I just wanted to take a second and thank every body for all the avid reports that have been coming in the last couple weeks. you guys are a great group of people and i love reading your stories. I think i can speak for every body including the lurkers that you guys do a great job at helping every body out at having a great time on the ice. every body seems to have started off the hard deck season pretty good. lets keep it rolling and remember be safe.

I have been reading the other "hot" post regarding in my opinion two outstanding fishermen, and thought to myself of this great post Chrome put up a few days ago! I am sorry no one replied and to me you nailed it on the head my friend: Gratitude!
This forum has increased my fishing abilities 10 fold. It has embraced the good ideals of the sport and has made me want to improve all my fishing ethics. I am so grateful that I bumped into Windriver at Island Park one day, who in-turn introduced me to the site. Being on this site has allowed me to catch jumbo perch (Thanks Iwanttobuggy,) it has shown me that there are others who appreciate ice camping, it has taught me ideas of curtain fishing (MMDon) and it has oh' so ever increased my ability to fish my love/nemesis Pali
es southforsky/Curt69/many others)! I know I am just that "ice" guy who only contributes for four months--but please know I too have Gratitude!
Best,
OvidCreek

Hey, thanks for this post. CJ, and thanks Ovid Creek for bringing it up.. Somehow I missed reading this one.
I'll put my thanks in to all of you too. I have learned oodles of info! As the dolphins on Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy said, "Thanks for all the fish!" Or whatever...... [laugh][laugh]

I'd have to agree. This board has been a very active board over the last year with great members posting. I own another board and still spend a great amount of time here. It's all about the community and this is a great place to be!!!
Thanks to all that contribute to make it so!

What other board is that?

I will chime in also and say Thanks to all the members here. Lots of great info, reports, hints and discussions rll across the board. What, where, when, why, how, and even who all get discussed here. This place is a great resource and other members have expressed why this site is so great better than I can.
I will post a report when I have something of value to contribute. I get to chime in when I want to add my 2 cents or just spout off. I can think about going to a few places and then jump on here and make a post or read some posts and get feedback to help me narrow down my decision. Pretty good stuff we got going here.

I am certainly greatful for the info, education and even friends that I have gained on BFT.
Today I took my family and my neighbors family to a certain location. I based my decision on many years of experience, intuition, prayer, and BFT reports.[
][laugh]
To make a long story short, we caught fish. We caught many fish, and we caught big fish. How great is that!!!
Thanks
