Crappie camp

[arkansasbowhunter]

Guys I have had to take a break from the site for a time. There has been a lot of negativity on here in the past from several folks. You know who i am referring too. It takes a lot of effort to get a camp going and collect sponsors. In the past I have tried to get new sponsors for the site and camp by using there products and giving reviews. Some one always seems to have negative comments when I have done this. I am not sure what the motive has been or reasoning behind there actions. Statements have been made "why are you talking about this product when they aren't a sponsor". I never knew that the site is limited to sponsor only discussion.

How would you feel as a sponsor to pull up a web page and see what has been written in past by folks on here. Would you want to contribute "free items" to the same parties??

What happened to the good old days of posting pix without having to give away where you fished. Does nobody enjoy seeing and reading about the trip or experience any more? Threats have been made to myself in the past and I have heard of other members because we have not posted or told of fishing locations and for publishing fishing spots.

For many reasons stated above and more, I cannot fulfill the obligation to head up a camp in the spring. I hope that the negative attitude that has been portrayed by many changes and we can get back to just fishing. I too am guilty in the past for saying things that I Shouldn't have and apologized for them. The spring camp requires a lot of time to coordinate and organize. I hope every sponsor this spring received a thank you letter from me and I hope they will continue to support the camps. For now I am choosing to spend time with my family and fish when I can. The spring camps are a good time and I hope someone else will pave the way forward. God bless and tight lines.
