as one of the dozen regulars who post regularly and religiously my experiences and observations I encourage all you lurkers and listeners out there to contribute also.
I have learned more about fishing in the past 6 or 7 years via the old rec.fishing newsgroup, the salt-l mailing list, and now the focused reel-time BBS. Much of my learning came from the give and take of veturing an opinion or sharing a failure and lear
ning from others w/ more experience than me.
Dive in, be brave, venture an opinion, share an observation - we all benefit.
