Straight and long, don’t use those words while Clammer is on the board, not unless we are talking about starting a golf board.

Thanks to everyone for your suggestions, input. Just frustrating the way things are going, but I’ll adapt.

And I apologize for all the singular quotes... been on this site for 15 years (that’s awesome) but still don’t know how to do singular quotes

Thanks all, tight lines

Hooters nights were fun, beer, wings, stories and nice tee shirts. Cook outs at Mikes shop always fun and good eats.

Yeah, posts aren’t what they were 10 years ago. I think there are 3 reasons

1. Facebook

2. The fishing has declined a bit.

3. The site and people are getting old. I mean, if you like at the start dates for the posters, most have been on the site for 15 years or more. Hey, we need some new posters!

Yes.... first Clinton held a stinky cigar to my head, then Obama's Muslim friends made me read it... and now Trump makes me read it because I'm scared the Mexicans are gonna get me.

Seriously though: this post was never meant to be negative or illicit rude comments. It was just a simple fisherman missing how it used to be, where most of the conversations were on fishing, friends, family fun, boats, kayaks, and fishing from rocks. We are fishermen and not politicians.... they tell lies for a living.. we tell them for a hobby.

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.

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.
