I lurk on here regularly while in the office (usually check in a couple times a day), and occasionally from home, but rarely post. Mostly because I have really only met a couple of you...guessing that I am probably on the younger end of the age bracket than most of you (39), but I could be wrong
This is a great change of pace from the other site- a much more intimate setting with guys who seem to actually know each other- a genuine sense of camaraderie exists here that doesn't over there. And yet I feel more inclined to get involved in discussions and post over there for some reason...
I was tempted to make the plunge and commit to the Cutty trip- I think myself and the 5 guys I was with last year were just getting on the boat as you guys were getting off (Rob G. made the trip with us last year)...was tough to commit to it this year as historically speaking the June new moon timeframe is typically when some real quality fish show up in and around my home waters (I had my best surf night this past Saturday locally for both numbers and size)...We had an awful weather pattern when we went last year in early June and the guys who want to head back out there all thought it would be advantageous to shoot for at least one commando style trip somewhere in the August/September timeframe- hoping for more comfortable and favorable conditions (last year we got off the ferry on Cutty and had constant drizzle to driving rain and a steady 20+ mph NE wind the whole time)...Rob was the high rod on our trip as well!
I do not do facebook outside of a couple of public pages to check out charter captains reports or tackle shop reports of another $h!tsh0w at the canal.
Hopefully the S-B website remains viable for years to come- I certainly appreciate all of the contributions of the various members. So many years of surf knowledge resides here and to be able to apply some of that knowledge to my home waters is invaluable.
