Lurking since the earliest of days and finally registering in October 2001. Many have posted more times than I have but few have contributed more images...and it has been my pleasure to share my underwater seascapes with fellow S-B viewers, as well as a few humorous images.
I remember when the flame wars were pretty hot and heavy and spot burning was deemed punishable by digital death and banishment. That's when I posted a chart of all the best shore fishing spots in RI with "X" clearly marking these secrets spots. Those who viewed the map knew it was the real thing -- I had given up some of their super secret, personal honey holes.
One of the moderators quickly deleted the chart and I was chastised before I had a chance to post the "punch line" to my joke. If anyone had taken the time to look carefully, they would have noticed that I simply put an X everywhere intersecting loran lines met the shoreline -- not very scientific, but it did nail a few quality spots. My point was that throwing a dart can sometimes yield better results than trying to decipher someone's cryptic post and that if you just get out there and FISH and WALK and FISH and WALK some more, YOU WILL BE REWARDED.
Thanks to a great core group of contributors, moderators and of course John Redmond, this site has always been a downright friendly digital neighborhood for social networking with people who love striped bass, and as my grandfather would say, "Chewing the fat." Here's to the next 10 years.
