I was recently blessed to find this amazing board. I live up in Pickens and after fishing Jocassee for several years, I've decided to focus on Russell and the Hill this year. This is the most helpful board I've ever encountered. Most boards won't give you the time of day as far as help goes.

And help, is what I'll need. The missus and I fished Allen Creek on Friday the 5th and found plenty of wind!! (and seagulls) Actually 'fished' is a misnomer because I was in the first two hours of breakin on my new outboard. The 13 year old Tohatsu 15 needed to go and was replaced with an 8hp Merc 4-stroke. What a dream.

I fish a 15'-6" Gheenoe, which also has 13 years on it. After all the bigger boats I've had in life, I settled on this one for retirement. Oh, did I mention I'm a retiree and mid-week warrior? I don't do Saturdays any more.

I really look forward to meeting some of you fellows and getting to know you. I probably will be pretty regular here also, since I have a long history of hanging out on assorted BB's.

I lurked for about a week until Ed could un-glitch account activation - so I already like what I see of the tone of this place - A LOT!!

I look forward to a long association. cap
