What Happened?

[numbskull]

John Skinner taught everyone all there is to know about fishing.
DJ Mueller taught everyone all there is to know about the canal.
Custom plugs became about getting rich quick rather than about catching fish.
Killing big fish got harder since they all got killed when it was easier.
It is faster to post selfies on Facebook and more people can admire them there.
Too bad you missed the good times.

in a short word - father time... People get old, some pass away, sometimes life just gets in the way, low cycles in fish make some less interested, instant gratification and internet "cowboys" rule the day, the "midnight riders" are fewer and more secretive, fearing muggings at the hands of the instant gratification crew...some have switched to other more "user friendly" interest... and some of us are "business as usual" just scaled back due to the afore mentioned father time, we just aint talking about it.

it's his ONLY post of the year...I bet if he started an interesting fishing related thread people would be happy to discuss....it's like going fishing with someone and not bringing any gear or lures and the complaining that someone else's gear and lures suck because you aren't catching any fish with them(trying to keep with a fishing topic)....if this was the beer forum...it would be like going to a cookout and not bringing any beer then complaining that you don't like the beer that everyone else brought

this is the media age...we want to click and be entertained by someone else without lifting a finger and then complain when we aren't fulfilled

if there isn't enough content for you try adding some....it's free

Start more posts here and stay out of the political forum - toxic as it is ; )

I am working 60+ hours a week for the mortgage paying gig, if someone want to do content and run it for a big cut, let me know

This. Plus some of us had kids and only faintly dream about fish these days.
