A BIG 10 4 on that being well said Bill

[LD Fisher]

Bill, I absolutely agree with what you stated. I for one appreciate the information and knowledge that I have gained here. I hope that a few critical remarks do not discourage the people who are providing knowledge for us amateurs. If you have a problem and feel you have to respond.....do it in a respectful manner and preferably in a private PM

Guys, this has just been getting completely out of hand here for the last 6 months or so. You have people coming on here that are giving nothing but knowledge and asking nothing in return trying to help folks coming to the Rock in anyway they can.

Trouble is, you have to cover your A$$$ on anything you do or someone is just waiting to pick it apart. There are at least 50 full time posters on here that are just flat getting so dismayed that they are really considering stopping with their information and photo's.

If this is what you want keep up the nit-pickin and see where it gets us. Funny part about this is the people that are doing most of the finger pointing never contribute a durn thing in the way of fishing information. Outside of political, religious or product sales information, they contribute just about nothing. The first two topics will get you banned, but there are little ways around them that get exploited.

Here is the deal, Why in the world are we calling out people that are trying to help us. For gosh sakes send a personal message if you have something negative to say. Don't call out people on an open forum.

Set back take a deep breath and lets get ready for a great season of fishing and the wonderful knowledge that this FREE forum provides for all of us here in the Ozarks.

I would just like to thank Bo for posting reports and his jigs are sweet as well. I find your reports to be killer info that I need and appreciate as Trock is my favorite lake to fish. You can hold the fish however you want IMO I know yer throwing them back for someone else to have an experience with.

I'll be the first to admit that I fall on both sides of the fence.

I contribute what I feel like is a fair amount of valuable info, and I can assure you that what myself and Donna post here is God's honest truth. We don't exaggerate and we don't sandbag. We fish 1-2 days a week about 9 months out of the year, and I freely divulge the lures we caught them on except for withholding a specific color at times, and I'll tell the general areas where we found them. I may get a bit more stingy with information as tournament season approaches, but I'll still give the basics and what I post will be accurate to the best of my ability.

On the other hand, I sometimes get grumpy and make negative comments. Guilty as charged and apologies all around to anyone I've offended. Seems I need to do this annually, and it's usually right about the time of year when the water temp gets down close to 40. I'll try to be better about that going forward.

Phil runs a great forum here and Bill does a fine job of moderating the Table Rock page. Let's all try to enjoy it in the spirit it is intended, and I'll do my best to set the pace for our newer guys, as I know many other OAF veterans will do the same.

Kum-ba-yah around the campfire, boys. (But I'm still gonna snicker if you're wearing a sublimated jersey.)

The people have spoken.

Mishandle, gut hook, whatever all you want. As long as you put them back it's all good.

And as I said before, great fish.

[KCRIVERRAT]

Yeah glad we got a tutorial on the proper way to pose with your fish haha

You're so smart........ HAHA

[KCRIVERRAT]

Its the internet. Thin skin will never last. Bo doesn't seem to be very thin skinned.

The internet is a good place to enlighten fishermen like Bo. And you to Terrierman.

[dtrs5kprs]

Creeks must be frozen up...

[Chief Grey Bear]

Nope.

Have a great flow and quite active.
