WOW!! And I thought most folks thought I was just taking up print space with my reports.

Seriously, I thank you so much for your kind words. I try to use my reports as a teaching moment just like I do my posts here. It is taking some getting used to when I have folks walk up to me in town or at the lake and say "Hey, you're MR. Dux!" I then correct them and say "No, I'm m-r-dux but thanks for hollering at me." Many have asked why I put so much information in my reports that others don't bother to do? I truly want everyone who fishes with me or reads my reports to learn something they can take back with them to help their fishing later on. That should be the goal of every fishing industry professional rather than just write the "Me and Joe went fishing." reports.

I get tons of requests for help from some who are truly trying new techniques I might have brought up. I also get tons of requests from folks who want to be spoon-fed info so they don't have to put any effort into going to the lake and catching fish. I usually take a pass on those folks since they will never learn to find and catch their own fish if they don't have to put any thought or effort into it.
