I don't normally post a response to posts like this for the fear of seeming like I want to start a peeing contest, which I don't. That said my feeling is a lot of guys stopped posting info because so many people just read this board to gleen info without ever giving back and never join up. I will say this, in a lot of cases if you pose a question it might not get answered on the board but a lot of times you will get a PM from someone who can help you out. I know that if I can help anyone I certainly try to. I don't get to fish a lot but I try to share any info I have cause I know it will all change before I get back again. Also I Crappie and bass fished for years before joining this board. Since being on this board I have learned so much more than i knew or could have ever learned on my own. Learned most of it just reading posts where people on here were sharing info on how to rig,to pull cranks, colors and that sort of thing. Also
this has been a really slow last 6 months with cold weather,rain,winds and such. Much more so than in the past couple of years. Plus we have had several back to back tournaments and guys who fish them aren't going to share a lot of info Pryor to that, it's the nature of the beast. Even though it would be helpful to most, the vast majority of us as human beings aren't prone to post our negative trips. ( Male Ego ) just give it a chance, become active on the board, go to camps go to tournement
weigh in's even if you don't fish them, say high when at the ramp or on the water when you see a C.com
sticker. Just my
