I see what you're saying CB. As a newbie to this site a couple years back I had never "lurked" before posting reports/questions so I really had no idea what this forum was about. Hence, I posted numerous reports about places that didn't sit too well with many members. Let me tell you - I got FLAMED. It took me a while to figure things out but I realized the reason they were scolding me after a while. I didn't realize what I was doing but now I understand. I'll be honest, some of the NFR stuff bugs me, but I've learned not to read it. Stick with this site. You'll learn a TON of info that will prove extremely valuable on the water. Nothings better than sharing info and helping fellow anglers. CFM said it best when he stated that "one must earn the trust of fellow board members before expecting information." Contribute and tell us what you know and you'll be delighted with the responses you receive once people know who you are. Did that make any sense?
