seiner exhaust and 1000000 gpm squirt hold pumps can put a slight damper on a bite.

An "old fart's" lament
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!

I believe that you mean: When you fish alone, you PREFER to fish by yourself (aka. Thorogood)

Yes.
Fish when you can, share if you want. Definitely don't need a report to go fishing. No one is getting down on those that report. Plenty of reports go around via pm too which is a great function of the board. And the privacy of it all really serves an unseen purpose and plays an important role in keeping the fishery strong and maintaining our access to such a unique place. Reports of good fishing eventually make it on the web and those people that want to just go "catching" can try to swing in on the tail end of hot bites with the crowds after reading the "dope" online. Those that want to get up at ungodly hours, put in the time on the water, and put up some zeros all to eventually hit it on some unexpected wide open days aren't waiting for reports and they definitely have earned those few uncrowded days/weeks of great fishing before the masses come moving in. Reports are fun for passing the few idle minutes at work, but you can get the same stoke out of reading those stories with or without a delay. It shouldn't change whether you end up going fishing or not. But there are never any fish in LJ anyways so really no worries! Nothing personal Bob. Just my 2 cents which is probably worth a little less than 1/2 that. Dennis...yeah, I was on a revo, just haven't updated my bio thing. I guess I could do that now...nah. I saw Jasmine and I thought he looked a little blue. |
