Should we close the Reports section on these boards?

Thanks Jenn - space is not really the issue..

A photo forum is a good idea though....

Skip - when the reports are generalized it is OK...

Now, if we have a photo gallery system, is everyone going to promise to place nice and not harrass someone when they put up a picture ??

John I say you can the reports section, and if someone wants to post a report let them do it in the main board for shore fishing, or if it is a boat report in the boat section. The main board gets alot of googly goop anyway.

I would discourage having any detailed report attached to the photos. Maybe even dates should be avoided. Just good fish and fishing pics.

I think that would take out a majority of the controversy.

I always have my camera with me so I've gathered a LOT of good pics over the years. I don't usually post pics though in Striper Talk or Scuppers (or anywhere for that matter) since I just feel like it's bragging putting them there. But a photo gallery without reports and details I would definitely upload a lot of images to. Mostly of other people since most of the guys I fish with are spectaculary bad at taking photos.

Nix the reports and if someone wants to post a pic of a trophy fish go for it.
there is nothing that really gets under my skin than seeing the spots I fish.
posted on the internet. with all the report whores out there that just lurk
and wait to see where fish are being caught. there is just nothing good
that comes from it.

Oddly enough Dangles, yes sometimes I do what I please, I put an awful lot of work into this, and awful lot of my time which I don't really get back financially. I get it back in enjoyment and commraderie and chances to fish with people and places I otherwise would not - it can be very rewarding.

I'm getting tired of your deconstructive desite to stir the pot for grins and giggles at others expense. I have been asked previously by more than a couple long time members here why I continue to put up with your crap and why I keep you onboard. Well, I guess it is time I listened, goodbye...

Ouch.
Well thats to bad I found him entertaining.
Some times over the line.
I guess i should Pay attention.
I like the reports but i never make it down to the report section.
It's funny some of the people i see saying they don't like reports are the same ones I remember holding fish up in threads they started talkin bout how good the fishing was.
i guess thats different.

Tony - sometimes I found him entertaining too, but when he wasn't entertaining he was taking shots at people or the board or something negative and it was enough.
