Thanks for the welcome,
I have been here for a while. flounder is a solid fisherman - and his posts are based in fact

Thought that was quite a nice reply by him.
As for your "Red headed step-child"

well I am sure one day he'll appreciate fellow fishermen. He seems to have adjusted well to this board, of course you guys had to "break him in", thanks
Just trying to do the same. Can we get a permanent disclaimer on his post. "Advice given is based on prior fishermen's posts, the author has no original knowledge." kinda reminds me of that comercial "not a Dr. but play one on TV" he should just start out "I'm not a fisherman, but I play one on the net..."
Sorry guys, I have seen him giving advice on reels and rods he has never even used or seen to people just getting started, getting into skirmishes with real owners... kinda stinks for the novices.
I guess we all have to just invite him fishing! That seemed to calm him down on here quite a bit

very nice tactic.
Gotta great site, I hope flounder comes back over, he has some great knowledge and he is quite diplomatic.
Gotta go, the stripers are nesting here... and we all know what that means - Bluefins are in the surf.
:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D
