State forums for members only.

[Daily fishin]

Hello guys,

I come here to try to find out how to fish. I do read a lot of what/how you guys do it. So far the best I can do is 2 fish in an outing. No matter, its good to get out. My point is, I would be considered a lurker as I don't have anything to contribute as far as fishing, locations, technique etc. I can see the sides of the discussion as some of you guys really want to share info but are cautious because there are some that abuse the information without contributing themself.

I think having the State forums restricted to registered members is not a bad idea. If someone wants to put something out for general consumption it can also be put in the main forum. As a non contributor at least I can thank someone for the information they have posted if it helps. Just common curtesy.

Give it a shot, see what happens.

hey, daily fishin. a contribution can be in the form of a question as well. the question will generate a variety of answers. there is a;lways some out there who has the same question who is afraid to ask and is thankful that you did ask.

some good reasons for doing it and not doing it. What about a seperate forum or sub-forums JUST for fishing reports that is member only access based on activity (recent and ongoing) rather than just xx posts. Easier to do or harder for you Ed?? This might keep the lurking and spot stealing down or control some.

Go for it. Still not sure I'll ever post reports like I did at one time though.
