Special Thanks to Mike, Bobber and Fish-Hawk.net

Post by **eye-tracker** » Sat Dec 03, 2005 10:47 am

Hello all,

As many of you hawk-talkers know I frequent this board on a regular basis and offer up some of my knowledge about my favorite species -- the walleye. In the past few years I have been pro active in promoting, educating and taking anglers out for their personal best walleye.

Thanks to Mike and Bobber for allowing me a forum and community to present and discuss walleye information -- thanks to this site I have been discovered and approached by G-Loomis Canada, Lowrance/Eagle, P-Line and Tracker Boats for the 2006 season. I look forward to sharing more of my walleye experience on fish-hawk and hope to see some hawk-talkers at shows and seminars in the winter months, otherwise I will see you on the water in 2006.

Fish on...

Sheldon Hatch

Actually Sheldon I think it is us that needs to thank you. I have learned more from you in the forum's and via pm's than I could ever have dreamed of.

Your tips and tricks have definitely helped me put more walleye in the boat.

Good luck

Joe

Sheldon, your one of the elite group of members on here, who are worth more than their weight in gold.

Whether its in person, on a thread, or via PM, you are always willing to help out with information....i mean, who would have thought to go flipping and pitching for walleye? not me.

anyways, you deserve all the acolades your receiving....and i have a feeling this is just the beginning.....

you dont take the common approach to most angling situations....which makes you a better angler in the end.....anyone can copy what they read on the net (just look at my fishing results, lol), but to be a leader, an innovator, well that takes someone a little extra special.

Markus, Yourself, CCB, Hoffman, and others are Invaluable to this site....

We appreciate all you guys do....

Keep up the good work Sheldon, you give the common angler hope.....

Steve

Sheldon:

Just want to add my thanks for the contributions you make to the board and the Fish-Hawk fraternity. As well, I very much enjoyed your seminars on walleye fishing.

Congrat's on the new relationships! Those companies are fortunate to have you.

Just like the sentiments of the rest, it is us who should thank you.

You are one of the most knowledgeable people on FH.

An invaluable source to us all, that I myself I have tapped into.

Thanks for your responses to my PM's, good luck, and all the best.
You deserve it!

Take Care,
Dennis

Sheldon,

I'm not exactly sure if your success is a result of Fish-Hawk.Net - I am sure you would have found success regardless.

But if you think FHN helped then that is good, and I hope other anglers who frequent Hawk Talk who want to go down the same road as you are able to meet up with similar success.

Congratulations!

Hey Sheldon,

Congats!! Great news to hear! You'll enjoy working with those companies, and they have certainly chosen a knowledgable spokesman.
If you ever have any questions regarding the magazine and writing aspect of the business, feel free to shoot me a line.

For myself, it has been great working with HT, and I'm looking forward to this upcoming season, and the exciting opportunities that lie ahead. A few other leads on other companies, so hopefully more things pan out.

The Tracker boat deal is sweet. The 17-foot Bass Tracker is one I currently have my eye on. If they need a 'bass' guy to come on board, don't hesitiate to drop my name..

Good luck with the future..

Justin

Congrats ET, I couldnt think of any more deserving individuals for those sponsorship deals. May the future be prosperous for you.

Congrats Sheldon with the new Sponsors, I'm sure that they will realize in a hurry that they made a good choice. I'm looking forward to some more of your Walleye seminars. The ones from last spring were very educational.

Thanks Again and Good luck

Thanks Sheldon..and Have fun with it!

Congratulations Sheldon.

Your knowledge and eagerness to teach others has landed you some great sponsors. Your enthusiasm is contagious. After talking to you a few weeks ago at the launch I wanted to relaunch and go fishing again. Again, congrats. Your sponsors picked up a great representative.

Well done Sheldon

you rarely see a response on here referencing Walleye without your name in it somewhere.

That in itself speaks volumes

I can't help but smile about that....cause i'm the exact same way after speaking with him....

he's so enthused with the sport...and it certainly rubs off on everyone around him!

Eye Tracker:
Congrats on sponsership deals. I am new to hawk talk, and have not had many posts, but can't help but notice you always take time to share your knowledge as well as the other regulars who post. I look forward to attending some of your seminars and meeting you as well as other hawk talkers. Thanks for the great info.
