Thread: Just a thought

man i couldnt agree more with you. i want to post but unfortunately i fish a lake no one else fishes. And the report is always the same i caught them in the mouth and they were small the weather sucks every day. Actually i wish i could go fishing one day. seems like the only time i get to go is at the gatherings.

I kind of disagree with the idea. Not to offend anyone but I'm sure there are members on here that don't make post every time they go to the lake just as well as non members and really is their choice to do so or not. Member or not, if you simply rely on a report telling you where to go fill up your icechest at instead of going to the lake with an open mind that you're going to figure them out and learn something, then you're not much of a sportsman. Report or not you still have to know what you're doing to put fish in the boat. So I think the whole thing is irrelevant to the purpose of the site, which I thought was to bring a group of people together and share lots of different tactics as well as off topic posts to possibly make a friend or two, Not just tell where to go catch fish. So I say if they want to look let em look, maybe they'll see there's some good people on here and want to join the fun in that aspect, and from there pick up some new fishing ideas along the way.

Good point wax but it's nice to know if they're biting before I drop $100.00 to go find out I like to have an idea of where best to spend the little time I have and hopefully put my boy on some fish. When I could fish 2 or 3 times in a week I could stay on the fish no problem and everyone was always coming to me for reports which I happily shared all I knew. I'm not that fortunate anymore so I make the best of the time I have. But I see where your coming from and I don't have to fill the boat every trip but I do like to justify the trip with a little mess I can fry up at the end of the day. Thanks!!!!!!

i try to post every now and then. I just dont fish much . Waiting for water and warm eather. I only fish saline/larto , so I never really have much to say,cause I never catch anything :p:D the only drive ill make to fish is to Big Lake.

Just trying to bring a little cheer into the post. I think this site is great. It offers a great product and atmosphere for all ages. You dont see very many crappie fishermen my age (27). So I look up to all what is passed down about these illusive creatures and trust me they are! I do all fishing and by far crappie are the toughest! So not only does this site give us opportunity for bragging rights but endless amounts of information that is useful. Reports are good to have! But the company of fellow fisherman is better. One thing I do agree with is the blocking of non member viewing. I say be part of the community!

Thanks for the laugh Fishfor Food82,I too am new to the crappie world(ex bass angler,ssshhhhh,don't tell).I'm a little older than you 35,I have learned alot from this site already.I love it! Now you'll get out there and catch some slabs!!!:D


P.S. Just don't forget to post a report

i like the part about nonmembers not being able to view post but im not sure about the monthly post quota part. Sometimes its really hard to get comtuer time in a big family and when you work at ood times. but thats just my idea, maybe if it was only a few post it would be good.
