What would I do without Crappie.com? It's a big part of my life and I am privileged to to know Ed and call him a friend. Thanks for the article.

I have been an active member for the last 6 years and I feel like my fishing skills have vastly improved, although I still have a lot to learn. Crappie.com has definitely been a "positive" social networking site for fishermen and women across the country. I have made many friends from different states through the site. Kudos to a self-professed computer geek!!:cheers2

I'm in. Sign me up...AGAIN!!! Thanks, Ed, for this platform from which springs forth such good will!

Have and still an active member of several local bass clubs(Great bunch of guys) But being a member of crappie .com has taught me more about crappie fishing,jig tying,painting not to mention talking to some great crappie anglers(skip,ship,snake,nimrod,CrappiePro,(Creeksl ick a legend crappie fishermen) and to many others to mention without leaving someone out someone!!!He has the best moderators to keep folks like me in line and on the right track(for kid's and family to read.Cannot attend the crappie camps(work schedule) but if you want to learn crappie fishing no greater chance than to attend!!Thanks Ed have learned and am still learning crappie fishing!! The Best Crappie.com!!

Thanks ED ! Wow, a site that has been up and running since 1996 and continues to grow daily. That speaks for itself!

Thanks Ed, I too have improved my skills of crappie fishing since being a member of C.C. I reccomend this site to anyone who wants to learn. At a boy.:cheers2

this is a FUN place

Crappie.Com was a great idea, Ed. Wish I had come up with it!

Proud to be a new member, and I am learnng a lot from the site. Thanks!

I enjoy reading crappie.com, but rarely post anything. I really enjoyed doing the writeups the past two days on Ed and the site. Great job to you fellas (and gals!). I'd also welcome you to read lakedarbonnelife.com every day. I post almost every day and just try to have fun. Go fish!

In total agreement with Billbob. Great job Ed. The fact that you put all of your self into it show's. Keep it up!!

Thanks for a great site Ed! It was great meeting you last weekend, hope you come back for more but you can leave the cold weather home!!!

Well, someone needed to do it.......and it happened Ed has the gumption to "get-r-done"! Thanks Ed for all you do. You have given a lot of good folks a place to share & care. I was and am impressed with your ability to provide a classic site where like minded folks can communicate.
I am happy, happy, happy to get to meet you so early in my membership. You have surrounded yourself with good folks. :cheers2

Great place to talk fishing and just about anything else. Glad Slab started it up.

Sure have met some good folks on crappie.com thanks Ed!

If ever there was a website that creates new friendships, unlimitedknowledge base of crappie fishing, and great fun and laughter, this is it. There is a united commradery between the members from all over the country that have never met, that is undeniable,when a member is ill, or hurt or just having a troublesome time. I have made a lot f new friends, some i have seen and some i have not met yet.
ED has kept the site family friendly, therefore it is friendly, just like Ed himself and his wife Sharon. Great People that run a great site.

What a cool story. I hope one day, Crappie.com will come to New York.

Thanks Ed I really enjoy the site. Keep up the good work.

I am truely greatful to be part of the Crappie.com Family. I joined early last year and now my whole family has joined, including my 14 nyear old son. Fishing has alllways been a big part of who I am. It's very important to pass my knowlege on to others. I know Ed fells the same way. Crappie have always been my favoite fish. They are so beautiful and fun to catch. God Bless Crappie.com and a huge THANKS to Ed and his family.

part of my morning routine,thanks slab.:cheers2

You've created a great web-site that I'm glad to be a part of, brings a lot of good people together. Thanks for the great job!!!

Thanks slab for this great place, full of great fishers & gubers !!

Thanks Ed for your diligence in keeping this fantastic site up and running. I have enjoyed it so much. I usually spend at least a couple hours a day on your site.
Thanks again; dfar

Thanks Kenny......great group of guy (and gals) at Crappie.com.....

Read Part I and II....thanks for the story on how all this started. Also, thanks to crappie.com for being the conduit that brought two guys together to fish and become friends....one from Kansas and one from Florida. I believe this is the 4th winter we have fished together here in the Florida Panhandle. Mr friend comes down with the snowbirds each year and this time we are headed to Lake Talquin, FL next week to see if we can find a fish.

Thank you Ed!! I have made many fishing friends because of you and this website.

Crappie.com has been a plus in my life. I have meet some really good folks and made some good friends from being involved . I have learned many things about crappie fishing from lots of good people that are willing to share ideas and techniques. Thank you Ed for having this site available and thanks to all the people involved.

It's a great site to connect!
