I'm a loner. Always have been ... and it seemd to me that so are most people I know that love fishing. Fishing is an individual sport. One where we're normally out in the places that other people normally are not. Yeah we'll buddy up ... but we all know we are really best off on our lonesome. This site provides us noobs a way to avoid the mistakes and mishaps we would surely have made as we go our own ways by sharing the experiences of those that have gone before us. Thanks for that ... really. I am intimidated by my 19' Javelin with its 175 Faststrike (as of this post haven't taken her out yet) but I darn sure am gonna get that sweet combinatioon of glass and dreams wet as much as possible ... more safely and more securely because of the posts on this site.![]()
