Hey here is a suggestion, grow a pair, show some restraint and if you don’t like the political forum don’t click on it; seems pretty simple or do you prefer to just angrily rant.

You have to be the most insufferable person on this site.

While I really dislike the chosen delivery, this statement is absolute truth.....

I could be wrong, but I think the age of us originals and social media sites has either reduced the interest or changed where it’s discussed. Look at the name of this site and then consider the state of the stocks, last year I never when out with the intent to target stripers and when I did catch them, I never stayed on them long. My fishing interest is sea bass and Tog early and late season, rather be golfing than fishing at this stage of my life.

Bring back Eel Man and I can get into a good fishing debate, boy did I have some fun debating methods and presentations with him. Early on this site scheduled a bunch of get togethers which certainly helped bond us together and keep the discussions active. Facebook and the pros and cons of social media has changed where, how and if you even want to share information. Might be great for the charter guys to promote their business, but it can turn your favorite spot into a sh*t show, the canal a perfect example.

How is the rehab going Ross?

Finally going well, Bob. Walking well. The knee is not consuming my every waking minute, as it did for eight plus months. Yesterday marked one year from the fall that forced me into having the replacement. Still need to have surgery (arthroscope) to remove the newly formed scar tissue that is blocking me and limiting my range of motion to 105 degrees. Hoping to get another ten to fifteen degrees. But I am not going to schedule this elective surgery anytime soon given the current health care emergency.


Bart, I know John has had the tools available to handle this all along. He just doesn't publicize it. Removal or censorship has never been taken lightly here. While I have disapproved of the forum for many years, I am more disgusted by the lack of decorum and respect by our members within that forum.

Well said, especially the latter part. I respect you and everyone knows you’re a good and respected man. It just pisses me off when people have The nerve to tell him how to run his own site. He’s not getting rich off this as we know. We all learned so much and made so many friends bc of this site. It doesn’t sit well with me when someone disrespects John when he’s been consistently fair with everyone. I know I’m preaching to the choir so please don’t take my comments as being directed towards you.
