Thread: My Heart Felt Apology

Good afternoon.

I would like to take this time to make a post today, to apologize to you for previous actions. This has been weighting on my mind and heart for quite a while now.

First, I would like to wish you all a very Happy New Year. Secondly, I know you are busy so I won't take too much of your time.

My previous account, Mamba334, I displayed some dishonesty. When I first started coming here, I was so excited to finally get back into Crappie fishing. I haven't fished in a very long time due to the passing of my grandfather who I always fished with. It was just too hard to go without him. Anyway, I wasn't in my right place and I posted a picture to try to impress you all. I guess I wanted to fit in. I went about it the wrong way. And I know I will probably always be remembered for that. Once I was called out on that picture, and realized what I had done, I backed away.

So, I wanted to start fresh and just do the right thing from now on and be honest from that point forward. Thus, Jiggah was born. I like jigging and went to Google for a cool name, and that's what it gave me. It wasn't meant to be a shady account. I was just trying to start over. Maybe I should have apologized under Mamba334 account, but I was trying to just let that go.

I sincerely apologize to you for the past. I am deep down a great person. I love Crappie fishing and I even tell people about you guys. About how helpful and down to earth and just great people you all are. I have tried to be helpful to others and just be a good member here.

As you know, I met Trey off of this site. It was a blessing. He was very nice to offer a planned-paid trip. All I had to do was show up. Thank you for that memory. I apologize to you, Sir, for all that I may have said or done to make you turn the other cheek. You are truly a great person. I was really hoping to become fishing friends.

Lee also offered to meet me. I was a bit nervous with driving to meet someone I haven't even talked to on the phone first, so I backed out. Thank you, Lee for the invite, Sir. I will never forget that. Believe me, I regret it.

I have met a few people off of here fishing my spot, and we chatted and it was all fun. I have been honest with you from this new account and from this point forward everything will be truth. I hope you all can forgive me and lets move past my mistake and lets get back to doing what this website was meant to do.

To, "G" - the other day when I was making that post about Town Creek bridge boards (which for anyone who may want to know is 60") and I felt like you were trying to be funny, I apologize for coming across in a mean way. I was frustrated because ya know ... fishing to me just isn't what it was back when I was growing up. People don't respect others on the water anymore, everyone acts like everything is a big secret and people don't want you catching fish. I've never been that way. I'll tell you how deep, where I put my brush pile (which I am getting ready to do with Christmas trees), what bait, everything. We all got to eat. I just get tired of people being so negative all of the time. I know that wasn't what you were probably trying to do or the context of it, so if not I am truly sorry, Sir. I will buy some lures from your company soon. Promise.

But I hope you all have a blessed day today, and I hope we can move past the previous interactions and share stories.

Thank you for your time,
Brian / Jiggah

No problems on my part. I was only trying to help a member out. I never was offended thought you really had an emergency when you cancelled our trip. Been watching you and glad to see your figuring them out for yourself. Tight lines.
