I've been a member here for a few weeks and have to say how impressed I am with the whole forum. My nickname is spinningwheel (long story) and I live in Brunswick with my best fishing buddy, my wife, and our two kids, 15, and 13. We have a 23' Imperial that we recently purchased and we're racked in Beaver North. I spent a long time fishing the lake and it's streams/rivers but haven't had a boat for over 20 years and seem to be a little behind the curve as far as the fishery and how it's developed over time. We were at Dave's today and I just want to thank him for all the willing advice, for helping us pick out several pieces of tackle and for the way he made us feel as though we "belonged"; which is something you don't really find at Wal-Mart or a lot of the other fishing tackle suppliers I have dealt with over the years. Looking forward to a long assosciation with all of you!
