But the internet voices have made it very apparent that they have no use for reports that involve or utilize FFS . The last thing I want to do is start another argument on that crap. So I remain silent . I really enjoy reading Dutch and Quills reports and anyone else who posts. Sad the hot topic yesterday was a bifocal post haha. To quote T.O. on the old Sunday Night NFL pregame show: "C'mon, man!" 😄 If I offended anyone here with my rants against FFS --- or Johnny, or killing bass, or the prevalence of tournaments, or ... 😆--- I do apologize. After so many years here, you assume that everyone knows your sense of humor, which is impossible in a chat room. There's also the fact that Wrench and I share the dubious distinction of speaking what's on our minds pretty freely. It's liberating at times, troublesome at others. More the latter, usually. I keep trying to order a filter on Amazon but they haven't been able to fit me yet. Do I wish FFS hadn't been adapted to fishing? Yes, definitely. But that doesn't trump anyone's right to own it or love it. By all means, don't withhold a fishing report. I'm sure our moderator or Phil would speak sternly to anyone --- myself included --- who attacked you here in any way. I just don't want to be "that guy" who causes anyone to shy away here from posting a fishing report or stating their opinion on anything fishing related. If I am, I'll step aside myself. Scopers gonna scope; winders gonna wind. cheesemaster, DADAKOTA and Daryk Campbell Sr 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scopers gonna scope; winders gonna wind. I’m def not calling anyone out . It’s not the context of whether you’re for or against . Love it or hate . It’s the actual conversation I can’t stand . A mere mention of FFS gets an instant reply of “here’s my thoughts on FFS”. It’s played out and I just choose to not engage in the conversation to the point of not posting just on the off chance the post turns into … well kinda what this one has .

Dutch Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 I know what you mean. Nearly every thread in here goes off the rails sooner or later, many sooner. If you would like to communicate via pm, feel free to do so. I stay in touch with some who no longer post that way. Targa98 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Champ188 Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 I'm personally looking forward to moving back to Hot Springs Village soon. It has 11 private lakes (mostly fished by retired northerners who don't give a flip about catching bass). It's like Bella Vista except bigger and with gates to keep the place secure. And in addition to the lakes, there are nine awesome golf courses that look like Augusta National compared to Bella Vista. We are still close to a year away from actually making the move, but preparations are underway. I'll also be fishing lakes Ouachita, Hamilton and DeGray --- as I have all of my life --- so any OAF regulars who need a reliable report on those waters, just PM me. If you aren't an OAF member or are fishing for tournament info, move along, please. Like many here, I've grown weary of the freeloaders who just want free info and rarely come back to give a report on their efforts. cheesemaster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see it totally replacing your bird dog in the field. And it wouldn't eat nearly as much or require trips to the vet. LOL ness 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next thing you know the pheasant and quail populations will drop worse than they are now. Regulations will change. Bag limits will be a think of the past. Only be allowed two trophy birds per trip. Some areas will be non-FFS and those that are will be stocked with birds like the trout parks. I can see this thing snowballing. It's a slippery slope. @ness better start saving up. Each year you will need to upgrade FFS bird finding units. Please leave my doves alone. 😁 Champ188 and Daryk Campbell Sr 2 "We have met the enemy and it is us", Pogo If you compete with your fellow anglers, you become their competitor, If you help them you become their friend" Lefty Kreh " Never display your knowledge, you only share it" Lefty Kreh "Eat more bass and there will be more room for walleye to grow!"

ness Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 I suppose I could get one of these https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2024/09/19/louisiana-drone-missing-girl-found-video/75297197007/ Actually it’s mostly about the dogs for me.
