What intell should a real "fishing report" include? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

If we know what a report should entail, then why ask what it should entail?
Sounds like we are chasing our tails.
I personally have never had a big fish report from LJ. I have had cool nature encounter reports though and share those.
I will share the report of my first Yellowtail catch.

we have bragging boards, its the 30, 40 and 50lb club.

a good report gives 8 digit coordinates and pics of fish, launch condition and bikini wearing women. or just the fish and women in bikinis.

Even if people post the most detailed report, it wont help you catch any fish and that's exactly why this thread exists....because you're not catching fish on your own.

your so blunt. This is America, were all about hand outs!

but this is true. knowing yesterdays bite wont help you today.

and more times than not, "yesterdays" bite is really last weeks, or last months bite.

i cant tell you how many times i went after yesterdays bite and came back skunked... shoot i remember a morning chasing Drakes "20 minutes ago bite" and striking out. as he pedled home with 3 on the PA before the sun could shed light on the west side of point loma.

That's quite an assumption...you sound so matter of fact...you don't know me or anything about me yet you somehow know I don't catch fish on my own. I'd suppose you know this because I don't post any hey look at me pics and or spend to much time here trying real hard to make internet friends?

a fishing report can be anything and everything. from "skunk" to "here's a pic of a massive fish that i caught and i wont tell you anything else"

if EVERY report had..
1. fish caught
2. hook, line, weight, lure, bait used
3. specific location caught
4. depth caught

then.. poachers would hit a gold mine. and our honey holes would come up dry very fast.

best way to get great intel and a great detailed report: you make friends. if you share info with someone to help them hook up... they owe you a favor when they find a hot bite.
