What intell should a real "fishing report" include?

[ful-rac]

Oh sorry you feel like your being hazed....

Just go fishing, no need to "stir the pot"...or put out your trolling lines, to get a reaction. Im going fishing this weekend how about you...or are you going to wait until somebody catches and posts up a report how you like....?

Well said. I think brokeloser guy feels left out of the bite and wants a handout? Unlike you and me that have to work really hard to get even one fish,

[BrokeLoser]

Oh here comes the semantics...so predictable.
Plain and simple guys...it's not a fishing report if it doesn't contain certain details....sorry...carry on.

[jorluivil]

its just fishing.

[ful-rac]

Aww come'on brokeloser, this is the reaction that you wanted and expected....you got what you wanted right? Remember "stir the pot"?

[maui jim]

I always catch my fish at L.J., west end of the dam near the overflow on the negative tide, on the harvest moon, next to the 3rd big sunken rock, with live bait... But no one ever believes me ,so that's why I don't post pics and sizes, longs and lats, and such....... But I do like popcorn...

Not really man...I didn't start this thread for selfish reasons...you'll see, I won't stoop down and engage in an argument with you...I see no reason to puff up from behind the safety of my keyboard. I really hoped to spark a quality topic of conversation.

Plus, their really is no argument...I'm simply making a point that we have a "Fishing Reports" forum where rarely a true fishing report is posted...that's all.
We can all act stupid for the sake of debate but I'm pretty sure we all know what a fishing report should entail.

I would pay big money for those services.


Lets be honest...most of us are bragging when rewarded because of the time, cost and effort given/required, that's it.

I'm merely grateful when fresh posts are put up, that's all I need to get me off the couch. Jim

I can just see it:

darkhorsefishdope.com (This site will tell you where to fish and what is biting)
teamsewerspots.rr.com (this site will tell you where not to fish and what is not biting)
Drakeshotspotnow.com (this site will tell you what condition the females are and where they are at and what is biting)

[BrokeLoser]

Since some people feel like I was finger pointing with this thread aimed at them (you know who you are)...haha...I should add that I do read some quality reports here. (you know who you are)

Also, with regard to sharing hot spots. Have you noticed that some of the best fishermen...Iceman (Andy) and (Fiskadoro) Jim Day to name a couple generally have no problem sharing detailed information...ironic?

It was fun for awhile! brokeloser loves trolling...on bwe and he gets bit too...Can't wait for the report.

That is a good one frank! I'm laughing my ass off!!!!

[BrokeLoser]

And the "troll" lives on.
So predictable you guys are....someone will always cry troll at the end of a dead end thread for three possible reasons.
1. - An attempt to bring closure
2. - An easy opportunity to increase post count
3. - To revive said thread to keep it alive and well
Not sure what your motive was?

Remember, this started out simple and was made complex and trivial for the sake of argument by the real trolls. I knew full well that some would feel personally attacked...probably because they know they post boot-leg "reports".
The standard for what a real fishing report should include was set long before I started this thread, we have all read them for years. Pretend to act like you don't understand that all you want...that's what makes internet forums so fun and entertaining. Think about it, this would be no fun if you listened to reason? I mean, to me, the obvious reply to my original post should read something like this:
'Yeah, you're probably right. If you're gonna post a fish report in a fishing reports forum it should atleast follow the standard guidelines of what makes a report a report. Otherwise just post your cool guy photo in another forum.'
End of story...case closed....but that's way to boring and we have to make the site sponsors happy....Thanks for playing guys!

For you simpletons. (taken from dictionary.com)
re·port [ri-pawrt, -pohrt] Show IPA
noun
1. - an account or statement describing in detail an event, situation, or the like, usually as the result of observation, inquiry, etc.: a report on the peace conference; a medical report on the patient.

Kinda hard to argue that one huh?

(p.s. - this is quickly turning into the exact kind of drama I tell my teenage daughter to avoid on the internet...kinda ironic..haha)

[bellcon]

I thought this was settled along time ago?

Isn't criticizing "fish reports" for lack of information just as bad as critisizing them for too much information?



“We will not tolerate any member(s) trying to be policing the content on BWE when it comes to fishing reports.”

Nuff.

Post what you will.

The internet has been a game changer, and it keeps evolving. Just do some searches form back 10 years ago - the way reports used to be done is not the way it is being done today, but that's OK. There is always good info to pick up, stuff to learn, the most importantly - get inspired!

We will not allow anyone to be defining how it ought to be done.
If you want to define what the "fishing report" ought to look like, start your own forum.

If you're getting bothered by other members once you post a report, report that user to moderators, forward the PM's /emails. We'll promptly address.

This troll is being suspended.

Put the mac on and out instead and get out there.
