| Some of you guys are making more out of this sticker thing than what it is. Here is my thought as to why some folks like the idea. ITS AN ICE BREAKER!! Admit it that we are a secretive group and when someone is approaching our boat do we smile and wave hi or keep casting with some icy stares....most of the time the latter!
BUT, you have a sticker that shows you both have common "Ground" then it helps break the ice. You pull close ask "hey your on the board? whats your name?" This opens up the conversation and can lead to hows the bite etc....
Just helps to break the ice. When a stranger pulls up and he is the 30th boat that has asked "are they biting?" are you all warm and fuzzy??
Is it easier to start a conversation with a hot blonde that is by herself or has a cute little puppy with her......Your not a threat to her when you start off talking about the puppy....same deal.
My two cents...

| I agree with Painter, nice ice breaker. However it would ALSO be nice to have a more robust user directory with pictures. There are a few very suspect individuals (slamr?) who people may not want to meet. LOL If we all had access to a picture of Slamr and his rig we could know what to watch out for instead of being drawn in by the sticker. [:p] |

| Can I get a sticker made for me that is a little bigger than everyone else’s? I want to be in the club, but still want to hold my nose a little higher in the air.
LOL everyone! |

| Thanks Lunchables....there goes my Piracy plans for the weekend. And get off of M1st crew about the DB, I bug Sworral and Jason about that constantly. I agree, the sticker will be a good way for us to know who we SHOULD and SHOULDNT be talking to....someone drives up to me with a sticker from one of the "other boards", I'm launching my hook-less jerko at them!!!! I will be easy to spot: black boat with sharks mouth. Oh, I'll have a M1st sticker on the side tooo.

| I agree totally with C.Painter, the sticker isn't going to make you part of a elite club or anything it's just a sticker and if someone doesn't want it they just shouldn't order one, that simple. I also agree about the hot blonde thing, maybe I should have a puppy club sticker on my boat too. LOL... All the sticker is doing is breaking the ice, I know when someone is pulling close to me I'm thinking they are gonna try to cut in on my path and I usually give them the general idea of how I will react. If I saw the sticker I would enjoy exchanging some notes and meeting a new friend on the lake. I am also usually not too shy about sharing info on spots.
* I do want to know if the personalized ones with our names will be available before I order my sticker.
* Also I was wondering if anyone was also thinking of putting their sticker on their windshields? Any problems with that idea?

| I think I'm gonna have me matey sew me up a flag! Black, with white lettering. Then I can run her up the mizzen........
er, attach it to the top of the antenna. Should be able to see that quite a ways. Maybe a MF hand towel would work as a flag? Any plans for a towel, Steve?
I don't think anyone was bashing. It's pretty much tongue in cheek. Sorry you took it the wrong way.
I think Corey expressed it correctly. Now I know how he always got the hot babes. He looked for the puppies!![:bigsmile:]
Tight Lines,

| Slamr,
Good idea on the puppy. Only one problem, hope it doens't attract any of the native Antioch country women if you are on the Chain.

| DB of boats & members is good idea- but the sticker idea sucks. Who could read it, f.ex. as I or Jason zip by at +60mph. I already have ESOX Maniac on the transom. A MF streamer type pennant would be much better. Kinda like the old Viking long ship pennant's. If the MF pennant is flying, it's safe to either try and catch up, flag me down or stop & chat. Plus for those that are wind direction impaired, they're great solution, i.e., if you have to put up the sails, boat drift, or are concerned about your fishing partner's diet the night before....

| I think the Database with Boats & Pictures is good. I also think the sticker is good, but it's up to the person. I'll be doing around 60mph too, but if passing in a channel or near by fishing it's a good marker.

| All those who know where lake X is raise your hands.There's your fraternity.Its turning into a board of inside jokes that only they know.That's not to say that this isn't a great board.You still can ask ? and get them answered and post to other peoples ? .I don't know if anon was kidding or not but I had the same thought the other day. |

| Ok, everyone, it was fun talking about this issue. The database will be a reality in time, as we finish the rest of the interactive structure Zach has planned. The MuskieFIRST stickers are available for those who want them.
The concept was very straightforward:
Be able to identify another angler out on the water, at the landing, or elsewhere in towing the rig, and say hello.
Those who found it necessary to take the idea elsewhere are the reason the thread is locked.
