Never knew so many forum members fished Bennett Springs in the winter for smallies. Now I understand the collective disgruntlement.

Apologies to all.

Bought done here too but RPS's cooking tips are good. 3 to many bloviators.

If you think this is bad, you should be a deer hunter. They gun vs bow and killing bucks that aren’t up to somebody elses standard always get feathers ruffled.

Pissing contests and methodology debates are why we joined forums to begin with. I personally enjoy the debates and suave gotten a lot of good things from the disagreements on here.  No one person knows the best method or most moral outlook for all situations so we come here He’s going to talk to here seeking a sort of support for our ideas or an idea good enough to change our existing opinion. Smallies are in Bennett and the niangua and tons of outlets for fishing enjoyment.  Not a secret its Missouri

That's what I like about you guys.... you've learned to respectively disagree and not get offended at the drop of a hat.  New members who come on - they seem to get it too and follow suit.

The "all about me" mentality doesn't cut it here.  They get weeded out pretty quickly.  But we are also a group that looks over each others flaws... and if we've really got ourselves together, we can polk fun at those flaws and laugh about it.  Except Al... he's a pretty tempermental old guy

Thank you to everyone!  Happy December 1st!!

I think it’s pretty obvious when someone is joking, and when someone is really PO’d. Anyway we all have to walk the tightrope of giving out information that will help people catch fish and enjoy the outdoors, versus giving away locations. Even if you think “This is no secret to anyone who lives in Missouri”, you need to understand that in our world, there might be no secrets, but in the WWW world, there are plenty of meat hunters with no ethics or conscience. Why give them any info?

Then... why have a fishing forum?

I understand what you're saying, Mitch.  I just had to ask.

Any info anyone shares can be abused.  But even using that term "abused" is open to interpretation.

[Chief Grey Bear]

 If anybody besides me or my close friends is fishing a stream, it is being abused. 

That is the new mentality.

 But if you buy the lures I am hocking, you will catch more and bigger fish!
