JohnR, I don't think you need to link FB to here....

Larry, I would like to see you around here more....

Clammer, those two trip were the very reason why I have continued the Cuttyhunk trips over the last 12 or more years. I would like to see a Leg at M&Ds again.... esp if we could draw out Capesams and Karl....

I would love to see the Political forum moved, to FB or another site. There have been weeks where that has 75% of the attention in here... Scuppers and Grumpy should suffice.

Time for members to put up or shut up. Contribute. If you are not part of the solution to ongoing viability, then you are part of the problem. Now is when a conscious decision should be made about your choice of a fishing community to participate in online and in season.

You don't realize what you have until it is gone.

See, this is exactly why we need to keep this site together, to teach what is OK.... Lord knows we are losing the old timers that set us straight, it seems all too fast. We also need to bring in new members, especially the next generation of young'uns to pass down as was done for us. (which meant not giving it all away, but spreading the wealth and knowledge as our mentors saw us putting in the time and earning it.

Larry, I figured you would enjoy whatever that thingy is called below my screen name.... We are becoming the old guys.....

Yeah, I came to the site just before Christmas in 2000. Something got screwed up with my user and I got it fixed in April of 2001.

I knew NOBODY in the Boston area to fish with. I had to drag my brother out to Nahant in 1997. I used to fish there by myself. I knew that I needed some friends that could help me find more spots.

My first real friend was the Specialist. He, chrisL, and I went fishing at a couple spots at the Cape in 2001. It was fun. Except for chris. He blew his transmission.

Then I figured that I needed to meet more people, cause Billy Mitz and Chris Lane were cool as hell. I got togeher with Don and Greg and had the first TFCTFN. It was also cool as hell. I got very hammered for many years thanks to Portugese moonshine. I will not name names, but will say it was always delivered in a Sierra Mist bottle.

So, Facebook is a place to go say hello, or get in touch with somebody, or spot burn, or whatever. It's quick and gets the job done.

This site, for me at least, is more of a family. I try to post respectfully and have gotten lots of help learning how to catch the big ones. Not getting hammered before going out was a real plus. This site helped me with that rule, as well.

Anyway, just my two cents. And where the hell are Fishpoopoo and bassmaster. They made the site pretty lively. Almost as much as Clammer's pants dropping, but in a better, less naked way.

OK. That's me.
Love,
Rick
