Really looking forward to the Dave Vedder seminar on fishing with floats next Tuesday at 7pm at the Edmonds Yacht Club.

Really looking forward to the Dave Vedder seminar on fishing with floats next Tuesday at 7pm at the Edmonds Yacht Club.

I received the Islander Steelheader reel today for the raffle. One word, SMOOTH, you turn the clicker off and spin the handle it goes and goes and goes. You stop it from spinning before it stops on its own, just out of boredom.

With Steelhead fishing for those large natives, C/R PLEASE, in full swing. Dave’s seminar and the raffle prizes will be an awesome addition to anyone.

Tonight is the night....I'm loading the Dave Vedder rod and the Pflueger Trion reel in the car in a few minutes...We may have to call in the Edmonds police for crowd control.

Just a quick "thank you" to Dave for the excellent presentation last night.

The combination of the talk and the slide show really kept things fast-paced and interesting.

I am now convinced that when bank fishing, float fishing is the way to go 90% of the time -- especially for people like me with limited steelheading skills.

It was a pleasure to meet Surecatch and I'm looking forward to reading his book.

I'd like to extend a huge Thank You to surecatch for coming last night. You had a great presentation and exhibited tremendous patience with the tons of questions, even when you got cornered by those guys in the entryway.

Oh, and thanks for signing the book, too!

Also, thanks to grandpa and the rest of the PSA SnoKing crew for setting everything up and putting together such a good variety of raffle items. I wish I could have entered, but I've won more than my share this year.

Congratulations to those who won as well!

What a great presentation last night by Dave. I have to go pickup some float gear today!

Also to PSA members, I joined last night and look forward to meeting a few more of you.

What a fun speaker Dave is. He has a great way of presenting his ideas and humor .

We had over 125 persons in the crowd and it was great to meet a lot of PP members. Thanks for taking time out of your schedule and attending.

A few months ago I may have had misconceptions about Surecatch and 4salt...Now that I have met both of you and see that you are not boogey men but real genuinely good guys I might listen to both of you more often.

Dave stepped up to the plate for PSA SnoKing in more ways than one and for that I am truly and sincerely greatful. I'm not kidding on this. I work pretty hard trying to make a difference and it kind of chokes me up to see someone making our lives more enjoyable like Dave does. I know how much effort Dave put into the event last night and I now he had a bad day yesterday. I am a better person for knowing Dave Vedder and can't thank him enough for his great contributions to me, PSA and sports fishing in general.

Now on to 4Salt... I appreciate you coming last night and the fact that you introduced yourself. I always pictured you as an old fart with crazy opinions...now I know you are a young congenial person with crazy ideas. I am looking forward to wetting a line with you and Dave this year some time. I'm sure I can learn alot from both of you.

Thanks , too, to JR for building that spectacular custom rod for our raffle. Thanks for your tireless service to PSA. Thanks to all the others who joined us and especially to all the new members who joined our organization last night. Especially one special new member....you know who you are. I was pleasantly surprised to hear about your decision to join.

Thanks Grandpa! I enjoyed meeting you too! That's quite a club you're runnin' there!

I kinda had a feelin' you weren't as evil as some folks think! Ha Ha!

I definitely look forward to fishing with you sometime!

I think I might be bipolar....not sure. I used to drink a fair bit and I thought I was more fun then..

I just wanted to say thank you for all who put the seminar on. I have yet to catch a steelhead and I hope to put the information to use that I learned last night to be able to catch my first one. Dave sure is a great speaker and I hope that everyone else enjoyed it as much as I did.
