I mostly lurk here and am on all day, every day I'm at work. It's like a form of therapy being able to step away during the day.

Jimbo its not that they think all Jersey-ites are argumentative and dumb.....just some! Besides.....they have domestic dummies like myself here so really no need to get any out of state help in that regard!!!:rotf2::rotf2::rotf2:

ok
 
johnr define a major ? :huh:

having beer here a long time..... and quite addicted

i have found that S-B has had a detrimental affect
on how often i fish....due to living thru other's (vicariously) fishing
adventures instead of making my own...on the one hand....

but it increased my learning of ART which was fun for awhile
but i have largely abandoned that in the last year or so

Yet, i have learned a great deal about plug making and continue
to learn saltwater concepts which i have yet to put into practice.

S-B for me has become my facebook over time because the cast
of characters many of whom i have met continue to entertain me.

Frankly I am not a fan of face book or any of the social stuff, I find that much to distracting and unnecessary to broadcast my every thought to every friend and friend of friends...it's silly. My kids are into it but I find it a waste of time .

I like sites like this because it is focused.

I come to this site cause it's pouring out for 3rd day in row (not complaining, great summer wx here ) If nice, gone fishing. suspect wx has a ton of influence on when people come online. Nice day tomorrow. Later. tommy

I just came back after a long hiatus earlier this month - forgot the password for my username and tried a few times to figure it out, but was not that successful. I was never a heavy poster, but read the forums heavily for a couple of years.

For me - a change in job positions along with on-call 1/2 the year and being a coach for youth sports for 3 seasons killed my free time and unfortunately my fishing. I would check in (not under my screen name) and read the posts. Living 50 -75 miles from North Shore or Cape doesn't allow me just to head out after work, but I still love fishing. Just got back from an all-night fishing adventure on the canal this morning.

[QUOTE=MrHunters;790009]i wonder how much $ has been lost in productivity due to s-b.com :rotf2:


I gotta say - I don't post a ton but do check the site probably way too much.

I started by using / posting on the other site but agree on the what rod, the constant upselling of "greenies" and plug porn oh and if you aren't catching large and lots of them you aren't a good fisherman can get old.
There is a learning curve and simply a fallout of time spent doing it. I guess the people seem more realistic on this site.

I spend a lot of time here, check in at least 5 times a day. Im a creature of habit. This place cut the learning curve of surfcasting for me considerably. I still pick up little things that help on occasion. This isnt the place for the swapping of plugs but it is the place with a bunch of good folks who know tons about fishing, and pretty much anything else.

kippy 08-27-2010 08:53 PM

I still check the site on a daily basis..however having a little one now has put a damper on my fishing. Hope to get out soon.
