Chris - Thanks for the kind words! Welcome to the site. Congrats on finally deciding to buy yourself a boat. Always a great feeling Chad

Great Pics Icekimo! You guys really look like you had a blast out there. Keep up the great work!

The 14th annual Rochester Sportsmen's Show will be held on March 7 to 9 at the Monroe County Fairgrounds, Henrietta NY, in both the newly renovated Dome and Minett halls. Here is a Dollar-OFF COUPON courtesy of LOU Would like to hear your thoughts and comments of the show so please share!

Welcome Edd - hopefully your presence on the site can bring a little of that Cali sun and warmth our way...... or maybe I am just too anxious for spring to arrive now. Either way - welcome!

Wow - great pics Rod! Thanks for sharing!

Welcome to the board Shade. Love the boat name!

John, You raise another good point with respect to PayPal security. You can never be too safe, so be careful of those SPAM email messages you might be get of people pretending to be PayPal. ALWAYS check the URL in the header to make sure you are actually on the paypal website and not some 10.100.10.10 hacker server. Cheers, Chad

Hey Sliderman, Paypal is THE MOST TRUSTED payment gateway on the internet. To make a payment, someone would only have to sign on to their paypal account and click "Send Money". After that, they simply type in YOUR email address and the amount of money they want to send you (with an option description of what they are paying for - just for record keeping). Their money is sent instantly to your account then. You can then use money in your account to buy other things online via paypal or you can transfer money (no charge) directly to your personal bank account. PayPal is very flexible that way and thus my first choice when it comes to my money online. Google is coming out with something similar but right the standard that everyone uses is PayPal. I hope this helps and let me know if you have any other questions. All the best, Chad

I've added both links to the professional accounts for easy access. They are located in the left column under "Fishing Resources" - Thanks again guys - these are really nice to have!

Pat - I moved your other message over the LOU Events section and posted the date along with it so it would show up on our Calendar. Check it out! Thanks - Chad

Welcome to the site Keith, take your shoes off, get comfy and stay a while I'm sure you will find LOU a great way to extend your lunch break at work.

Great Pics Bill! I like the "time line" format - pretty much tells the whole story, no words needed

Welcome to the site JVD - being new is fine... this is hands down the best place to learn!

Welcome to the site LongPoint! A "Fish Tech" huh? Sounds pretty cool - what company?

Welcome to the board Shawn! You think it is fun on here now... just wait till those summer months roll around here. One of the best things about this board, like you said, is the opportunity to meet some of the people from LOU in person out on the water. I have had the pleasure of meeting many of the members and they really are a great (and funny) bunch of guys who are the best at what they do..... fishing

Welcome to the site Joe! Isn't it funny how we can always find something else fishing related to spend our money on even when we think we have everything? I have already spent my ENTIRE 2008 fishing budget in January! Looks like we are going to have to cut back on other budgets in order to free up some more "fish dollars". My apologies to the girl friend if she don't get some nice flowers and chocolates this year for Valentines Day - but Daddy needs a new pair of boat shoes

Welcome Pat - no matter where you fish out of, I can promise you will find helpful information right here. LOU is home to some of the best anglers I have ever met. Enjoy the site.

Cool Tom! I'm sure any one who attends your classes will leave satisfied and full to say the least Best of luck!

Hahah - sorry Bob. Tonight we did a huge server upgrade so I apologize if things are kinda goofy. We needed to upgraded to PHP 5.X and also our database to latest version of MySQL. We also optimized our memory usage by over 30% and did a couple other server optimization things that probably no one cares about cause it doesn't mean much in the way of fishing So I won't bore ya but just wanted to let you know that I am guessing many people had some "wacky" experiences today as we moved this HUGE site over to the new server Hopefully things should be back to normal now.. (or even better and faster than before!). Thanks! Chad

Welcome Tai - great ice fishing pictures by the way!

Welcome to site Uncorked. This is great place to meet new people - enjoy the site.

State of the Lake meeting Tuesday, March 11th, 2008 7:00pm Located at RIT Ingle Auditorium See Map location: Student Alumni Union - Number 04 (on map)

Welcome to the site Misty! Always glad to see new faces on here. Especially those who have fished the big-O for as long as you have. Enjoy!

I haven't seen the catalog yet but did it happen to look something like this post: http://www.lakeontariounited.com/fishin ... php?p=4458
