CG you have made fishing reports in the past, i wouldn't consider you a lurker, don't be a stranger.. I believe the "lurkers" everyone refers to is the ones who never register, just check the reports for any scraps the ones who do catch fish leave behind. This is a forum for learning... But a lot of people here have a lot of time and patience invested in figuring the patterns/locations of the fish... Just don't want 12 random strangers sitting ontop of your favorite hole on the next outing. If I see some (a select few) that post here, it's no problem, we usually pull up along side and talk and fish awhile.
