Great opportunity to get Lance Valentine to the West Side for some education.  Check it out and comment so we can get something planned.

He's trying to see how many people can go or would go to a Lowrance electronics class Sunday, March 29th. It's an intensive class with Lance Valentine as the instructor. He has a classroom set of graphs so all you need is to show up. He needs 20 people to make it work. It's a 6-hour class that costs $75 per person. Lance does a number of these classes every spring, popular with Great Lakes anglers.

If only someone would offer the same type of class for Humminbird users I would be in. Would love to learn how to get more out of my Humminbirds.
