I wrote last winter about being old school and wanting a compass in my pocket in the woods. That was confirmed for me lately as I began using the new Lund. The compass I had ordered had not shown up until last weekend. The sense of relief I felt after placing the compass on the console was simply unexpected.

I picked up the new Lund Alaskan last week and then spent the next few days installing and customizing to fit my specific needs. Different cleats, fire extinguisher just there knife and pliers handy. I am still not finished mostly because I am awaiting delivery of a few more items.

In my role as Executive Director of the Maine Professional Guides Association I give the collective opinion of our membership frequently. Usually, it does include a story sometimes even one from this blog. But this time I am going the other way because I think that the story and comments are worth repeating here. Here are my comments on the suggested striper management changes for the east coast.
