....
........and still managed to catch four!
What a guy!
Iain.
-
Chad
Do you have one that has had BOTH pickles and crab boil in 'em. If so, save it for me......I like to have a little edge.
Iain.

PS. If any Scientific women are reading this I said scientists are boring and can't dance. Anything else scotty is making up
Ricky
I showed this to my wife, a biology professor and UCSF PhD. She disagreed with your first sentence but thinks you could be on to something with the second.
However, she did add that scientists are often reluctant to let go of their microfuge tubes!
Sorry you can't make it.
Iain.

I was not able to attend the last 2 ATC's but did keep track of the tally when the event was completed and know more than a few persons who are quite able fishermen who blanked. So take that for what it is worth. Some will be humbled this event as all..
C'mon Cactus (and UK).
No serious trash-talker gets "humbled" by lack of success.
It's the poor winners I feel sorry for as their trash-talk instantly becomes truth-talk!
Takes a well adjusted individual (like me) to deal with that kind of pressure.

........from what I hear, all we've got to do is give him lots to drink (I mean just plain old liquids) and make sure he's at a peg that is NOT conducive to taking a WIZ,,, we've got it made in the shade,,,,,I hear, he's got a bladder the size of an acorn !!!
( now if that doesn't get him to respond on the TRASH TALK THREAD nuttin will!!!)
Oh man Neil!!
Discussing the guy's waterworks issues on the forum......now that is trash talk! Maybe a tad below the belt old chap?
Herewith some really good reasons why Scott and his Dad will come second in this years ATC:
1. Past record. Scott's Dad has carried him before and can do it again.
2. Established ability. Scott can wiz all over the opposition (see above).
3. Geography. MA has come first (or second) in all the big contests of the last few months (see earlier post).
4. Problem solving ability. If struggling after the first day, Airforce Bob's mates will airdrop 100,000 tons of ice cubes into Town rendering carp uncatchable to all non-MA teams. Did NOBODY else wonder why Phone didn't sign up to defend his title?
5. Ability to catch in "impossible" conditions. Everyone knows Scott would have won in 2004 had he not been foolish enough to buddy-up with France's answer to Rita Hayworth!
..........Oops!!
:D Iain.

SOME GENTLE ENCOURAGEMENT.
MORE TEAMS!
MORE TEAMS!
MORE TEAMS WANTED!
NEIL AND BRIAN HAVE PUT LOADS OF
ORGANIZATIONAL EFFORT INTO THE ATC
SO PLEASE GET ON YOUR
AND FIRE OFF THOSE ENTRIES.

-
Now who said it didn't make sense to go ice-fishing for carp? Hmmm? <_<
Hey partner!
You're not suggesting that these carp were FEEDING are you?
Don't go there! Don't go there!
Iain.
-
Bl**dy Typical!
Fran does all the work and then you young "whippersnappers" catch the first fish!!
I want to catch one through the ice like that! I presume the ice won't be disappearing anytime soon?
Iain.
ATC.
in ATC 2010 and back...

Just wondering how many folks are staying on after the tournament?
Jerome and I will be in Austin and fishing through Tuesday.
..............that gives us five whole days to blank!
Iain.
