Of course. As a new guy on this particular board, I should know better. I'm obviously a clueless googan. Thanks for putting me in my 'place' and reminding me why I've avoided this board. Carry on.

Well, just because S-B doesn't have a 42 page list of rules that might disqualify the pope, and some of us enjoy eating the fruits of our angling, doesn't mean you should avoid the board.

regardless, nice fish!

Ahh yes, another clash or personalities on the evil Internet...

Its just the Internet guys - not a substitute for just going out and fishing

.

Fish are moving - they move. They are in one place and then the other. People score, people don't. One thing is for certain, if the line ain't wet nothing is getting caught

Group Hug.

I think it's pretty apparent JakeF knows what he's doing.

i didnt realize post counts are an indicator of how good a fisherman one is.

By this criteria.....I am the second best fisherman on here!!!

I was just looking for the insight of the many who hang out here as to their opinion of how the migration will go off this season! Last season it was over in like a week!!!

Thanks for the responses guys!

I've figured out, after 10 years at this, that there is no upside to talking about what you're catching on the internet.

Talk to me about general stuff, equipment, tactics, but don't look for catch reports.

There is nothing wrong with talking about fish caught. There is a problem with jealous people. That's the bottom line. What should be fun gets ruined from someone who owns the ocean. It shouldn't be this way.

The problem happens on opinion. Some people like to catch small fish and target that but those with the opinion of only large fish count might frown on that. Is the guy catching the small fish somehow wrong? I don't think so, some people do.

There are others that feel that every fish needs to be released. Again, an opinion, but one people have and sometimes will voice that. Me, I release 99 point something of what I catch, do I think people that keep fish are evil? No. Do some think I should release everything? Yup.

And it isn't only jealousy - though that does happen sometimes. Some people are just having a bad day or grumpy. And some things just don't translate on the Interblab. So the problem usually comes in on opinion and people's feelings on a particular subject and once people get over the fact that not everyone needs to agree with them it gets so much easier. What instead happens is that people of differencing opinion clash like the mighty warriors of the keyboard. And sometimes people simply don't explain themselves well or properly or simply have a bad day.

I applaud Jake for going out and finding fish. He did the other night what I tried and couldn't do. Land a worthy fish. Kuddos. I will simultaneously applaud him and dope slap myself for not going large.

But at the same time me, you, him, or nobody else for that matter "owns" the only valid perspective or opinion on what's right, wrong, or indifferent.

And then there is that typing under the influence thing too

Boat -v- Shore
Plugs -v- Bait
Fly -v- Everyone else

Ok, that was just my opinion...

I have learned one thing and thats that people read their own agendas into every thread instead of really reading the initial thread and responding accordingly. This thread was not started as a way of finding catch reports, it was started to find an overall point of view in regards to when the fish might really start moving and to start some good hearted conversation......which brings me to the second thing I have learned......its tough to find any good hearted conversation about fishing on the interbet due to the influx of cyber fishing heros who think way too much of themselves. Its fishing kids.....its just that plain and that simple.....its fishing.
