Like many newcomers I have read many of the forum topics before and have been on BR often just in the course of my day to day fishing research. But I was decided it was the time to really join the forums and actively contribute. I do most of my fishing from the bank and consider some of my most valuable time fishing is giving back to the community. I try to clean up a lot of areas I fish, (picking up trash, recycling mono, etc), as well as eagerly sharing tips, advice, and good attitudes with other guys on the bank. I look forward to more discussions and information gained through the great community here at BR.
