Location: Home of the 2016 World Series Champion Cubs | Just found out. THANKS M1st and Smokey's for sure!!!!!!!! And to the guides and sources I contacted for the specifics. I tried to take the contest for what I thought it was intended and tried to involve everyone whether they knew it or not. A great idea for a contest. I'm assuming all the guides consented to their names being used in the contest  I picked a few brains for suggestions, a few covertly, Slamr knows what I'm talking about. I was very open with some and they were more than happy to offer their time and suggestions. In particular the various guys at Smokey's whom I called several times. They knew I was only shopping for a fictionl angler and an immediate subsequent purchase was not likely but made sure all my questions were answered. This guarantees that I will CONTINUE to shop SMOKEY'S for what I need. It was fun since I have fished only about half of the spots mentioned, I did get some insight on spots I havent fished and some new ideas on those I have. I did search and read EVERY page and item of the Smokey's site and gave John a list of possible errors as well as some constructive criticism which he warmly recieved. I think we owed him that much at least for sponsoring but I'm sure he picked up a few orders as well. Its hard not to want to buy when parusing(sp?) the oline and print catalogs. Any way just another cool aspect of Muskie First. It was just fun to do.
Slamr you have mail.
Karl
