Thread: Slowing down

I have asked slab to have a members only forum for the Arkansas members that would contain useful information and encourage more participation. I hope that the waypoints I posted would be stickied in the members only section also or at least stickied to be readily available also. I would hope that others could and would add to the data base but I understand not sharing with the World Wide Web. I am not sure of the status of this feature but if it is something that you guys think might benefit the site don't let the idea perish. Not sure what is involved in doing this but it would increase work for the moderators so extra help may be needed. Slab I am still open to helping with that if needed.

Whether it was due to my opinions and others openly stated about the crappie tournaments locations to be held, I applaud the name change of the association to reflect the locations they are to be held. I wish you guys the best of luck now as I did from day one.

I am especially proud of all the new members who responded to my lurker thread and comments made. The site cannot continue to be run on just the old goobers(me one of them) without new blood brought into to the family per say. Continue to post your results and you will benefit from the others who will post back on your threads. Take what is given and use the information to better your self and your fishing method(s). Develop your own style to make yourself more productive.

To all the pm's I didn't get a chance to respond to on more wypt's I apologize but I don't feel it is the time to disburse more than what I have done on the open forum. The intent was to get more folks involved in that type information but it seems to have been more one sided with folks wanting wypts than giving up some of there own to make the pool of info larger. The agfc wypts are available however not easily obtainable from there interactive mapper.

I have one more thread I will start that will provide useful information to all jig fisherman in the near future. I hope you will enjoy reading it.

I also have fishing products coming that I will need to get to someone for the spring camp for whoever is going to be heading up the door prizes. Please contact me with address to ship to.

Lmbarnet I still owe you and yours a fishing trip and look forward to the day when I can call you and say bring em the bite is on. Thanks for your donation and desire to fish in my boat!!

So what I am trying to say, I guess in a nutshell I will be reading more than typing for now. Tight lines to all!

Stick around and keep posting bud....its all good

ABH thank you! The last several months I have not had the time to go fishing (life happens). But I could turn this thing on at night and read your and others posts and read about your trips and look at the pictures. I didnt have much to contribute except to offer my prayers when they were for. After your post about lurkers and you posting the brush piles I posted about you "losing it. Well I meant it as a joke and Im sure you took it that way . Then some folks made some unkind remarks. Im sorry that I ever made that post. Now I want to thank you and others for your posts, they helped the days go by. I hope to be going fishing again real soon and hopfully I will run into you on the water but I will still be looking for your post. Sure hope to see you and all the others at camp.
