Whats the point?

"it's kinda like taking a trip and never leaving the farm."

 

I'm curious as to how many people picked up on this.

 

I'm guessing your question is rhetorical.

 

You know as well as I do Roy that's the way most members think.

 

That's why this board is so popular. It's strength is in it's members and over time has attracted a singularly outstanding group of regular contributors.

 

As far as sharing info goes everyone's different. Some guys like to read In Fisherman, other guys like to read the more esoteric ramblings found in Sports Afield or Outdoor Life.

 

Personally I have a more esoteric bent when it comes to my reading and writing.

 

Each to his own.

 

If someone asks me directly for info I'm always happy to respond :) .

this board has been very helpful to me, i've done plenty of fishing but fishing nipissing for walleye and bass was new to me, and other questions ive asked have been answered, now, not every answer is a goldmine <_< but thats to be expected. I have caught some fish, and i would have posted some results by now, if i could find the damn usb cable for my camera..

 

anywhoo, if i knew that everyone fished the way i think we all should then i suppose i and alot of others would be more forthcoming in general (not just on here) but there are alot of people out there that have the attitude of "its just a fish"

Jigger, I am guilty of doing what you describe on this site.

 

My thoughts are there are far too many lurkers and people expecting a handout here. For better or worse, the powers that be decided this to be 'much more than a fishing site' which has worked to bring in volume. There are other places where I may go into more detail. Walmart vs JBs.

 

I do post fish porn here, cause as a fisherman, I love fish porn and I know there are people here who like to stare at fish porn. However, I choose not to divulge info in any reports. As you found out, ;) I'll probably share it in PM.

 

well said there Boostnawd <_<:clapping:

there's only soo much spare time nowadays for the computer... the few moment i get i'll share specific info with a close network of pals I can trust & and as well through PM's

By far the best response Raf. Well said.

 

PS. Anyone who fishes Musky in Severn Sound area PM ME. I have ZERO luck there. I cant even get a follow. I think the water is to clear, or warm or there are too many rocks or weeds. Its not me, thats for sure hahaha.....no seriously PM me please :whistling:

I post in order to learn, as I have had the worst luck this season that I have ever had. I am seriously considering painting my boat black with a white stripe down the middle.

The OFC'ers that I have shared a boat with were more than generous with their information and teaching...however I must be a very poor student.

I would be over the moon if I was able to post some fish porn, and one day it will happen. As long as I keep trying, and experimenting one day I will hit the formula for that day.
