Every year is getting shorter...

[Aaron&Julie]

Chris(if that's your first name), this is not directed at you, but at a general direction that has been ongoing for quite some time now...

This website changed...6 or 7 years ago...don't expect timely reports from the "experts"...you have to be on their email list to get in on the hot bite.

I absolutely loved this website 12 and 13 years ago, when we didn't all worry about EXPOSING hot bites and ruining the fishing for us kayakers....bah-humbug

Of course, nowadays we have to worry about giving out "hot" info, otherwise we won't have LJ to ourselves, PBs and other bro/sister kayakers will be horning in on our locale...bah-humbug.
Do we need to treat LJ like it is our own surfing environment, for locals only?

The ocean is huge...Julie and I will continue to give out timely reports...always.

I don't like a lot of other PBers out there, or wads of kayak fishermen out there either, just like the next guy/gal, having it to ourselves is AWESOME.

If you need to keep the "bite" to yourself, why post it on a public forum at all?
You had a great catch, helping no one else along the way, do you really need more glory 3 months later? Hoo-rah!!! You da Man!

Just keep it among you elite, at the time of the bite...don't tell us how great it was 3 months ago to show us your accomplishments and how well you did WAY back then...WTF does that do for us now?

Yeehaw, you scored, YOU ARE AWESOME! Thanks for the info that absolutely does me NO GOOD today.

I'll be condemned by some here, mostly likely applauded silently by others. This isn't necessarily Julie's opinion, tho' we do see eye-to-eye.

Ouch! Ok here's a report...

One of the following fish was NOT caught this week in LJ:

A. Halibut
B. Yellowtail
C. Yellowtail Tuna
D. White Seabass

For a minute there, I swore I typed in the wrong web address. This Place is sounding a lot like bloody decks.

Late posts, complaints about late posts, folks trying to interject politics needlessly...Bloody decks here we come!

I agree, but provably not for the reasons you think. The whinny start to the post of fish reports not being timely enough. That is what made me think of Bloody Decks! If some of the people who put down Chris had actually been on this site and read post more frequently then they would know his original post was months ago. He was just reposting it as a joke to those who spend too much time on here complaining while not getting on the water enough themselves. Maybe some of those same people might have even seen his post on how to read Fish Finder sonar screens and how to set up the units for best result. It's like they are waiting for the hot bite report before bothering to go out themselves. The ones that are up to date on bait location and recent fish catch areas, are the friend in circles of people who spend 1,2 or 3 day a week out there and text or PM each other. I see nothing wrong whatsoever with that. As the start to this post say's time is short get out there and make the best out of it, without waiting for the "hot report".

Thanks for bringing back that awesome memory! Was paddling around find HUGE marks everywhere but couldn't get them to bite. Paddled up to you to ask if you were seeing them too and your like "yeah... Their definitely WSB pulling the two massive heads out of your yak and nearly flipping in the process (Legendary recovery by the way)! awesome day!

[chris138]

No worries guys... I see it from both sides. No hard feelings here, I have tough internet skin cheers everyone!

I know its annoying when people just try to farm views for their youtube channel, but lots of people ask me why I dont make more videos so I just wanted to share.

[alanw]

Maybe late posts just don't belong in the fishing reports forum since they aren't relevant to current fishing conditions? Put em in general.

[ceviche eater]

Wow great post! I don't get out a lot and when I do it seems like I never have time to post but that is a cool video!!

[LEEZO]

[lamb]

Congrats!!
