Crappiedoc: They will start posting when they feel comfortable about doing it. I watched quite awhile before I started posting on this site.
I will tell them that they won't be harrassed on this board as some are on other boards. Once they start they will be transformed into a junkie like the rest of us have become. Most are very helpful with information and always have suggestions for your problems.
So, when your ready take the plunge and start receiving fantastic and up to date information about most any lake or pond in your area. If we don't know the answer to your question we will know who to ask or contact. So when your ready, tap away. EB
