I like nightfighters idea. members only report forum with length of membership requirement. You might even add a minimum post requirement too. Something significant , not just 10 posts and 1 day.

Rather than reports how about just pictures of fish caught by members during the week or the month or something like that?

Seeing pictures of other guys with large makes me want to get out there more.

I like that Idea....I like to live vicariously through everyone else...especially when I'm not catching

Maybe right, but if I see a new post, I'm always looking.....out of interest for trends, not to get in the truck and burn three dollar a gallon fuel to jump in your spot! While we don't market our spots up here, they're known if accessible.

Look at length of time for some members who rarely post if at all...all they do is read. Number of posts would have to be a factor for access.

But I still think PMs and calls work for anyone who really wants to share with friends.

Good health and family

It's good to read about when people are having success. Especially since if I'm online, I'm not fishing.

Access only for participating members makes sense. How about number of posts made between December and March be made a factor.

Hold on now. I might have a problem with this point of view. If someone has been a longtime member but hasn't posted much if at all, does that make him a lesser member in another club? Forgive me, but I will use Smokey as an example. He was one of the first members I met here, though Saltheart, and though he might not post much, I would have a problem 'excluding' him for reading but not posting. Sorry Skitterpop, but I think one of the great things about this site is the lack of exclusivity. Maybe we move the reports section onto the Ledge!

Ok ...lets go I`m only agreeing with previous posts to this matter... members who contribute by posting on a regular basis are contributing.

I voted close it down

Good health and family
