Yea Bowbender I haven't either now that you mention it............Anyone heard??

wiskers was by my studio over Thanksgiving and asked him about it. He apparently did web searches of many of the names he was considering and found them to be too close to registered business names now being used. I figure the last thing a new businessman needs is legal issues right off the bat.

I'm sure he will be around shortly to explain where things now stand. I figure single digit temperatures on a riverboat makes the pucker factor even higher than normal.

Here's where we are on the Name that Guide contest.

Like dux said, between CDC and facebook I had over 200 entries. I picked the "best 12 names" and googled them. Every name I liked was taken in whole or in part. The last thing I wanna do is start a new business off with a legal battle. My Grand Daughter came up with a name that I may end up with. I may go back through the list 1 more time & find/pick a name. Haven't decided yet.

If I don't find a name from my CDC and facebook entries, I'm gonna have a post where you can just reply to enter. Each reply will have a number associated with it. I'll get my wife or Grand Daughter to pick a # between 1 and whatever and that person will win a day on the lake chase'n crappie with me.

Sorry I haven't kept yall up to date but with deer season, buying some more equipment that I'll need and the holidays I just hadn't gotten around to it.

Bare with me. This isn't turning out to be as easy as I thought it was gonna be. Lots of "i's" to dot and "t's" to cross if you're gonna do it right.

No problem just thought maybe I had missed it. Will definetly be looking for the contest for the fishing trip. I know when I started my buisness it was alot of head ache but the rewarding things in life require a little more work. Believe me it will be worth it. Good luck on your guide service and I hope to hook up with you in the future for some fishing.
