Phil GB Posted July 29, 2004 Report Posted July 29, 2004 We can't afford to drive down ..... or didn't you notice the gas prices in and around DC... I can just here the crying from the west coast.... but they have sunshine..
Todd Perdue Posted July 30, 2004 Report Posted July 30, 2004 Yeah, I saw those prices. Fortunately not too far south the price drops a good bit. Just leave home with about a quarter-tank and you'll be OK from there.
Guest Tommy Robinson Posted July 31, 2004 Report Posted July 31, 2004 Shoot Tommy, that fish only looks so big 'cause you're a runt! LOL - Runt --- I'm every bit as big as your youngest son!
Todd Perdue Posted August 1, 2004 Report Posted August 1, 2004 UH...hmmm...I guess you haven't seen my youngest since Claytor last fall huh? And just think, he's almost nine. He gets mad 'cause his brother's 3 inches taller...doesn't help to remind him that his brother is 3 years older than he is.
Guest big Raymie Posted August 1, 2004 Report Posted August 1, 2004 tommy i hate to say it mate, but only papa gefilta smurf is smaller than you, and hes a mental midget
Guest Tommy Robinson Posted August 1, 2004 Report Posted August 1, 2004 nope - he has me beat by a good inch or two and a few pounds no doubt!
(DC) Mark Metzger Posted August 1, 2004 Report Posted August 1, 2004 yes we've compared i got him by both length and girth ooops i mean height and girth
Guest big Raymie Posted August 2, 2004 Report Posted August 2, 2004 tommy mark wears heels mate, or at least he does in the pics ive seen of him online ps this is a joke, no actual pictures of mark to my knowledge have ever been on the internet, if any small kids or animals were offended, then i will postehaste remove myself to the latrine were i will fall apon my dagger.
Damn Yankee Posted August 6, 2004 Report Posted August 6, 2004 Common Guys: A few nice nets does not a American Carp Society make... The last news letter said the site would be up and running during July!!! It's now August 6th. Any news from the ACS??????
Neil Stern Posted August 6, 2004 Report Posted August 6, 2004 I think Wayne is across the pond for a few weeks, but when he gets back I beleive the site will be up.... if I remember correctly, membership will NOT start until it's up and running...Right guys???? I've ordered a few things by "E" mailing the guys directly...they're on the ball !! I know that they've sunk a bundle of $$$$$ into this venture, and it would please them no end to get the site up and running and start getting some return on their dollars !
RichB Posted August 6, 2004 Report Posted August 6, 2004 I talked to Wayne a week or so ago and the website is almost ready. The membership, as Neil said, doesn't start until then. Although it is about 4 months past the first go-live date, I believe the website has bloomed into something much more than it was supposed to be originally. Me, I would have posted something and added to it. However, I'm not running a company so what do I know. Hang in there folks, I am sure it will be worth it... RickyB
BillD Posted August 6, 2004 Report Posted August 6, 2004 I know the web site opening is imminent. These guys have taken the time to do it right. This is not an uncomplicated process. Have some patience and I'm sure we'll all be pleased with the results. I have a lot of respect for the partners in the ACS and their approach to the whole venture. If they had wanted to go with a load of crap and turn a quick buck they could have done. Like I said, have patience.... most good things are worth waiting for....... All the best..... Bill D.
Shawn Woerlein Posted August 6, 2004 Report Posted August 6, 2004 Your right BIll. These guys are doing it the right way, and waiting until everything is complete to go live. They are spending a LOT of time preparing everything, and have some awesome things up their sleeves. Some information is very HUGE that will be released by next year Why do I support ACS? Simple. This is another fine organization promoting carp fishing in the USA. Anything that has the possibility to proclaim the carp as a possible sportfish/gamefish status is well worth the $$ in my opinion.
Neil Stern Posted August 6, 2004 Report Posted August 6, 2004 we're fortunate to have guys like ACS. Wacker and the other AMERICAN retail pioneers....... You can;t get CARP STUFF at cabellas or Bass pro.... I can see it now....the GRAND OPENING of CARP PRO a giant replica of a Carp, and you walk into the store through the mouth !! laugh,,,it will happen !!! ( perhaps not in my lifetime, but it will happen !
Paul Pezalla Posted August 6, 2004 Report Posted August 6, 2004 a giant replica of a Carp, and you walk into the store through the mouth !! That isn't TOO farfetched. The rear of my building overlooks the Eisenhower Expressway, 6 lines of highway leading into Chicago. It has long been my dream to put a giant carp on top of the building, . And, sticking to the theme of this thread, I agree that ACS will have a very strong and positive impact on carping in North America. Sean & Wayne are great guys. David is a special case.
RichB Posted August 6, 2004 Report Posted August 6, 2004 David is a special case. What does that mean???
Phil GB Posted August 6, 2004 Report Posted August 6, 2004 I'll take a stab at "there's only one Sponge Bob Huge Pants...."
Paul Pezalla Posted August 6, 2004 Report Posted August 6, 2004 What does that mean??? I just can't bring myself to call David a "great guy." In all the years I have know him, I don't think I have ever said anything nice about him to his face. Privately, I think the world of him.
pmk00001 Posted August 18, 2004 Report Posted August 18, 2004 I'll second the great products and service that come out of ACS. I had a welcome surprise when I got home today, my tackle arrived in less than a week. Everything as expected, I got a chair and a trakker brolly, the chair is the ACS brand and seems exceptionally well made. Everything was competatively priced and the service was outstanding. Thanks guys! Well done.
Guest big Raymie Posted August 18, 2004 Report Posted August 18, 2004 like wacker i have nothing but good stuff to say about ACS, love the service, real quick, and the gear ive had so far gets my goolies all a tingling.
