Twocoda Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 (edited) I know i havent been on this board for too long ( in comparison to almost everyone) and this post is in no way intended on rocking any boats for the quality of this website ( which is outstanding ) but...( isnt there always a but) most of us that fish honestly dont care if we catch a fish .....we are outside and taking in the scenery and sorting through memories of the fish we have caught or focusing on doing everything right within our knowledge to make sure the people or children that are with us ...DO catch fish...hence giving us the rewards of the memories for the efforts... As the rod LOADS ....here comes The Cast........................plunk! Since ive been on here i have read some pretty incredible fishing reports that have given me warm feelings inside as if i was actually there to share in the experience and to enjoy the fruits of their labours by seeing the image of ( my favourite) a smiling childs face with their first fish or a new personal best of a seasoned angler or the first of a specific species ....( IMO its what makes this website superior to others)... The reports that come on this board are entirely out of pride of the poster that they get posted ( as it should be) job well done!!!!).... The Retreive .....chick ..click ....click... A certain post could be nominated by the poster if they feel that their composition is worthy ( eliminating any issues of "why didnt my report get nominated?") and through the boards polling process the readers would then select a " best report" on a monthly basis ( hence intising people to make even more quality reports and more of them) ...through previous polls i noticed you can only vote once ( good thing).... The Ceremonies...... The part no one is ever prepared for or expecting to receive....OFC memorabilia ...t shirt? ,hat?. boat decal...? ( not necessarily all to one winning report...top 3 ? Monthly sticky post of congratulations to the winners The Pay Off Actual Physical walking talking floating breathing advertisement of this site that i have become very fond of reading ..generating more traffic to support the advertisers ...generating more fishing reports for others to enjoy in their ( the posters ) adventures... This is just a concept for an idea ...i do not know of the legalities or internet server specifications for doing such an idea I was going to post this ONLY to the administrators to avoid any debates or put anyone on the "spot" but as i stated ...i dont know if this is even possible with system capabilities... it took me almost 30 minutes to write this all out ( yeah im slow) ...so i figured ...Cast it out ...see what happens...i can only imagine the time it takes for some of the EXCELLENT reports to be posted..why not a reward for their unexpected efforts ? What are your thoughts? Edited July 18, 2009 by Twocoda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonny Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 Good idea... good post. I really like the way you laid it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishnwire Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 That would be a good idea. I have to admit that I don't often read the reports...I'm in Sudbury and most are for waters I'm unfamiliar with, and will in all likelyhood, never fish. If other posters took the time to wade through the reports, singling out the ones that are most readable, I might start checking more of them out...including ones that didn't make the cut.

Twocoda Posted July 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 If i was a smert man ....i would have incorporated the poll device at the top of this thread to see what people think ...with a yes or no poll ....for good or bad idea...

Jonny Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 I think if you go back to your first post and click on "Full Edit", you can add a poll. Look for "Poll Options - Click here to manage this topic's poll" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twocoda Posted July 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 The poll thing is a good idea ...that way the people that dont want to make a reply ( unless they want to ) can just click on a Good or Bad ..while they work on putting together some stellar reports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
