I look at this forum a pretty good bit, and i seldom post. I look at it because most of the folks on here know so much about fishing. My grandmother always said , you cant learn anything from somebody dumber than yourself. This site has always welcomed the novice and helped the new comer. If the carolinas are so serious about something that is supposed to be fun , then i think they missed the whole point. Here in Louisiana, we let a person get something off there chest now and then , if they dont go too far. This sport is all about family and fun , and yes at times there may be a person who abuses the situation . But for myself and i believe most folks on this forum , its about being a better fisherman . Passing it on to our children .
