I guess I am pretty friendly and will strike up a conversation after a while. If I notice the person is resistant to conversing I will stop out of respect for his or her solitude. However, since coming to this board I have found myself striking up conversations where normally I wouldn't in hopes of meeting another board member. I have yet to succeed. I will also give advice when ASKED. I never offer it freely because I know how much I hate it when it is given freely to me. I get great joy in watching someone else catch a fish and if I can help them do that I will but only if they ask. When asked for advice I never say something like you should put more weight on, rather I say something like I like to use more weight in these conditions to get the bait down quicker and keep in in the slot a little longer. I believe it all ties into proper fishing etiquette just like not casting over peoples lines or parking your drift boat in front of a bank fisherman then fishing his small spot of the river when you can simply drift to the next hole unreachable to bankers or at least asking the banker if he minds if you fish there also. You know, stuff like that.
