Welcome from west MI. I understand your concern, but first off I will attest to the fact that this site IS NOT LIKE ANY OTHER! I have been to sites just like you mention. Once you get to know folks and post some yourself, you will find that people at C.com are more than generous with info on how, where and when to find fish. I can't say much about the PA forum as I don't visit it much, but I do know lots of members from many states that will gladly give you info if you ask.
