I am a boat less member for right now and new to Crappie.com. This was my first social and I was looking forward to meeting some of the nice folks that I had been talking with on some of the threads.
I asked if anyone had an open seat that I could fish with. I received an invite from a very nice man to fish with him by the handle of Hunter. We conversed by email for 2 weeks before the social to get a game plan to attack the crappie at a lake that he had never been to and I have not fished in over 20 yrs.
Then the week before the social he emailed me that he had to cancel due to a personal matter. He really felt bad about letting me down. I totally understood he was upset so I told him I would be fine and he did not let me down although I was heart broken. I think that's only human, but I hoped all was well with his personal issue and wished him well and prayers.
So then I set out to find another open seat. Not knowing he had already asked for someone to try and find me one.
I was able to get that open seat with the help of Country Boy NC and Red. See they were going to team up and fish together. Then when they heard I lost my seat they decided to split up and take 2 boats and Red gave me a call to invite me on his boat.
I really had a great time with Red and his nephew although fishing was tough that day. I also had a great time at the fish fry after the fishing and met some really super nice people. I want to thanks Country Boy NC and Red for working hard to find me a seat and making me feel like I was part of the group.
You don't find folks like this very often, and so I wanted to write this to say thank you. I hope to get my boat and vehicle in working order soon and head out to more socials. Like Red and Country Boy NC if I have an open seat, I will share it with someone in need and try to show them as good a time as they did for me.
Thank you for listening.
