Hello Everyone
I just wanted to say that in the past week that I've been a member here I've noticed some interesting things about this site as a new comer.
For starters I've been through about two dozen of the topics here from start to finish and noticed that only a handful of people actually ad to the posts, and it's almost always the same handful.
Now I might be out to lunch, but when there's a really hot topic, some have over 24,000 reads but only 200 posts, it seems to me that there's a lot of people on here that are here to gather information, but not share any.
Unless the site is recording every time someone checks to see if there's a new post, which it probably does, it means that either the people who are actually using this site to communicate are checking for updates on every topic about every five minutes, or there are a lot of people out there not doing any talking.
I can't remember which topic it was under but I think it was posted by Unknown where he commented that he found it humorous that people were being secretive about their fishing reports, or using coded radio messages etc. If it wasn't you Unknown , please accept my appology but I read about 350 posts over the past couple days and my memory isn't what it used to bwe.
Another member posted that he was tired of reading about how everyone rigs their herring and would really like to hear some new or offbeat methods for things that are, or might, work. I agree, we should all be willing to share new techniques and ideas as well as revisit tried and true methods for people who are new to the sport, the area, or the style of fishing. If we didn't there would be no fishing shows, magazines, or web sites like this one.
A a newbie to the site I have to say that the people who responded to my posts were courtious, and seemed willing to share their knowledge and information. To all of you, thanks.
But with the thousands of reads on the site tracking system there seem to be a lot of members who aren't getting involved in adding to the information sharing.
Once I move to the island next week I plan on wetting a line as much as possible, both fresh and salt water, and if I have something noteworthy to tell you all you can bet you will see it here.
The way I see it, 80% of the fish are in 20% of the water. That means our lures are not going to catch fish 80% of the time. If we catch them somewhere one day they may or may not be there the next. So really, in the grand scheme of things, does it really matter if you tell someone where, how, and on what you were catching fish the day before? Probably not.
Even if you do happen to be in Fishy water there are days where the only way to put something in the boat is with Dynamite.
So to all of you out there that just read these forums, get involved and make it a better place.
Otherwise we'll all have to back to serfing for ****.
Fish On!!
