Joeytier Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Yeah, the NPS guys are kinda funny, and bad grammar aside, what's really the issue here? He's complaining about the steelhead warriors that act holier than thou when someone else on the bank decides to legally harvest a fish that their license dollars help to stock. Kinda bugs me too.

porkpie Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Poor use of the English language I agree , but the guy has a point. It's always been that way though, baby steelheaders lose their minds about the fish until they've got a few years under theirs belts and realize the fish aren't going to disappear if a few are kept. I can't image what they would think if they ever saw the harvest even 20 years ago at the ganny. Probably stroke out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porkpie Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Yah I know what they are all about, but the dude still has a point. The whole NPS thing doesn't bother me very much. I think its kind of goofy and sad, but If someone needs attention so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive had real pro-staffers tell me that their sponsors split-grip rods with either EVA foam, or cork are more sensitive, and weigh less, when foam is cheaper then cork, and less rings on a split-grip means money savings for the manufactiurer, those are the real reasons for foam, and cork split-grips nothing else but saving dollars, and not turning those savings to the consumer.

MJL Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 Imagine what it would be like if the $50 that was spent to pimp someone else's products on that site, went to other organizations like the Nottawasaga steelheaders, Metro East Anglers, Credit River Anglers Association, Ontario Steelheaders, Casting for Recovery, Project Healing waters and similar organizations instead. There are certainly other ways to get into the fishing industry with a wealth of contacts available if you look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Ironmaker Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 Reminds me of the Biker rag that comes out free monthly, Iron Horse I think. The authors write exactly how they speak, including all the slang and cursing. After I would read it there is a part of my brain that would hurt. After a while I found I liked it and found it refreshing as no one writes like that. No one else until now that is, my brain hurts after reading that as well.

Terry Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 (edited) ok whether you like the site,NPS or not they are not pros and everyone knows that and it did not say magazine article , it said report..he wrote a fishing report a fishing report so now we disrespect people for how they write a report or have I missed something here, (wouldn't be the first time) men of good conscience insult people privately..............lol Edited March 29, 2015 by Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manitoubass2 Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 Oh the things these PROmotors will do or say lol. Anyone here have a boat sponsorship? One of my good friends does and it is quite possibly the dumbest thing ive ever heard of in my life. He buys a new boat every season at a 10% discount. So every year he has to try to sell his boat at near full cost(which is tough to do around here at least) And after 5 years he gets a free boat Sounds like more of a headache then anything else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecmilley Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 Doesnt sound like trib fishing has changed much lol. the guy has a valid point and one reason I don't bother with tribs, on the other side there not pros for the most part, but product demonstrators Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, even if it is a 'report' its pretty sad when you cant write even half way proper english. Or spell for that matter.
