Back a few weeks ago I was going through the forum and looking at post and since I had not been on here in a long while, "working, kids in sports, husband duties, among other things, so one of my sons graduated from high school so that took some of the real busy stuff off of me! Three sports for a high school senior and you are a busy parent! Anyway, as I was trying to catch up on some of the post I had missed, I was just generally enjoying the stuff that I was looking at and of course commenting on "some" of them! Next thing I know, I was getting post about flooding the site with old post. At that point I was like "what"? Then I looked back and saw that every thing I posted on was showing up as recent! I was like, well what is the big deal, I haven't been on here in some time and even had to request my password and username as I had forgotten it! Then a few days later I get back on and everything I had posted on had been removed! I was told by another user that it was removed because some people don't want you to get your post up to high! Why? I thought this was what this site was for. Anyway I begin to think about what the big deal was, so I spoke to another fisherman from the forum that lives down the street from me and he tells me that it was because after a certain number of post you can fish in the CFF tournaments and someone took offense to it!!!! "LOL". Trust me if I do ever get to the number of post it takes to enter the tournaments the CFF, I don't think you have to worry to much about me winning it! I really do enjoy tournaments, don't get me wrong, but it's more about enjoying the time on the water with my sons or whoever else I fish with than about winning! And by the way, never have won one and only have got big fish one time out of all tourn. I've ever fished! Just started fishing them again after about 6 yrs. of not fishing them. Now I try to be Extremly careful about what I do on here as I don't want to offend anyone! To all the other sportsman out there, tight lines to you! To the ones that take offense to us rookies posting, that's probably why we don't! See you guys on the water!!!

i don't post much anymore because I stink at bass fishing, couldn't catch a crappie if my life depended on it, so I fish for catfish. all of my reports would read the same (caught lots of 2 pound cats and the occasional 8 to ten pounder. sounds pretty lame when guys are posting about 3 or four over 50 pounds in one night. when I post I get a thumbs up from rsimms and one from ericm ( emoThanks by the way guys) emoWorthy you two guys have taught me a lot from your posts and I fished with ericm one cold February day, I got two tarp blue cats that trip and they are still my pb. I still use the one as my profile pic.

 

[takenoprisoners]

Hahahaha...I hear you, bassnbug. My reports always seem pretty lame, but it's a contribution. Suppose if more of us little-time fishers would put reports up, it would encourage more small-timers to do the same. That's my hope at least. And just about every time I put a report, I feel like I put up three other posts asking questions. Feel the reports are the least I can do to give something back - even if all I'm giving is an opportunity for folks to laugh at me.

 

[Jammer]

I enjoy reading the posts and I don't have anything to add except "Good Job", gets a little lame after a bit. I've only been out a few times since we moved here and have been trying to figure out the river below Nickajack And the lake area above the dam. Having enough trouble with the boat to be annoying, hard starting and then runs great some days and real rough others. ?? So here I go... this would be my usual posts Whining!! The boat won't run, can't catch fish ... Blah Blah Blah.
I'd rather read and learn, you guys put a lot of great info on here. I'll change my plugs, clean the carbs and keep on tryin'
Thanks for this site!!!

The fishing reports section is the most useless section on this site.

Maybe you should post a few reports to enlighten us as to what qualifies as"useful"emoPoke.</p>

For starters, nobody that fishes competitively is gonna post accurate details. This forum was started as a local friendly deal, but there are people that do look at this that do fish bigger trails, and look for hints. This is an open forum on the internet. If someone does post details, with directions, you cant get on that hole anymore. I for one dont post for that reason. I enjoy the rest of the forum, but I do not pay any attention to the actual fishing reports.

 

[fishnaddiction]

Joined the other day and I plan on telling how my day on the water went. I am retired and go at least once a week. Wednesday. Sometimes I go up to 3 and 4 times a week. Gets kinda rough around the house when the 3 and 4 times happen but its worth it.... "she has to work and I don't". I primarily fish for crappie and sometimes fish for bass. Last wednesday Oct 30 I started fishing the docks. Caught a few small ones. Not good. Decided to troll. Tried an area 14 to 20 feet of water. caught a couple of keepers. 1:00 rolles around. Go to an area with about 25 feet of water and caught a few there. Trolled to an area with 15 feet of water. The water was calm and there were minnows with fish. Finished the day with 13 keepers. Started slow but turned out pretty good.

I don't post much because I didn't have a boat. But come Monday or Tuesday my brand new skeeter will be rigged out and ready for me to pick up. Look out chickamauga here I come.

 

[riverrat58]

I am not looking for information on where exactly to catch fish on the chick...my questions are usually aimed at just getting me pointed in the right direction and the right time of year...I can find my own fishin holes ( i think) but not having fished there in 7 years and the reintroduction of the grass have changed things alot.
I dont mind telling someone how I caught fish but i wont give specific details..I might say I caught them on a rig or a jig out of 20 feet of water ( and I wont be lying) ....but there are a few precious details that i omit.

 

[seajinx]

As a new member to Bass fishing, Don't know what I can add. I joined this site in hopes I could learn Bass fishing techniques and gain some knowledge. My grandson loves to fish, but you've got two newbie tadpoles with no sense of where, when or how to catch Bass.

 

[Mark St]

Love the forum, just don't like to sit and type. Plus it's time consuming when I would rather clean my boat and rig my stuff to show up and fish a tx. Work 55 to 60 hrs. A week plus raising two kids, and a wife with cancer. I'm lucky just to go fishing let alone post a bunch of threads that I may or may not know what I'm talking about lol. I read the tx thread mainly and show up just to give my money to the pot cause I'm a amateur. I would like to fish the CFF trail but it would be foolish to just post a lot of misalanious stuff just to be eligible to fish it. Just my opionion. Very nice forum tho.

 

[drumking]

I used to post 3-4 crappie reports on here per week and at one time was the number one poster of reports. Several of the guys that I have taught how to dock shoot and fish other techniques would post as well. Not as many as I would do, but several reports so that people could get a pulse on what the crappie are doing. Then about two years ago, crappie tournaments became a monthly affair and suddenly most everyone stopped posting. Oh, I heard the usual excuses for not posting a report. Too much trouble to resize pics. I can't type, don't get to fish but once per month, etc. ad nausea. So, I stopped posting on here too and started posting on crappie.com, still under the name drumking. And on my FB page. If you are a friend, then you get a reader's digest condensed version of our fishing trips. This is mainly the reason that I stopped fishing the tournaments.

Sorry for the people who have told me that they really enjoyed the posts that I made. But, you can get caught up on crappie.com if you want to. emoGeezer

 

[OneBigDaddy62]

I just started posting and have had mixed responses. I asked a question about redoing the top cap on my Ranger and replacing the carpet and one guy was very helpful and even put me in touch with some. However I also posted a question about Navionics Cards and all I got was chirping crickets. Honestly I am not at all used to this. I moved here from Dallas/Fort Worth Tx. area and when you post to the Texas Fishing Forum you get a number of responses before you get your screen refreshed good. Maybe it is just me but since you asked I thought I would do the right thing and take the time to respond.

Big Daddy,,, Ha Ha, I used to post on TFF and on 2coolfishing ( I live in Houston half of each year)..yes, those are BIG sites with lots of daily contributors. I don't know the numbers, but I suspect this site is tiny in comparison.

Yet, I have enjoyed any threads in which I have participated. Good guys with good information. Everybody is TN/GA friendly, and that is a very good thing. Great place to live, IMHO... richg99
