Back Beach, don't listen to those jokers - - they love to ruin threads.
Being a serious poster, allow me to answer your question,,,, VERY, VERY LITTLE, if at all...do I use the "Net" as a tool for helping me catch fish.
If you've fished for 31 years, and most of your success was before the "Net"....????....you should probably spend less time
here. Less time here means more time on the water,

As far as
fishing things related, I use the "Net" as a networking resource in which I've met many other people, some of who think a
little like me when it comes to fishing,,, it allows me to keep in
touch with them somewhat,,, GoogleEarth, helps...but as a creature of habit and stubborness, I like the spots I fish - so I can't chalk up a GREAT day on the water due to GoogleEarth. I'll tell ya what has happened though, as much I appreciate the friendships I've made with the "Net", it's also confirmed what I always felt, there are SO MANY BULLS-HIT ARTISTS here, who can't even bulls-hit good enough to even come close to believing. Sad thing is, I can count who I believe on this site without using my toes....

,,,, If you want to become a better fisherman, spend more time on the water doing what's worked for you in the past. Fish don't change as much as you think, it's we that change - If you're new to the sport, and have to rely on the "Net" as your lead resource, I PITY you. Like EVERYTHING else in life, EXPERIENCE IS THE GREATEST TEACHER AND BEST WAY TO LEARN. ... I was fortunate to also fish many years before the "Net" ruined me, and am now trapped as a prisoner of my own conviction. Growing up very close to the water along with a father who loved to fish, (targeting EVERYTHING that swam)...I learned a LOT back then. That coupled with an imagination to try what he wouldn't has also elevated my experiences. OOOOOOOOPS, a little
