What intell should a real "fishing report" include?

[alanw]

I prefer to find good fishing spots from being on the water, talking to other kayakers, dropping by the local tackle shop, etc.. than on the fishing report forums.

As for this thread, I see good in both arguments.

Hot bites/spots shouldn't be posted on the net, to protect the fisheries.

Reports should at least contain some info.. general location on the earth, type of bait and method used, general conditions.

These are things everyone would consider relevant information, without giving specifics. There are some that drive many miles to fish and I'm sure they would appreciate at least some info on current conditions.

Without info the posts are just a picture followed by a dozen chest-bumps and butt-slaps.

I do agree there should be another forum just for showing off your catch.
