first off anyone thats worried that their lake will get messed up or over fished because of alittle info posted on a fishing forum better step back and look at who owns the note on the lake and land around it because if you dont own the lake you cant say how many or who can fish it
birdy or xxl can tell me today how they caught fish color depth even gps location that dont mean I will catch them or that they will even be there when I show up
as a few people have already said we that dont get out alot or dont catch a often as some, well we live through those of you that do catch alot or fish alot
anyone that posts info however indepth with their info I say thank you very much you give me and others hope that a good day of fishing can be had by all
and if you tell me that I have given to much info or should not share my luck with others well ............. all I can say is
Thats the reason i dont post as many pics like i used to. The lurkers.

Keep on posting what ever you want. I appreciate it to the max. Your not the only one that gets hate mail. Lol. I've received a few myself. F. Them. Hey , not everone can catch crappie just cause someone says there biting. But I can catch a crappie out of a mud puddle If I try hard enough
Post away. That's what this site is all about. Crappie fisherman helping other crappie fisherman. I say turn the names of those who sent PM's that crossed the line to the Mod's and they should be banned from the site. We don't want nor do we need those types of members here.
Have some of these Lakes seen more pressure because of guys posting success stories on here? Absoulutely! Does that mean that the guys who are reading the posts and heading to these Lakes are catching the fish like the OP's? Absoulutely not! I have made 3 trips to Rend (1 1/2 hour drive each way for me) because of the results and info I've seen on this site. One member who guides there was kind enough to reply to both PM's I have sent him asking for a "little" help. My first trip over was at the peak of the spawn during the flood in 2011. I caught 16 fish while the Lake was falling thanks to that member's help. I've been back 2 times since then and caught a total of 2 keepers. Just goes to show that the fish don't jump in the boat. Local knowledge is something that "Lurkers" can't find in a post on the internet.
I gotta make sure I keep my wife away from Delmar...
This site is great! I have learned so much from many on here and there's a certain young guy that steered me in the right direction, that sure helped me put my wife on fish. I hope Slab does lock it down so that you have to join to see the posts, etc!
Hey i think I have a solution to this issue. If someone on here does not like the fact that we crappie fishermen or fisherwomen share on here then guess what dont be a member to this awesome website. This is a PUBLIC forum. Just because someone doesnt join doesnt mean that they shouldnt be able to read post. Go fish and have fun. I live three miles from lake shelbyville. If anyone on here wants to go walk the banks down here with us, give me a pm and your more thank welcome to come fish with us. heck i will show you where the brush is.
I have no desire to have anyone banned from this site based on any pm's sent my way, I just wanted to vent a little. I answered those pm's to my satisfaction and have no desire to out anyone. If you are gonna say something, own it. I personally feel that criticizing me through a pm is a little cowardly, but to his credit, one of them did speak up on here and owned his words. I may not agree with him, but I respect him for stepping up.
I do appreciate all of the responses to this thread.
