I stumbled upon this place I think in dec 2000 sometime after fishing yet another fall on BI I felt hollow in December and I was sniffing around the web looking for local SB addicts to commiserate with. I had moved to back up north to RI in 99 and was still doing a lot of surf fishing but most of the guys I knew were not fishing the beach much due to age, health and physical limitations and few had computers. I found sb.com and it seemed like this was the kind of local site I was seeking. It was a lot different then not a lot of members. There was a problem with my name at one point and I had to re-register and I think that is why it says 2001 now.
I have visited all the other sites but for some reason I prefer this one. Even when it gets a little hostile, I still prefer it over the others. Also I think JR should be commended for keeping it as non-commercial as he has. Further, I thought the first TFCTFN I went to when I met a lot of the people I have only posted messages to was really a lot of fun and something a little special.
This is a good group of people even if we all don't agree on everything... I hope it stays like this but it will probably change like everything else.
Happy Holidays SB.com'ers
