Thank You

Captain Downriggin · Posted: Sun Jan 07, 2007 2:50 am Post subject: Thank You

A mighty "thank you" to all the C-Brats attending the seminar! It was a pleasure to meet with you, and put faces on the monikers that make this an awesome forum! I sincerely hope that you left the seminar with knowledge that will put more fish in the box everytime you're on the water! My only regret was condensing the seminar so you folks could attend or make it home to watch out Seahawks,

Tentitively planned is another seminar for the summer fishery in the late April/May time frame. If your interested, it would be helpful to know now. This will allow me more time to arrange even more door prizes!

I welcome any questions or feedback through the email link ot the forum.

Very respectfully,
Capt. John Abbott
(Captain Downriggin)

Great seminar Capt Downriggin. Sorry I was one of the guys who had to skip out early to attend the Seahawk game. What a day, first a great Blackmouth Seminar then a great Seahawk game! I'm sure I'll be using all the tips garnered from you seminar today. Great job!

Wow!

What a complete and well thought out approach to fishing blackmouth. I really appreciated the tone of the seminar. It was clear that it was NOT a bait and switch sales event. The information was top of the line. I sure hope you come out with your video and/or CD soon. There was more information that I could write down or absorb in a single hearing.

Thanks A Million!

Do you have a Web Page you can post.

A very impressive presentation! Almost too impressive, as there is so much that I can't remember. One thing that would be helpful would be a handout with your PowerPoint slides -- can you make those available?

Thanks,
Warren

Sounds like I missed a good event/presentation. Will it be repeated sometime soon, or will you have some similar information at the Seattle Boat Show?

John. That was one great presentation. I have attended a number of them and would count your's as a solide "10". If you do have a summer fishery presentation count me in. Again thanks for the great job. Ted
