The problem isn’t the political forum. No one is forced to go in there and if you don’t like it, stay out. The problem with this site is that there are rarely any posts about fishing. It would be great to see posts about people catching fish or what lures or techniques are working. Unfortunately, I think most people post on FB now because they have a bigger audience and want to see how many “likes” they get for posting a pic of a fish they caught.

I motion that all the guys complaining about the political forum refrain from visiting it and focus on starting interesting fishing threads

Sad but true.
I’m 14 and greatly prefer the site over Facebook.

I don't go to the PF. There's no need for me to express my political beliefs nor is there a need to critique every political post that is made.

If you don't like it, don't go there. No one is forcing anyone to visit that Forum.

I agree that there aren't enough fishing post and I am guilty as I haven't fished much since I sold my boat.

Hopefully that will change.

I think the site needs some updating but I know John has a "day job" and doesn't have the time to devote to the site that he use to. The revenue generated by the site probably just about keeps the lights on.

No boat, back in the suds.

this is very cool, you have me thinking about being 14 and loving to fish at every opportunity...I had a little pouch that I got at the Army Navy store with a blue and white Atom popper, a blue/silver Kastmaster and a black/silver Rebel and that was what I rolled with...drove the 10 speed to the jetty or beach

I miss fishing with mono....not really
