Yeh - this has been a bit of a trend that I'm going to address soon, not yet sure how we're going to go.

Yeh, I've owned a boat for three years - it's hit the water ZERO times - I love boats and I will fish from them, then again I really love fishing the surf. I plan to do both forever... The boat caught pictures - I have a "photo" which has 5 pictures of shore based fishing and need to add one for a boat ....

This site is "You Guys", the success or failure of this site, the Fun or UnFun, is largely up to you. I have a lot more chance of screwing it up than making it better . I get a lot of people thanking me for this site and I (almost) always attribute this back to you all. You guys make this site what it is...
