I’m a lurker that has been viewing the board for the past 3-4 years, and I must say there are lots (too much) nit-pickers on this board that like to show off they’re knowledge more than an actual fishing report contributions, and it really does bring down the quality of the threads. My advise to Bigredfisher, is if you’re looking for information, use the search tool, and you’ll have several years of reports for your viewing, and you don’t have to deal with the Online Fishing board Nazi’s that threaten the genuine fishing attitude and make-up that this board at one time had.

 

Tip – If you want less idiot posters (one on this thread already) simply do not respond to them, don’t fuel the fire, and they’ll stop or better yet go away for good. It’s simple message board economics, lol

 

 

Oh ya BTW - I don’t post here because I don’t have to, but I did join because more members give more $$ to the mods, and they deserve it for this undertaking that is OFC.

 

SO what your saying is your like a hemorrhoid kinda hanging around outta sight and every so often pop out to cause discomfort. Preperation H is now being applied liberally to you.

Not singling you out but aren't people like you the root of the problem? Those who are prepared to sign up (not sure about the mods getting any $$ for it) and take what they want from others without giving anything back?

 

I understand people not wanting to say "fish here, with this bait, at this depth, on this rig" as trying things out is how you learn and become more competent but I can also see how it could be interpreted as unhelpful.

 

 

You're right on, this is the exact problem as to why some fishing questions aren't answered. People lurk around, read reports and take and take and take but offer nothing back. They want to know exactly where to go, what to use to catch fish. Instead of doing the leg work they expect someone else to do it for them.

 

The other problem is the silly season is beginning. Everyone wants to catch the big "salmons and trouts" in the rivers but instead of actually going out and fishing for them they sit in front of their computer instead.

 

Like you said when people ask for beginners help and tips it's fine, and people will help. But when people ask for specific info, about locations especially, you have to understand most people don't want to give their hotspots out over the internet.

Looks like an early fall...

 

Man I have been hanging around here for years and taking notes on all the spots and still haven't caught anything. Maybe I should give up and start hitting the automotive sites.

 

FWIW most people just like reading the posts and the seeing the fish porn. They are not trying to corner the fish market with insider info.

 

If you don't like it remember what they say... "You should have been here yesterday!"

 

Bonne Chance

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

I cause no discomfort here tough guy, just don’t post reports because of the lame comments from people like you. What’s with the attitudes of some of these people, seems like this message board is all what they have going for them??? People get so defensive over the most insignificant things on here, GO FISHING!

Great place, great people, great resources. Thanks to those that have helped to answer some of my questions. Dont see how you can get too bent out of shape over someone you've never met not playing nice on the computer.

 

Offer help where you feel you can. Post some pics. Here like this...

I would like to know what happened to the OFC board. This used to be a great board with lots of info. Now all it is is a place to run people down when they ask a question. Comeon people come on this board wanting to get some info and that is what it was made for. Now everone is afraid to make a post asking a question without getting run down. I will no longer be visting for a while because this has got to be too much. I post a question about my car even and get run down what the hell is with that. This board needs a serious "clean up" and untill then i will be sticking to ************

 

I HAVE HAD ENOUGH

 

I've never understood the reasoning behind one's need to announce their displeasure before they depart. Is there something to be gained by this?

You've mentioned this before. If it annoys you, you could always start up your own fishing message forum and format it any way that pleases you. :D
