Chris really appreciate what you and Russ do at LOM. The seminars are great and I hope to make more this year. Always love making the drive down there and checking out the shop.

I second that!

I'm qualified to do seminars on the structure and foundation of a quality internet "look-a-like thread".

I'm pretty comfortable on a podium, so just ask...

I see the first one has a representative from the WDFW......who's going to show up and light this guy's ass on fire? Maybe this could be a launch for Dana's political career.

Would love to see Jake's presentation regardless of what the content is - if it's half as thoughtful and witty as his posts it would be VERY entertaining!

I bet the wdfw officer won't know anything unless you ask about chrome fish! Or harvesting of sunfish!!

Jon I asked Dana to speak but his work schedule right now will not allow it. He will be on board later in the year if his schedule allows. Danny Garrett is a warmwater guy so this should be interesting to throw questions at him. Still waiting to hear who else locally you would like to hear speak?

FYI, Danny Garrett has fished bass touraments (including NWBass) with his father, Jim, and they both can catch 'em.  He is one of the young "good guys" in WDFW who has not yet been jaded by the system.  If my memory is correct, his mother is/was also a fisheries biologist (with USFWS).

Jon,  Danny is not the problem at WDFW.  I have known Danny for many years when he was still a college student in our bass club.  His dad is "Jim Garrett" who fished and won a few NW Bass tourney's.  He has a PHd in warm water fisheries and understands the needs of bass guys because he is one of us.  Probably the most qualified dude in WDFW to know what hell is going on the ground.

  That being said, there definitely is nothing wrong with throwing him so tough questions, and letting a representative from "The Man" know that we are NOT pleased with the way things are going out here on the receiving end of some wonderful policy making in Olympia!

  But I doubt Danny has any political pull other than reporting up the chain of command.

Chris I have been lucky enough to get to know Mike Matkowski and I think he would be a great guest speaker.  He is very good on Potholes particularly during the summer and he has caught some giants on the river!

I have met Jim, and he's a very nice guy. I don't know Danny and if he's in the Warmwater department I would agree he most likely isn't the problem. However, when we have the opportunity to let any representative of the department know our feelings,we better take it and make sure our concerns DO get kicked up the ladder. 

Also remember it they aren't part of the solution, they are part of the problem, and one of the MAJOR problems with ALL of our public departments is ACCOUNTABILITY!
