BWE Down for a couple of days - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

lamb · 05-01-2023, 08:39 PM

We got it back up gang. This thing has been going on for too long to let it die. It happened to many other kayak fishing forums that were alive back in the day. We need to try hard to preserve some history.

No, we were not hacked. There was some corruption in the database after the hosting gang did some version upgrades.

Thanks for your patience and sorry for the inconvenience.

Tight lines all!

Anyone know how to save your fishing pictures without
sending any money
Incase we lose BWE permanently.
I lost all my pictures with new phone number.
It's been a hell of a ride, since 2000 something

And then they wanted to charge me for all my fish 🐟 porn. Who needs a monkey 🐒 on your back for the rest of your life. I said no way Jose and lost that crop of fish pictures. Thank God for kodachome and Canon AE1 and
A fish eye lens my only fish pictures 📸

Thanks Adi. I was hoping it was not because the site was going the way of others. Thought it might be technical issues. It's great to have BWE back up, now here's to hoping the fishing picks up so there's more posts and fish porn. Tight Lines!

Me too.

I thought since I was not posting kayak reports, I was banned.

Good to see it back.

Thank you very much for keeping it alive, when I first started kayak fishing this was the place to get info, ideas, what to do, what not to do, and it still is. I log in almost every night just to see what's going on.

Thank you.

Mitchell, if you can see your photos, right click and select "save image as..." and you can place this photos on your hard drive.

Aldi the explanation and preservation of history is appreciated. I get a lot out of reading previous fishing reports from my old fishing grounds.

Thank you.
