My only point to this thread was I REALLY miss the old site where it mostly fishing talk. Especially in the current environment, politics should be far from fishing. I get mad at myself every time I read that forum as it has become nothing but the same 2 sides telling each other they are full of crap or racists. Ya I know "then, don't click on that forum Dummy" but when its the only thing to read, I cant help but read it. It's like when you were in the bathroom (Pre smart phone) and would read anything near the toilet, including the back of the shampoo bottle or toothpaste. Ok my rant is done... for a while this site was like Field and Stream was for me as a kid... it left me feeling entertained and educated about fishing and family. I miss that.... and to me.... that is sad.

Hey my friend, I live in the "interior" called Burrillville. When I was fishing 100 nights a year it was Narragansett, Watch Hill, Tiverton or the Cape. Everyone of those were 125+ mile R/T.

Back in the 80s, pre-moratorium, during the moratorium and after the moratorium. I got skunked for 2 Friggin" years coming out for the moratorium.
You mentions "too much effort for not much reward" If you are a Striper fisherman, that was what you did. Now, everyone goes to the Canal with their smartphones and waits for a post with a pole number so they can kill a 40 and, after they take a million selfies, they throw that noble fish in a god damn dumpster.

All valid suggestions. The sponsor point is well taken. Habs is still at the top of almost every page.

For what it's worth, I'm not sure John is into the site the way he once was. Lot of work with very little monetary return.

I don't blame him





What I was doing for a while was putting this site (and fishing) in front of my family and the mortgage. Sorry - can't do.

If someone with a bit of tech and fishing prowess wanted to partner ; ) I would consider it.
