Charles and I spent some time on the water today looking at new places to fish and trying out some new jigs. I got to the Ebenezer ramps a little early and had a chance to meet Ltmcleod (Troy in real life) with his Father and one other person. Troy has a Sea Pro and they were headed out fishing. Say "hi" to him if you see him out on the water.

The next thing that happened was a new one for me. Another guy comes and launches his boat right after Troy. It was obvious from his boat that he was a serious crappie fisherman. After he parked his truck and was walking to the water, I spoke to him and asked if he was on Crappie.com. He said no, and then said those guys have ethics just about as bad as bass fishermen. I was a bit taken-aback and told him he must have those of us on Crappie.com confused with someone else. Later in the day, we both ended up taking our boats out of the water at the same time and we had a good talk. The two of them both limited out and we spent some time talking about the day.

The reason I felt taken-aback from this guys comments are that I feel completely opposite. Honestly, of all the folks I have met personally from Crappie.com, I cannot say anything bad about anyone. We have developed a kind of brotherhood and friendship with each other. I think this guy has us confused with somebody else. I can definitely tell you that I am proud to be a member of the NC Crappie.com family.
