One expert did, to wake up the knuckle dragging masses.

"They think we score all the time and are up to our eyeballs in fillets. They don't notice when two weeks go by and we haven't reported a nice fish. I'm out there 3-5 days a week, every week, all year. I didn't catch a YT in Feb, Mar, April, or May despite putting in close to 400 hours on the water. I didn't catch a point fish from Jan 6th to April 7th. Weeks like last where I load up are the reward for those long stretches of futility."

I hate it when people take my picture in the morning before I've had my white russian...

If this gets locked, fishdude's response should be the last in this topic.

Todd nailed it with the evolution of the fisherman, but I'd like to submit a corollary...

The evolution of the fishing website

The early days
Small site is started by someone whose gotten into fishing enough to care and has the basic computer chops to get it going with minimal hassle

The underground
A few friends and longtime guys like the relative quiet and start to post, other serious guys find out and join in. Info flows freely.

The glory days
Most of the "regulars" get clued in and join. A jocular camaraderie is established. Info flows freely.

The beginning of the end
The regulars enjoy the new board so much they stop posting on the old boards. Their absence creates a void filled by newbs and know-nothing know-it-alls. Someone wonders, why doesn't X post anymore?

The migration
Word gets out that the new board has better info than the old board. Know-nothing know-it-alls cross over, but find the old guard insulting and condescending.

The transformation
Soon the new board starts to look like the old board. Someone wonders, "where are all the fish reports"

If a few of the regulars have a lot of time on their hands, an unnatural affinity for bran muffins, and no sense of shame, then the site can morph into a free for all BS site that just happens to have some occasional fish info. Otherwise, well, I guess we are finding out.

I think I'm the know-nothing know-it-all. That should be my signature.

Time to find my own fish report... Where's my coffee.

Does anyboady want to talk about and report secret fish recipes and cookie recipes instead? I think alot of you guys are holding out!!! Thats what really BURNS me!!! I hate you!!!

Relax people! its just FISH!

Froman · 02-29-2008, 02:18 PM

I blame this guy, but I think he is a fraud!

lol

Handymansd · 02-29-2008, 03:05 PM

Since this thread says "fish report"..., has anyone seen anything besides greenies the last few days, or is it a secret?

I can go out tomorrow and find out for myself... but then LaJolla is busier by one kayak on a Sat.
Or I can stay home... which means fewer yaks OTW by one.

Hmmmm, decisions....

Wait, I HAVE IT!

...if everybody posts negative catch postings, or starts posting pictures of their greenies instead of YT and WSB, then the La Jolla overcrowding problem will be solved right? Then everyone will be happy?

Well then... I'll start, since that's all I catch anyways!

I went out this last week and caught 27 greenies and two mondo smelt in approximately 30 hours OTW!

Froman - I think this is actually Tommy! Mystery solved.

Hmmmm, posting fishing reports on a fishing site???? What a stupid idea!!!lol

dorado50 · 03-03-2008, 09:46 AM

I did'nt intend to cause an uproar by my insignificant opinion at all! If you read it again all I said was that a first hand fish report is the best report, thats all. At least Matt ,and hopefully afew others as well, understood the context of this opinion. I must say that expressing an opinion on this site is like taking your life in your hands, the rage and hostility I can't comprehend. See you on the water, I'm not going away anytime soon.......

Check this out..
When Froman was killing it on the the bugs a while back, I sent him a PM and told him we could share lobster spots and /or I would make it worth his while.
After a couple PM's back and forth I ended up sending him a couple Costco & Hooters gift cards just as he requested to "Casa Basura" in Baja California.
- When I finally got the lobster GPS numbers ...ended up being a Aisan market in Chula Vista.

Pfffftttt.

Anybody got a light?

Dennis · 02-29-2008, 04:22 PM

Shit, bring on the popcorn... or is there a popcorn eating icon?

Is any of this going to matter if/when the MLPA has their way with the Jewel?

Let's enjoy it while we can, and stop acting like little bitches!

Okay, now I'm done.. Roll Mex, we got to set up our next hooping session... before the season ends.
