Hunter53 Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Why did Bill leave the site? Since we are not coming down this year I have not been checking in as often and missed what happened. Just went to his page and it says last visit is just now. 🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Champ188 Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Actually, it's not much of a mystery at all. Even a guy like Bill --- who redefines the phrase "great guy" --- gets enough of putting out his very best efforts at being all-inclusive and honest to a fault when giving fishing info, only to be criticized or questioned about his contributions. I can't speak for Bill and I won't try, but he has retired from guiding and is indulging himself in other interests --- namely pickleball and spending more time with family and friends. Sometimes, we all just need to step away and do something healthier for ourselves. Kudos to Mr. Bill for doing just that. Even collectively, we could never thank him sufficiently for all of the help he has volunteered here on this site.

Always highly valued his information and input. Hate to see someone like him lose the desire to post due to 1 or 2 bad apples criticizing him. Bill is a true class act. We just bought a house on the lake at Shell Knob. I hired a guide and even though the trip was good, it wasn't as good as it would have been with Bill. nomolites, Nick Adams and Quillback 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone is always mad about something. Especially if soemone is more succesful than them. Targa98 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishinwrench Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 I'd say that Pickleball is to blame. Once a dude takes up pickleball they seem to lose their desire to seriously fish, or even talk about fishing. A few I know have even sold their boats. There's a couple of douchebags on here that I'm anxious to see join a Pickleball league. 😅 Babler certainly wasn't one of them though.😢 Mitch f, vernon, snagged in outlet 3 and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
