Disappointed

Don't worry about what the next person's doing. Integrity first and foremost and treat others the way you'd like to be treated. Nothing new and I know that's deep! :) Fishing is a sport. Ain't nothing to get all stressed over. Enjoy the outdoors! Last thing I'd do is allow someone on a forum that I don't even know get under my skin. Post or don't post. Be happy!

This group of guys has been doing it some of them for 20 years or more. They have no problem with posting pictures, it's naming the lake and for those of you who don't believe it affect the lake don't remember 5 years ago when we had low water, fish were congregated like they are now and we're just slautered. Then everyone was screaming we were raping the lake, close the ramps, create seasons.
Here is my take, catch your fish, have a good time, take pictures on your tail gate, tell how you caught them if you want. Then let board members Pm you if they want details. Share what ever info you are comfortable sharing. End result is you did good, you shared the experience, we got to share in that experience. But it wasn't shared with the whole world who don't belong to CDC, have no intention of joining or participating in CDC just glean all the info you share to your detriment down the road.

It would help if the state forums were just open to CDC members only. It seems to me that if someone needs to dig this deep for a fishing report they can at least pay to play.

only been here since december but havn't seen much negativity or challenging of results and if someone is a knucklehead, too bad for them. could care less myself but then I am known to enjoy a spirited discussion. This is crappie fishing and anyone lurking here for "secret info" is idiotic, they can join for nada and be part of a wonderful thing. I have been fortunate in last couple of years and several outstanding fishermen have laid a lot of knowledge on me, plus some terrific youtube video's and it has resulted in really increasing my enjoyment and putting fish in the freezer to share with many. why would anyone make stuff up or post same pics? but then lots of knuckleheads in world but usually you can smell them out quick enough.

Looks like Slab and others are making sure the negative nellies are kept in check here and everyone should feel free to share experiences. It's all good and this isn't a competition, it's sportsmanship and fun. I love it here, have met some good people and looking forward to meeting so many more. This is a great sport and can be a wonderful shared experience.

Everyone had their say. I think all we are doing now is...:deadhorse
