Lee, not trying to be rude but the reason for a starting a "fishing report forum" is so fisherman like yourself will be encouraged to join the site or participate more which would help everyone out. You have been a member for over a year and only have 16 posts. You admitted frequently visiting the site to look at reports, yet you do not post your own reports or give advice. Other state boards have this type of forum and it is a great tool. If you do not want to participate in the forum then you could still post a report on the main page. The benefit is that it gives members who do not wish to share their reports with the general public a place to post to help out the members who are their friends.
