I sent DJ's an email today when I had a break in the action, noting in the email that I did not expect any reply today. He emailed me back quickly, as it sounds like he was working. Turns out he may only be a few miles down the road from me.

I get to hand some of my hard earned cash to a neighbor, for something interesting and useful, it is a win-win.

Now this is the kind of info I appreciate, I probably sound like some over polite kid, but, Thanks Again!

and if my post about spending $250 on crankbait sounded arrogant or rich, sorry that the adrenaline from two days of big walleye fishing, after many years of not, and first ever trolling, has not worn off. I have been saving a few years to restart my hobby and it was all part of the initial investment. Rickards was friendly, helpful and seemed to want to earn my business, and has been each time I have returned. I appreciated that.
