This is a bummer topic to read, and believe me, I understand what everyone is saying about wanting to see some reports and at the same time not wanting the lakes, rivers, and creeks to get trashed.

A lot of you guys and gals have been on here for a long time and watched things change over time. In 1996 you could post a map to your favorite spot and no one would show up. In 2004, things are different. There's a lot more people on the internet. For a while the internet was kind of the last frontier of getting actual information on fishing stuff. Now a lot of that is even drying up.

Just go to allcoast and read the guys talking about not posting the whiteseabass bites. Go to ncbf and notice than very few if any of the 'serious' guys ever post a report or give detailed info. Maybe you can go to sdfish and read some Barrett reports, or fishinghotpage and read some Irvine reports, but for the most part the places that are not already known and completely popular are not being reported on anywhere online any more.

So that's a pretty gloomy run down! All I can tell you in regards to the site is that it's not going away and I will continue to do what I can to make it an interesting place to come and visit. I'm always busier than I wish I was, and I fish too much to do the work on the site I'd like to always do :) but we'll just keep plugging away with things like the photo galleries, video, reviews and main page updates.

On the subject of trash, my next main page update is going to be about trash and garbage at the lakes. Garbage at the lakes is one of my number one most hated things!!!!!! Maybe somehow we can make a small difference. Look for an update this week or next.
