yup this isn't everyone's cup of tea, hope you find a new home that suits you better
but
but
like any Community there are good days and bad days
good guys and bad guys
jokers and serious people who only want to see post about fishing
some of us if we don't take or meds, we can get out of hand
some people will always jump on others about how/where/why they fish/how they hold the fish/and release the fish but that's life on every board...
but if you hold a dead muskie/bass on shore with it's faded dead eyes, do say you caught it trolling and released it or only had it on a stringer to take a picture...or you will get people jumping on you
don't tell people you went fishing by yourself and after a while put a minnow on you second rod to see if that would work while pitching top water, then get upset change you story and get all pissy ..you will get jumped on
if you ask a question and someone takes the time to dug out the old photo, scan it upload it and give you the info you were looking for...say thank you..or don't be surprised if he has a negative reply on your next topic ..
if you ask about an area to fish and someone gives the names of some lake where you want to fish..say thank you...don't just leave that thread dead and start another one asking for info on them lakes, then wonder why no one wants to respond to you or give a negative reply to your next post..
in most cases you get what you give
make a point to acknowledge people who have resounded to you question
....
oh
and lots of people will make a post on your thread that has nothing to do with your topic and you get mad
but they were helping you..they couldn't answer your question but by posting on your thread it brought it bak to the top so more people would see your question
hey where is the OFC COMMUNITY song...... we need it here
