Center Pin Help

Just committed to center Pinning and could use a jump start. I live in Erie. Anyone willing to let me join them? - I would be happy to drive, pay for gas,buy lunch, etc and try not to be a pain. My availablitlity is flexable. I got a Raven Matrix, Cortland endurance 11'6'' with Siglon F from Brain at Fish USA. Needless to say it has been interesting trying to get along with the new type of reel. I have been out and managed  to confuse a few fish into cooperating but it is obvious this is going to take some time.
Thanks

    If you ever make it the the NW there will be a spot and lesson in my boat. That goes for all of you. Well not the lesson but the trip.

    Thanks fellows for the suggestions and ideas. The learning curve hasn't been as steep as I expected. Not that I am a major threat to the fish but I am getting comfortable. Things are quickly improveing. I find casting and presentation fun even when the fish aren't impressed. Hitting the mark and nailing the float is its own reward.
    Now if we just had a little rain!

    You asked for rain & we got too much. Looks like this was really not too much as it should wash out all the leaves, get fresh fish in creeks and make this week one of the best.

    Hey pin-drifter...I just shot rodman a PM on here saying I will be going tomorow. I have to go into my office this evening in Greensburg to pick up a few things I need for work, then plan on making my way up to there tonight. I have a little place I stay at that is comfortable, warm and has a tv. It's called Motel tC. I still have your phone number in my cell phone from we were going to try and meet up in the past. Look forward to fishing with some new fellows.
