I'm the type of guy who would rather take five minutes to show somebody what I know, than spend a tide making them feel like crap, life is too short. People have helped me is the past, a knot here, a techniqe here, these people will always stick out in my mind as great people.
One of my best friends is someone who was just getting into the game, I taugh him what I know, learned a lot in the process, and ended up with an awesome fishing buddy. I guess that puts me out of the "cool crowd" huh? just like high school

I wish there were more people who thought like that.....I find the internet to be alot like High School.....if your in the crowd...your in...if not.....your just wasting time......some people can post that they just farted....and they get 400 responses about how awesome they or that was.....other guys have a legit question....and get 2 responses out of 500 looks.....kinda sad when you think about it....but it will never change.....it all about clicks.....funny....you rarely see people offering to fish with new guys.....or show them a trick or two...it's always the same answer...." Do your homework.....pay your dues....put in your time..." You know, I find it hard to believe that ALL these great fisherman on this site learned everything they know on there own.....but they are unwilling to show other newcombers some tricks of the trade.....afraid of giving up that Perfect spot that they have apparently found out about all by themselves.....if I was a newcomber trying to find out about this sport.....and the internet was the place I looked.....not sure I would have fallen in love with the sport the way I did.....it doesn't seem like a very friendly sport to a newcomber if you just take a step back and think about it.
So.......Who wants to fish?
