What happened?

Are you being serious again?

Hey, maybe you can start a forum titled, "For Noobs By Noobs" where we less skilled guys can share experiences, ask each other questions, and brag about our accomplishments without fear of condescending responses from guys with years of experience, 1000-hp boats big enough to have helopads on the front casting deck, and rod/reel combos that cost as much as the GNP of a small country. Personally, I just read a guy's question about a Plano 3700 tackle box that was an inspiration for future fishing trips, but am reluctant to reply because I'm not sure I won't get laughed out of that forum. 

 

Then, when we need help, we can go to the other forums to ask questions and pick the brains of the experienced guys. There is SO much information on this site that I can start reading and get overwhelmed.  But I wouldn't change a thing about what you folks have accomplished so far!!!! You have made this site the premier source of bassin' info and I spend hours here trying to soak up as much as I can.  Excellent job, and thank you!

Relax Art - no one's laughing at anyone about anything posted here.  

It's all about 'sharing observations & information' (credit to @Paul Roberts for that one).

Even the experienced anglers know that great info & ideas can & do come from all levels of anglers all the time.

So I'd encourage you to take it slow and know, while logged on the this forum, you're ALWAYS among friends . . .

btw - nice dive into the archives  . . . .

This is five year old thread.  Guarantee you he'd be weeded out today.

You might want to check how you're sorting topics.  Pick "Newest First," "Unread Topics," and "Last 365 days," for best results.

A-Jay and Franco 3:  Thanks so much for your responses and I guess I didn't make myself very clear.  From my short time as a subscriber I have experienced terrific responses. Any questions were answered, and some silly conversations occurred that were, for me, entertaining and enlightening. But to give an example (paraphrased) regarding an inexpensive reel, "I fish (choose one) 10/20/30 tournaments a year and I wouldn't use it."  I'm not sure how that benefits someone like me since I probably can't afford the cheapest reel in his/her arsenal. Anyway, since such things are very few and very far between, I withdraw my comment.  Might be good to get rid of it and the resultant thread.  But I did notice that between you there are approximately 40,000 posts.  ?  Might be fun to see if any noobs have an interest.  By the way, I've already learned to respect and value your comments when I stumble across them. Thanks again ... but, Hey!  I'm a noob! Whaddaya expect!! (Geez! I crack me up!)

 

Franco 3? I meant J Franco.  Sorry, but I type as accurately as I cast with a seven-foot rod!

Don't sweat it.  The whole point of this site is to new people over the learning curve, and catching fish consistently.  We have all levels here.  I probably fit somewhere in middle.

J Franco:  Roger that. Yeah, my nick says it all.

Heck, I am new to , and post when I  think I have something to add to the thread. Sometimes I make a mess of it too Not all will ever agree with a post. Post away as A Jay said we are all friends here.

 Now lookie here if everyone liked the same thing, it would be a big fuss over women.

 Well bigger than there is to begin with  lol

Oh and check the expiration date of the post too

OK,Guys!  I already said I withdraw the comment!  Cut me a little slack here.  We noobs are authorized to screw up. I checked my noob contract and it's right there. Sheesh! Where's a danged moderator when ya WANT him/her to close a thread? I learned a lot from this little faux pas and ain't gonna do that again. It was just a thought for an an additional forum, not any form of criticism of what's already here. My bad.
