Thanks to all that share. Crappie fishermen are true americans

All my life I have been a sportsman and I have tried to find time to enjoy the outdoors. I grew up farming with my dad so from my Early childhood until I was 40 I spent numerous hours helping or pleasing my dad. I have also worked for almost 30 years in the fire service and emergency management providing assistance to this in need. Of course like all of us, a wife, kids, work, divorce and debt has kept me out of the outdoors for pleasure more than I should have let it. I have tried to become a crappie fisherman for the last 10 years. I got to be ok in Eastern NC in the rivers, then a new marriage moved me a little far away. Learning to fish new water has been challenging. This week I went along with my wife on a conference to Greensboro NC. I thought here's my chance to go to some lakes I have heard so much about.
I reached out for help and information on the site. Shortly Matt answered up with everything I could need except limo service to the dock and a guided trip. Many times I have asked and received from some of you on this site. I see many other postings that you answer up to. No matter if it's a new guy, trammitic health issues,what to do or where, you have come through for those in need. I want to thank Matt personally and to each of you that offer help. In this crazy time we live in it is great that so many of you have kept true to our heritage and history by enjoying the outdoors and helping us who don't make time like we should maximize our time on the water. Matt thanks for helping me catch one of the largest crappie I have ever had. Thanks for keeping my faith in us as Americans and helping each other. Thanks for making me want to be better at crappie fishing so I can pass it on.
