Yo Aaron! LJ 8/24 am - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

While many who read this don't remember, posting recent conditions (good or bad) used to be the norm - if not obligation. When the LJ kayak fishing community was nascent, we used Allen Peugh's board for posting, and then things migrated to Jim's board. Slowly Greg's, Cory's & Andy's labor of love (aka: "BWE") became the popular board, with the community's cohesion and general openess remaining.

While BWE became proprietary a few years back, it seems of late that there's a prevailing norm discouraging posts that detail aspects of a recent hot bite. Its obviously each to his own but I, for one, miss the times when all who fished LJ felt part of a community, and comfortably and unreservedly shared information on these public forums.

WTG Dennis!
