Hey Yall Watch This-
You will have to forgive me being so sarcastic, I was having a moment but am over it now. Yes, I am new to posting on this forum, but have been reading it for allot longer then I have been a posting member. It's not that I am afraid of getting slammed for posting something, the point I was trying to make but did a poor job at was everyone has become so negative when someone posts anything they do not agree with. It is almost like people are sitting at their computers just waiting to pounce on someone. I am a member of some other boards, non-fishing, mainly hunting and shooting forums and I never see the type of tension or slamming that I have seen on this board. Don't get me wrong, I am not slamming this board, it is by far the best fishing forum/board out. The point you made about talking to members off the board and them being more friendly, I agree. Have had email conversations with a few members of this board and people are much friendlier in a private email. Maybe it is because they do not have a captive audience at that point, who knows. I came to this board to learn information and tips to try to help make my future fishing outings more successful. I go fishing everyday during the week, so I do put in my learning curve time. I get to fish from 3:30 until dark. Some times I catch some and others I do not. Would like to increase the percentage of days I catch fish if possible. I understand people’s problem with the snaggers and their fear that they may be coming to this board to learn where the fish are in the river and not want to post information. That frustrates me because a few bad apples (snaggers) spoil a good fishing forum for the majority. I have no proof but do not believe many snaggers come to this forum to learn about where the fish are so they can go snag them. So when someone does not post information because they are afraid of the snaggers getting the information it frustrates me, hence the reason for my rant. Thankyou for your polite response back.
