No one on this board fishes much in maine anyways so it's pointless for me.

Even if it was done with a secret password given to only select members, who's gonna give up their secrets to others?
"Hey guys, I got 2 50's last night right after the turn of the tide at Shad point with an E wind on a 14" eel hooked thru the tail on a Gami 7/0 circle. Acton will last at least another 2 days."
I don't think so.

What is the best balance on reports? Don't know but that is why I put this poll up. I think some reports can and should be shared but among groups, not the world - not a knock on anyone or the public at large but passed on the WOM to the public at small....

Yeah, maybe your right John. I guess stuff like "I got a few 20# ers last night on swimmers after dark, so get out there and catch.", would be good. Maybe pix to?

I say you have to pick who gets access and if its abused, you take access away.

As far as having a private reports forum that's not really a good idea either.That could cause animosity between people as it did once before
with a certain other private forum.

Its either keep a public Reports forum or scrap it altogether.

Easier said than done - how do you determine when someone has crossed the line? Who plays Report God? One thing I have certainly learned here is that there is no hard defined line and most things are a judgement call but that would get REAL tiring to judge daily...
