I can almost understand not wanting everyone to know what your boat is if you are a big time tournament guy or something. But to keep it a secret because you don't like to talk to anyone while on the water has me a little perplexed? Is your time that constrained that you can't say hello to a member on here while you are on the lake. There is many advantages to having others know what your boat looks like and to be willing to talk while on the lake. You could be down here struggling and run into someone that is doing well that could give you a place to try or a color or whatever it may be that could make a differance. Same goes for someone having boat trouble. Would really suck to be the guy that is to busy to talk or have no one know what his boat looks like when he is broke down miles form the ramp when some one on here would have stopped to help out. But I guess it is your choice either way. Have a great time by your lonesome on the lake during your limited time each trip.
