in my opinion fishing reports are dead because why would anyone give away all the information they worked hard to attain for free and then have spots flooded with boats and anglers? The best way to get a good fishing report is to go fishing! usually by the time you find out the bite is hot from a printed report, it is over or past. I used to provide reports for various websites and stopped years ago due to nothing being gained, only lost and handing lazy fisherman information I had worked hard and spent many hours to obtain. People that want the hot tips, tactics and spots for free and without having to put any effort into finding fish!
just as a example I went bassing at Kentucky lake last weekend when the temps dropped 40 degrees , lows were below freezing, 15 mph winds & it was spitting snow , didn't see another boat all weekend and all reports said to stay at home fish weren't biting....well I went fishing and destroyed the largemouth and smallmouth had a 7.2 and 3 over 5 lbs. sometimes you just go fish!!!
