We've met alot of great friends and have been given great opportunities, all a direct result of SB. So thanks everyone.

Meeting great people like you Andy makes this site the best
I've met a lot of fishermen and women here and feel privileged to call them friends.
Hi Jim  I enjoy your posts
sometimes life gets busy, little time to fish, family comes first, work and other interests. maybe facebook has put a dent in traffic here like was mentioned.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

I'm still on here every day. I know that at least for my bro (lots of people who work at schools stay off of FB), that this is really his only networking site.

I also have noticed that the site has been slow. i think it may be the time of year. I'm still posting as much as ever but I don't see a lot of the guys that I use to, here. maybe it is a sign of the times. Facebook certainly has siphoned off a lot of the picture posting.

All of the above. Facebook, fishing, get togethers, getting people on the same page, ny access to the site has been less than I'd like.
How do we turn it around?

Good question John. Not sure. I don't think it's anything you did or the site failed to do. It may be just a sign of the time. If you look at the other site they get a ton of traffic but it pure muck.
Stuff like:
My bail snaps shut of my 704, why. What pound line should I use?.Stuff thats been answered a million time. Maybe the younger guys just are not gravitating here. I don't know the reason.
It does seem the social aspect of fishing is disappearing. Guys I use to fish with are loaded down with family and financial responsibilities. Even my nephew hasn't wet a line with me in 2 months. Just to busy with work, kids, etc.
Perhaps it will change over the winter

Personally I'd like to see more people joining fishing clubs and ACTUALLY meeting other people with the same interests.
The clubs have suffered due to the internet sites (so they say), now the sites are suffering due to FB? I don't' get it.
Nothing better than getting out of the house for an evening, going to a club and shaking hands with fellow fisherman/women. Small talk, have a beer or a coffee. Listen to knowledgeable fishermen.
Just my 0.02....
