rps Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Phil, good point. However, many people desire instant and personal gratification. That will not change. I know you know that, but you are preaching to an empty choir box. What is really sad, to me, is that someone could go to the archives you have built up on this forum and educate themselves on any species on any Ozark water, in a very short period of time. Rather like having five years of Fishing Facts or eight years of In Fisherman.
trythisonemv Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 I have found that all the posts negative or positive on this forum serve their purpose. I learned about plateau here and have shared tips and tricks with other people,I even have bumped into family on here! Also I have seen rudeness and bitterness, some of which was warranted and some just cabin fever getting out of hand. All in all it is a place to learn and make acquaintance with other anglers who just need an outlet for the fishing blues. Happy or crappy learning is the best function of oaf in my opinion. Lurking just seems kinda silly since you can't be seen anyway so join and learn! laker67 and Phil Lilley 2
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted March 20, 2015 Author Root Admin Posted March 20, 2015 What I don't like is when someone asks about fishing in an area they're heading to fish. They get good info and then do not report back about their trip. Daryk Campbell Sr, Smallieguy87 and J-Doc 3
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted March 20, 2015 Author Root Admin Posted March 20, 2015 A fishing report about NOT catching fish is as good as a trip when you catch a lot. Daryk Campbell Sr and J-Doc 2
fishinwrench Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Probably 90% of them end up not even going, or going somewhere totally different. Phil Lilley 1
Guest Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 You make a fishing report in other areas, say Bella Vista & it gets 600 views & no comments. Folks could at least chime in with something. Lets says into only 1% of the 600 views, thats still 6 comments. Instead its crickets
J-Doc Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 And people wanting free info only in prep for their trip and never returning the favor here by reporting results of any of their trips. And if they do, extremely vague or not really helpful. Now I've reported some vague details before, some of us have also. For a variety of reasons at the time I'm sure. Ihave also reported very detailed info as well. At least I think I have. Questions like "Where are they biting and with what" as the subject and entire purpose of a post thread kill me.

J-Doc Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 I do love this forum! As do many of us. I've personally met several great folks on here I now call "friends". Including Mr. Lillley of course!!!
