| Just a note to say "Thank You" to all of you who use and contribute to this site. After surfing through "Fishing Forum" sites over the years, I think this site is the best I've encountered. What I've seen here is very commendable in terms of genuine response with helpful, welldone comments and information. I'm new to power boating and north country fishing so all of this is very appreciated. Most fishing forum sites are unhelpful and filled with ego's. Thank you.  |

BL.
Firstly, welcome. And thank's so much from all of us who share for the kind words. The guys here are indeed a special group of guys. But I give the most praise to the owners and moderators of this great site. Their vision, direction, rules and guidlines for this site that they have both taken and have stuck with these last few years, is like very few other on the internet. Now as far as Ego's go, we all have them, some more unique than others. And they may rub some people the wrong way, but I truly believe they make you a better fisherman for the most part. It's just some ego types won't allow for sharing or helping guys who are new or less informed in the fishing sports. And ironically, the ones that do are accused of bragging. Not many of them here either.

| Thank you.
We made the "play nice" model work over at MuskieFIRST and we believe it's starting to grab hold here as well, it just took a little longer. Overcoming the culture of negativity set by other sites hasn't been easy, but I think we've shown that it is what people ultimately want. Help, advice and conversation without being attacked or ridiculed.
Cool, huh? lol
Thanks again for the compliment. |

Location: Menasha, WI | I'll take the opportunity to chime in too. I also particpate on a number of forums and this is by far the best. It is not the most active, but almost always* friendly, helpful discussions involving some extremely smart anglers
* "almost always" except when football is involved ;). |

Location: Pagwachuan Lake, Ontario Canada | Welcome aboard, I have been trolling around on the musky side of things. Great bunch of guys there, and yes this is definately a no slam area. I look forward to the walleye disscussions here as well. Looks like another site for me to visit regularly.
All the best,
