I can't help but think while I sit here in my shop watching the sun go down and enjoying the afternoon. We rarely give thanks to many folks on the forums but knit pick em to death until they eventually get tired of posting.

I personally want to say thanks Creekslick for moderating the forums with me. A thankless job we do and I have enjoyed your company and friendship on and off the water.

Crappie pro thanks for your relentless pursuit of the Conway crappies. You have learned the lake and shared with us a lot of your successes. Good information has been in a lot of the posts if the reader would take the time to read and not look for handouts. You help with the crappie camps has been greatly appreciated.

Nimrod the only guy I know that can persistently pick on anyone who doesn't stroll with 2 poles and use one jig per pole. I thank you for all the times we have had and shared in and out of the boat. I thank you for the catfishing instruction and cover building help. I also thank you for the past crappie camps that you put on and or helped with.

RCC, I thank habib for all the amusement and witty remarks that you can come up with. Always entertaining for sure. We all know you and carol catch way more fish than you post.

Big river marine, a pleasure on and off the water for sure. The only guy I know that doesn't need a telephone to communicate across the lake. Yep he is loud at times but has a heart of gold and would give you the shirt off his back. I learned a lot from old bill over the net and while fishing with him. Lil bit and I enjoyed the time on the water this past year with ya on Washington too. The best guy to buy a boat from around here too as far as price wise. Not saying that cause he is a friend either.

Crappie Greg, always so quite. I have enjoyed the time on and off the water too. We fished well together this year and learned a lot along the way. Along with you and cp I have came a long way with one poling. Just wish my arms wouldn't go numb. Enjoy the posts and success stories of you and your daughter also.

Matt and Matt, thanks for all the work yall do for the public fisheries. Thanks for all the post and contribution to the forums. I have enjoyed watching and reading of your growing success.

I know there are more folks on here that need to be thanked so chime in if you like. I will continue mine as time allows.
