**Catfishsteve** · 07-31-2008, 09:10 PM

Thanks, WCbad!!

Yeah, those locks, I feared they would be problematic, which is why they've been eliminated in the new design.

Even with the ones I've been checking with a lock, it's really just as easy to put on a glove and reach in from the top. Wish we really woulda known that before we went with those locks. Oh well, live and learn!!

Thanks! Keep those reports coming!!

Thanks for checking my bins, Steve. I planned to get to them this weekend. Did you have any problem with the lock at #5? It was sticking in mid-July but finally closed.

**Catfishsteve** · 08-02-2008, 04:36 PM

I've just resorted to the old " shove your arm down in there" routine for those bins. That one at 5 is a bit of a challenge, but if one takes his fishing bucket over there and turns it upside down to stand on, it works out.

Most of the time, it's just as easy to get the stuff out from the top. Gloves are a must!!

Guys, it's really neat seeing a project like this come together and be successful. I for one am greatly appreciative of all your hard work keeping the home land green and fishing line free. Kudos to all involved for a job well done!!!

Thanks for all the reports, guys!!
I've got boxes to mail this stuff back to Berkley.

I think those of us in Omaha, anyway, will try to maybe have a little get together and box it all up early in September. We can meet at a lake and do a little fishing as well.

I think we're going to have a really nice pile of line!!
