The reason why more people don't click on the forum is because they don't see the link. I know its right there in plan view but most peoples attention is directed to the middle of the page to see the new reports. I bet when people go to the site and see no new reports they just close the browser rather than looking to see if people are talking on the forum. If you had the forum link in red and put a image next to it that said "NEW" more people would look into it. I don't post on here that often because the Internet has a billion more active forums specifically for bass fishing, but when I do post or have a questions specific to the NW this forum is great. I just think more people need to know its here and helpful. When I first started looking at reports on WL I would sometimes want to ask a person a question or make a comment to a report they posted but its just not possible. If more people knew this forum was here 99.9% would use the same screen name they do on the reports and it would be very easy to identify who is who. I use the site for the lake reports, weather reports, Bruce's bassin' articles, the forum and many other things that are great tools for fishing the NW.

I hope this is helpful info from a new user prospective as to why people don't check this firm out. I really think its just because people just don't navigate around the site. A ton of people that post reports have a ton of questions about fishing. Local fishing! This could be the #1 spot to talk about Power bait, crank baits, and catfish bait without a doubt.
