Why are you on the forum? Be PAINFULLY HONEST, is it to promote your Business or products? Is it to find that honey hole? Is it to meet people? Is it to help the sport of Crappie fishing? Is it to get INFO from guys who get the fish in the boat? What do you bring to the table and how much do you take away? All answers wont be Judge by me I just really want to know why and I will post my reasons for this question after. To all the lake lawyers and politicians the forum WILL see through any BS! LETS GET REAL PPL!

Give what I can - Take what I can, and mix a little BS and banter in with it. Socializing with crappie fishing masses.

I visit for reports and the information. I share information when I can but most fishermen on here already know my tips and tricks. I also live vicariously through the forum when I'm not not fishing. This site made a 7 month deployment to afghan go a lot smoother. I also visit more than just the crappie page, I spend more time on the bass page actually. I also visit the boats for sale, whites and hybrids, recipes, and the trading/selling post. Good info and pics and vids. I am not from west Texas and its a lot different than broken bow ok and fished way different. Lol I need all the help I can get. I also pass on all the knowledge I can.

I promote my business on the TFF. I have since 2008. I make fishing lures and the TFF is nice enough to let me promote. In return I try to help the TFF and it's members out as much as I can. Hope this is clear enough for you ruffneck

LETS GET REAL PPL! I enjoy this forum and I am privileged that the TFF offers a place for me. It is only one of many forums I am associated with. It is in the top 3. I promote my business here and have done so since 2010. I give back by supporting special events (i.e) Crappie Anglers of Texas "CAT", Ray Hubbard Sportsmans Association "RHSA", Lake Tawokoni Sportsmans Association "LTSA" (assisting in the efforts in restocking the lakes) I am not here for just the sale. I am happy to assist the angler in finding the right set up for your boat weather you purchase thru shut-up-and-fish or another dealer. Also happy to answer any questions after the sale. I have attended several get-to-gathers "GTG" put on her in the crappie section. I have enjoyed meeting great people I now call friends. I have seen a ton of battles and struggles as well as a ton of sharing and giving back. I do fish and do not share as much as I would like to but I do read and learn from some great fisherman in this section. I do participate in the "funnin around" here and do praise here where praise is appropriate.

Ruff, may be the best question ever asked on here. It's an addiction, crappieittus.

Thanks Shecrappie, I will reveal my reasons today just wanted to get as many reasons as possible. Ruff, may be the best question ever asked on here. It's an addiction, crappieittus.

I used to think I could only catch crappie at night, under lights or by accident fishing for whites or hybrids. Then Dave B took me out one day and showing me that I could catch them during the day! So I started seriously targeting crappie, and been addicted ever since. The folks on here have always been helpful when I had a question, and I've learned a lot from just about everyone on here (with a few exceptions). I give back when I can by helping others with technique and locations. I'm always here, just don't always post and really enjoy reading the posts and seeing pictures from folks Id like to fish with one day

Make new friends, share information where I can, learn from the veterans. Also I do not get to fish as much as I want to because of family stuff and I do not know how to say No when they ask for volunteers. I like to see others catching fish and their enjoyment out of it.
