Gerritt Posted March 25, 2008 Report Posted March 25, 2008 I caught a fish, it may or may not be trout......could be a salmon, i'm not telling. There might have been more landed, possibly even more hooked, but I'm not saying. It could have caught in a Lake Ontario tributary, possibly not, but definitely in Ontario. Anyway thanks to the community for letting me share my fishing trip, tips up! OK that right there is dang funny!! LOL! G
highdrifter Posted March 25, 2008 Report Posted March 25, 2008 Funny how this topic has come to light since Snag started posting! You're an instigator sir! And I'm open to any colour of bucket. If we're biased to say, grey buckets, this would leave out a lot of opportunities. White, grey, yellow... I've sampled them all.. and they're all good! good thread! cheers HD
jjcanoe Posted March 25, 2008 Report Posted March 25, 2008 I post specific spots and even GPS Lat/long lots of times. I even posted the coordinates for spot right out in front of my house once and watched for a couple of weeks to see how mant people fished there, None! That's because we all came at night after your lights went out! jjcanoe
snag Posted March 25, 2008 Report Posted March 25, 2008 Funny how this topic has come to light since Snag started posting! You're an instigator sir! I'm just paranoid and selfish. I eat pike and I don't want to go hungry. Simcoe is too far to drive. Toronto is convenient. Hug Nater, That's my new rule. S.
Dondorfish Posted March 25, 2008 Report Posted March 25, 2008 If you really want to get to know everyone in a hurry - just post the picture of the 2 headed pike that your buddy caught - or the 12 foot sturgeon that you, and 8 of your buddies caught one night while walleye fishing - or better yet - post the picture of your great uncle that caught that 70 lb pike from lake simcoe - I am sure that you'll hear from most in a very short time! Basic rule - if you can't 100% vouch for the validity of the picture - don't post it! Don
highdrifter Posted March 25, 2008 Report Posted March 25, 2008 I eat pike and I don't want to go hungry. Simcoe is too far to drive. Toronto is convenient. Oh I get it! You wanna avoid anymore down time by sterilizing your man goods the cheap way huh? LOL!! HD
darsky Posted March 25, 2008 Report Posted March 25, 2008 DON'T FORGET ABOUT TYPING YOUR WHOLE POST IN CAPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TJQ Posted March 25, 2008 Report Posted March 25, 2008 never wear a pink tutu, unless u WANT it posted on the board every now and again for everyone to see and laugh at you, never post your new muskie recipe and never, ever worry to ask advice about anything and everything, because someone on this board knows how to help you Three very true statements...
Guest lundboy Posted March 25, 2008 Report Posted March 25, 2008 There are also "unwritten rules" that are not specified. These usually end up having your thread locked or having the post/thread deleted entirely without explanation, like it never existed. You will usually see this when it is something political (which there is not any written-defined rule against).

You will usually see this when it is something political (which there is not any written-defined rule against). And there's also one's personal decision to have a thread pulled..such as I have done many a time. Just "blame it on the rain" Edited March 25, 2008 by twilight
camillj Posted March 25, 2008 Report Posted March 25, 2008 Fish crisp vs poached ... Musky ... even if its 'legal' left hand vs right hand retrieve cast vs troll All very legitimate grounds for discussion

You will usually see this when it is something political (which there is not any written-defined rule against). Often a political thread or something that just doesnt "sit well" with one fo the mods will get tossed.... this is true. Usually if one of the mods is concerned the thread is getting distasteful, it will be locked and or pulled.. Ive done it a few times when someone or something was getting bashed, and it was enough.... no hard rules for those.....
lookinforwalleye Posted March 25, 2008 Report Posted March 25, 2008 imagine that mentioning a lake or river on a fishing site! Oh the shame. There are a lot of touchy issues some justified some not so much so, but the biggie is mentioning a fishing spot.
muskymike Posted March 25, 2008 Report Posted March 25, 2008 Hey guys, I need some places where I can hook some fish in a few weeks, please let me know the time of day, exact location,what tackle and techniques I should use .....oh wait, wrong thread....
mikeh Posted March 25, 2008 Report Posted March 25, 2008 and if your post gets deleted don't post how upset you are and demand an answer, fell free to pm a moderator and they will try to explain. And if you are still upset TURN YOUR COMPUTER OFF AND WALK AWAY.........
TJQ Posted March 25, 2008 Report Posted March 25, 2008 Ya... lol.. those are the ones the mods love!! Subject: Why did my obnoxious and spammy thread get pulled?? I want my money back!
danc Posted March 25, 2008 Report Posted March 25, 2008 Rules are subject to interpretation. We do our best here and it seems to work 99% of the time. What really makes this place so successful is you guys. The members. Somehow this message board has managed to attract a great bunch of people. Simple as that. Much like best friends, we occasionally argue. No big deal. We move on.
Photoz Posted March 25, 2008 Report Posted March 25, 2008 NEVER NEVER take shots at the sport of kings . . . . CARP FISHING!
TJQ Posted March 26, 2008 Report Posted March 26, 2008 NEVER NEVER take shots at the sport of kings . . . . CARP FISHING! Ya ya... we all know about those elitist carpists.....

pigeonfisher Posted March 26, 2008 Report Posted March 26, 2008 DANG, Beer, Chicken Wings, Elitism!!!! Anything you can imagine has been discussed on here, sometimes pulled, sometimes left alive to live it's course. We have had family and friends have great successes, great heart aches, live through pain and live through the support of the OFC. As with anything in life, you can watch and learn the environment which you live. Understand what get's punished and what doesn't. Sometimes you will find that the good old boys network will prevail, praise be to the good old boys!!! You will get upset because your post gets pulled but Big Cliff posts the same thing in two days and it is met with great reception. Such is life. If you feel you need to defend, rather than explain your position on a certain subject you may consider whether or not it belongs on a fishing forum. I don't defend topics in life as I tend to get emotional in defense. If I can't respond in an explanatory or enlightened way then I don't do it. In life and here. Enjoy it kids. It won't be around forever and if it gets abused it will be gone before you know it. No spell check, grammar check, OFC RULE check or other checks have been performed on this post. DANG, BEER, CHICKEN WINGS, ELITISM
bassboy Posted March 26, 2008 Report Posted March 26, 2008 Pigeonfisher.... Thats the same reason why I keep my mouth shut a lot of times too Anyway....does not matter if I post the exact location and bait used at my fishing spots.....I dont catch anything anyway Bill
danbo Posted March 26, 2008 Report Posted March 26, 2008 The moderators are always right & will hunt you down & deeply probe you if ya make trouble!
