toca Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 Im only lurking to find spots to fish.... Other than that since im pretty fresh anything you post I probably wont recognize unless its part of the humber and credit river. Like all trees, rivers, waters, they all look the same to me.

cityfisher Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 I also like a members only area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 I also like a members only area There are over 6000 "members". A members only section won't change anything. The same ones complaining now would still be doing so there .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jediangler Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 I belong to a kayak fishing site that allows lurkers to view all the forums except the fishing reports section. They can read up on how to rig various different kayaks, what members suggest for equipment and the buy, sell & trade sections. If they join then they can view the fishing reports section without a minimum post count. If OFC had a members only forum instead of a fishing reports section available to members only, it would still be full of NF crap like it is now. It's not a members only area we need it's a fishing reports area viewable only by the members and post count should not come into play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raf Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 jedi, this site is what it is -- too big, too commercial and too full of people who don't fish for anything like that. that is what those smaller sites are for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cram Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 Guys - this site is great. Remember that there's always a few bad apples in every bushel, so don't let it bother you when one of them shows himself. For every 10-20 great guys there are going to be 1 or 2 idiots. Its simply a matter of volume. I do like the members only area though. Makes a lot of sense. I also wonder if you guys thought about grouping threads based on topic...there could be a trout section, a musky section, fly fishing section, etc etc. It'd be great for access to content and building productive micro-communities amongst the bigger OFC umbrella.

dannyboy Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 I wouldn't join any club that would have me as a member. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rock34 Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 So people will join up only to lurker the members forum.... If anything you need to have a certain amount of posts in order to view the members forum...100-200 or something similar. That would weed out the lurkers for sure. I agree with this idea Bill. I better get posting though in order to get past that 100 mark! lol Seriously though this is a great idea. I also agree that one person "hammering" fish on a lake or river doesnt mean that the guy right beside him will. I have been the guy on both ends of food chain on that one.

ehg Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 Yawn, yawn, triple yawn After all these years this still rears its ugly head. Unfortunately, a seperate sub-forum for fishing reports could be the death of this unique website. A few bad apples... Skin thickener... etc... I want to be a lurker or am. Some non-lurkers can be elitist, who needs that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That isn't the exact point I was agreeing with. I was more agreeing with the fact that their are fishing eliteists who think you have to spend $1000 on a set up to be a true fisherman and look down on those who use cheaper equipment. Same with alot of games, golf per say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with alot of games, golf per say. Exactly, and, I didn't specifically mean cheap equipment for steelheading, I use a Diawa Tierra spinning reel and up until a few years ago a fairly expensive Fenwick rod...as far as catching steelhead, I have fished Lake Huron tribs for over 25 years, before many of the guys reading this were even born. All I was saying was any angler that shows respect for nature and the fishery, whether they can afford a $1000 outfit or a $40 one...should be judged equally. It all comes down to LOVING THE SPORT OF FISHING...not turning it into some contest of who has the most expensive rod and reel. Have fun out there people, THAT is what it is all about!!!!!!! Also, apologies to Doc, his original thread has turned into a bunch of rants about other topics, not necessarily a bad thing, but, just wanted to say that I love reading his reports as well. Don't change for one guys opinion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what your saying and I dont disagree, however...A Centrepin will put you into more fish and land you more fish than a spinning setup any day of the week and 3x on fridays,.. all other factors being equal of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, in many situations...slower water, log jams, etc...the centrepin is KING!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
