There are alot of people on the internet who dont know were they want to fish on a given day or week. Instead of doing some homework and finding out the hard way by actually going fishing, they search the net looking for the recent "hot spots" and if you happen to post a "hot spot" that same person just might end up in your spot, along with a buddy or two.

Fishmaster:
Not trying to be overly critical here, but you mention checking the board several times a day...yet, after belonging for nearly 5 years...
You only have 87 posts??????????
If you want to GET, you got to GIVE. At least that is the way I see it. I check it several times a day (OK...20 times) and enjoy participating and learning.
For the board to grow and have the kind of threads your talking about, the LURKERS need to post too...not just wait for the good info to show up.
Just a humble opinion from one who posts on occasion....and learned a TON (but I'm still a cracker!) from reading the posts of, and asking questions of the members of this board.

Another aspect is that the content of the site has been heavily slanted towards pro-WSR/CNR postions by the moderators. This is certainly Bob's perogative to operate this site as he sees fit. However, I think by driving away the dissenting voices, het has adversely affected the site. A lot of those pro harvest folks are intersting people with great passion for fishing that don't see eye to eye with the WSC crowd. Driving them off has killed much of the debate on this site dealing with fisheries management and science.
Those debates rage on elsewhere. Not to say I don't understand. Dealing with all the petty name calling, etc has got to get old.
Just the observations of an occasional viewer.

You beat me too it, Mike! Well said - for a cracker. You get out of this board what you give. Heck, do a search for what I have posted. Ok, fine, 90% is crap (having fun, ribbing Doc, etc ![wink ;\)](/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/wink.gif) ), but I'd be willing to bet I could sell a book with the 10% of the usefull stuff that I have posted here. Do your homework. Do your searches. There are some real gems here. Like any valuable gem, they are not exposed, but hiddin (in the dirt?) Dig a little bit, and they will present themselves. Or, just be like "the kids these days" and take the easy way out and whine and complain on this board. You *will* be treated like the way you act. Give a lot. Give some more. Take what you see fit, or not. Oh, and like you, I have not been fishing for crap, so the best I can do is just flip some crap at ISO and Sol! ![wink ;\)](/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/wink.gif) Ok, maybe Stam and Doc, too. When I do go fishing, I usually give a report, with photos, and don't care if I piss any of you off. ![wink ;\)](/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/wink.gif)

Regarding this thread, some of us who have not posted much simply do not have the time to do so. Being self employed, I can manage only one day a week off, and as a result, connot go scouting local rivers for so called "hot spots", as I have to do all the domestic things one must do away from the business, in addition to those things that cannot be done during business hours. That being said, many of us who ask for info are doing so out of necessity, as our time to fish is severely limited. I can only speak for myself, but, I'd much rather spend my limited time getting my line wet , as opposed to trying to find a spot that may produce fish. It's not laziness to try to glean information from others, rather, it is necessary to allow me a quality fishing experience. The joy of the hunt can be greatly exagerated.... My 2 cents.. Tight lines and bent rods! ![smile \:\)](/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/smile.gif)

You get out of this board what you give. Helluva post, Parker. I agree with 99% of it. It's pretty amazing how when different people look at a rose, some see the beauty of the blossom while others choose to focus on the thorns (sorry guys, had to get that eye/vision metaphor in there somehow). Take your pick.... either this is great site or it really sucks. I too choose to believe this board is a treasure trove of good fishing info, interesting ideas, and some very generous fisherfolk who have graciously invited me to personally share in their escapades during the short year and a half that I've enjoyed this site. Perhaps the fact that I'm well on my way to becoming a "Three-peat Spawner" has something to do with it.... damn, that's a lot of posts for a relative newcomer! Like Parker, I post just about every time I go fishing.... good or bad, I tell it like it is, pics and all. Yeah, I've been flamed by some veterans for too much "sharing". I'm OK with posting locations with generalities, but I don't post exact locations to attract the masses where I think it might be detrimental to the quality of the fishery. On the other hand, I don't have a problem posting about a specific spot if it is well known or has already been featured in the Seattle Times fishing page for the past week with a feature photo to boot. The cat's already out of the bag.... sharing my own success isn't gonna do much more damage. Besides, everybody on this board loves a good fish pic. Some people get flamed for a pic that is too revealing (one that shows the secret lure or the secret spot in the background, not Mingo's avatar!). Guess what? If somebody can recognize the spot from a photo, it ain't no secret, so what difference does it make? They already know.... and those that don't won't. No harm done. Most guys chasing the hot report aren't gonna be much of a threat to the regulars at the "secret spot" anyway. They might make the day a little more crowded, but they aren't gonna put much of a dent in the actual catching. The guys that really know how to catch fish probably aren't chasing reports on this board. So post away guys.... sure works for me. Contribute generously.... you'll get it back, and then some!

You gotta wonder how people found they're money fishing spots before the internet. I know what I did.

I don't care about the fishing reports (I'm gona go where I'm gona go no matter what). But there used to be a lot more talk about different techniques. Now days it seems it's all just BS. Kiding around is all well and good a little less smack talk and more fishing talk would be nice. So I don't spend much time here anymore ether.
