To do a fishing report or not to do a fishing report? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I wasn't going to make a post on this tread, but I feel too strongly about the subject to not speak up.

No - I would not post a timely report on BWE, or any other internet forum.

I have been told many times by powerboat fisherman from Bloody Decks and including The Blackman Forum members how they regularly search our site for Fish Info/Recent Reports about a bite.
Especially the West Coast Whoppers Forum

I have been told..
"we are as tight lipped as the mafia" .. true statement there, but it still doesn't dissuade them from searching our forum.

I don't mean this in a sarcastic way:
"You can catch quality fish everyday of the week in LJ - look down, they are swimming right underneath you !"
---------------------------------------
I don't consider myself an elitist, or superfisherman - and I do not want to deprive any member here of quality information.

Rather, I respect the hard work, and long hours spent covering miles of water reading ever changing conditions and searching to locate fish.
Those members have no obligation to hand over their hard earned information to anybody.
-----------------------------------
Getting away from the computer will be your best chance at catching a quality fish.
