Thank you Tom for your nice comments! You might also want to congradulate Paul T. he is also going to speak at the seminar.But at the time i had talked to Jay and Rich M. we hadnt yet discussed it.We are going to split up the branches Paul taking south and i am taking north.I will not mention any names but iv'e received a e-mail today scourning me for saying anything about the Kishwakee in general.Seems some people dont think we dont have enough river to share with others.Im not stupid and neither is Paul,and im sick of people thinking im just going to tell everyone where the smallies are at,and then all the bucket people are going to come running.What i want to speak about is smallmouth bass fishing in general,im not going to give up all the Honey Holes as some think.If a person wants exact location to the holes they are going to have to join the Alliance,pay the 25$ and then go out with me for a trip or two.Iv'e had more people say stuff like dont tell anyone,their going to tresspass,their going to litter! If we cant offer anything to the fisherman than why would he find our organization interesting.And why did the Alliance give me a map to the Kankakee and set me up with a guide free of charge last August? Because i paid my 25$ and they trust me! Thats why they gave me the Northwest Conservation Officer Title at the Bronzeback Blowout,they trust me and want me to lead the way to making the nessesary changes on the Kishwaukee.I wish people would just keep their mouths shut,im not going to give away anyones Honey Holes.WOW i feel much better now.This wasnt pointed in either of your directions,just hoping the guy who sent me the e-mail reads it.
