    Hi everyone,

    I'm not sure exactly how much time/effort that @Ernie has poured into this site over the years, but I'm sure that it is a lot. On a personal level, I really appreciate this place - I have learned lots from people on this site and am certainly a more proficient angler because of it. I have also made some really good fishing buddies.

    From a business standpoint, CFF has also been very important to AEM. We have received a lot of positivity from folks that frequent this board encouraging us to dig in and keep pushing, great advice for lakes to survey, and constructive criticism on ways to improve our products. Most notably, CFF has allowed us to connect with several like-minded people that have since become integral to our team, facilitating the ongoing growth of AEM.

    For all of these reasons, I am grateful for CFF and all that @Ernie has done. AEM would like to give something back.

    We are going to run a little auction, for an AEM gift card worth $250 that can be used for anything available directly from our website (digital map chips, upgrades, print maps or swag).....basically everything except maps hosted on Avenza (which we don't actually sell directly).

    All proceeds from this auction will be donated to CFF operations (via @Ernie ). Bidding starts at $50. Reply to this post if you are interested, with your bid amount in the comments.

    A lot of members only login here once a week or once every couple of weeks or so. Might take a bit more time to get a few more views.
