While this learning-curve is taking place for you, why not sit back and watch a little before getting upset. Once upon a time Dave would post often, in some peoples minds "too often". I can remember a couple of "sensitive-bites" that he openly shared the same day. I don't think anyone would get upset about a random fish report. Go ahead and give gps#'s, water temp, clarity, depth, iron-color, and time. I personally don't care who posts what and certainly don't consider myself someone who can say what is "too often or too sensitive". Simply, the idea that you "deserve" others hard earned information is ridiculous. Be happy with what you get, learn to read between the lines, and there is no substitute for time on the water.

Oh, by the way I fished today. The water temp was 58.1, with twelve-feet of visibility, tons of greenbacks, and an entire fleet of boats with not one fish caught.

It seems that Dorado50 was just sharing a bit of wisdom. Nothing beats
time on the water...

...it's just that his delivery was a bit "edgy". But what can you expect from
a grouchy old man.

D50: thanks for all the info you've passed my way over the past 6 months.
It's definitely made a difference in my fishing. Now how about that report?

Im still paying my dues, but I will say that being on a Kayak really cuts down your "fishing range" on the water, its not like I can just fire up 225horses and blaze off to the 390.

I dont blame you guys on bit for trying to keep the bite on the DL. Stealth is one of a Kayaks biggest assets. Nothing will shut it down faster then a lot of PB running around everywhere.

So keep posting the way its been going, a few days after the bite. If I need intel I'll drop by the launch or PM a few friends, better yet Ill just go fish. Time on the water is what its all about, fish are just icing on the cake.

The out of town guys, I feel your pain on the gas and time. Make a few more friends that live here and let them know you maybe coming down. Ive seen nothing but great guys paddling around out there, Im sure the info will flow. Hope to see all of you out there. Frank

If someone is the first to know that we are being invaded by another county, you better post it! If the fishing is wide open - you better enjoy it. Give me a break - "to post or not to post?" - that is not an ethical question. I like this website because it is good to see other people who love this as much as me. I post when I catch a big fish, because I want somewhere to brag - as you can tell I haven't had much to brag about. To me the whole point is to get away from the politics / B.S. of everyday life. If you're getting hung up by what others are doing, I think you're missing out on the fun.

I am amazed on the selfishness on the water. Whatever happened to sharing information?. You plan on taking it to the grave or something?.

Tailwhipped · 02-29-2008, 07:11 PM

I may have an idea on how to solve this posting problem. Why not mount a web cam on the top three WCW contenders kayaks and we can get a real time look at all the fish reports we need.
lol lol lol
