I don't remember how I came here but I came to learn about the NE mentality towards us ("Yankees") or non-NE'drs since a business was launched that would need this community if it was going to go anywhere. I still haven't figured out the whole thinking process thing but that's what makes it interesting.:gf:

I stayed because as so many have said, this is by far one of the most close knit group of down to earth, genuine people anyone can ask for. :kewl:

John, has said it best, this site seems to bring out a lot of the good in what we as fisherman and sportsmen are, in so many ways. Personally I feel honored to be welcomed here and to have made so many friends and aquiantences that I wish I could see more often.

As a business owner, I have also learned a lot about what the public thinks and wants and it has helped in defining our path to a degree. I have gotten suggestions, feedback & ideas that are invaluable as well as help and guidance from a few guys here that I would consider good friends and who I cannot thank enough. We have gotten your support and I believe we have gotten your belief in AquaSkinz and I want to take this opportunity since it seems so appropriate, to thank each and everyone one of you for it.:thanks:

Oh, and John, you seem to have hit a lot great spots over the years...but you are missing one :uhuh: ... The "Mecca" awaits your arrival sometime in June or September of 2006...so load er up and hop in your:ss: and head South my friend soon: :point: :wave: .

Seems like a friendly bunch here at S-B.com,so I joined up :uhuh:

Plus,I would really like to broaden my fishing horizons, to learn more and fish more places.
Being in PA.,I mostly fish local(Jersey)water with a yearly trip to the Cape's.
Cod and Hatteras.
Week long trips.Not alot of time to get really,really familiar with the beaches.I've done alright,but I'd like to learn more to get into that "big fish" or 10% club ;)

ditto. I just like the smell of this place. It smells like a bait shop. I know we don't all agree on everything (it would be boring if we did) and sometimes we get po'ed with some posts...but that is what is so great about this place. The fact that we can disagree on somethings yet fully agree on other things and pick up a few tips along the way. I don't think anyone can say that have not learned something from this site.
I for one have learned a thing or two over the years (and I am very greatful to those that have helped me...you know who you are) and more important to me, I have made many good friends along the way.

Besides as odd as this may seem to you, this is actually a big part of my "social" life.:wiggle:

:wiggle: not odd at all Sandman.....big part of mine as well

Me. I'm trying to learn how to catch fish rather than just go fishing.

I'm along with Newboater... fairly new to the site and want to learn all about all there is.....as an old guy on the Cape told me: it's not called catching, it's called fishing...

Because I have an addiction and there is no such thing as FA yet so this will have to do. It's all about the people. I could care less if someone caught a 50 lber or a 10 lber or 20 50 lbers everyone has something to share of equal merit. You'll never know everything and to me learning is what life is all about and you will get that here, and if you are lucky you might just help someone out and to me that is what makes this site tick. The constant ball busting is icing on the cake. Paul
