Thread: 2013 FJ Series Rules

I haven't said much on the fj stuff and maybe I shouldn't since as of right now I have no intention of fishing them. But, if people (the majority that fish) like using the limit of poles set by the state for the individual lakes being fished then doesn't that constitute liking to fish also. To say that people are haters because they disagree with a rule and would like a say is assanine and wrong. That is part of the problem arising with the fj's.

I cant speak to the answer about pole limits, however, I've said this before. There are a few on here who will run down anything to do with the FJ's. Any time anything is posted about them, these few ALWAYS make negative comments about them!!!! If anything hurts the FJ's, it is these negative people spouting their negative comments!!!! I understand that you may not like the FJ's, the committee members, the rules, the lakes, the hair styles or anything else. THATS FINE!!! But please understand that all you are doing (maybe intentionally, maybe not) is hurting those who do like the fellowship and friendly competition. If that is your intention, maybe you should take a look at yourself!!! If you disagree with the FJ's, please excise your right not to participate!!! If you choose to participate, you will be welcome every time!!! HOWEVER, if you dont want to participate, please do not try to ruin a good thing for everyone else!!!!
Speck Out!!!

should be able to use as many as the law alows

Slimeyslab, go back and read the conduct and posting rules you agreed to when you signed up. Posting of PMs is strictly against the rules.

Well said, Speck.

I will add that all the work that goes into these tournaments is daunting!!! It is a thankless job!!! I think Major, Yikess, Big Blue, Satdoc, Rees Guide and Spiderwoman have done an excellent job!!! Your all ROCK!!!

Not that I feel the need to explain myself, but. Me and my neighbors up on the tn river run a similar little fruit jar series as you guys down there. I am well aware of the work involved and had originally asked the question about the pole limit in case my club was ever faced with the question. I had no idea it would make me a "hater" or someone who was trying to destroy the board. The fact that I called the fruit jar series"little" really seamed to upset a certain person. Not sure why, I fish in a little club and it doesn't bother me to say it.

X1000000000!!!! I'll see y'all at as many as I can!!!! I just wanted to know the reason the rule was changed, but I don't care if we can only use 2 poles per person. I think it's a great bunch of people that show up at the majority of the FJ's, and I will continue to support the fishing, and fun the FJ's provide, not to mention the opportunity to learn new waters, which is a huge advantage if you ever decide to go to the next level of competition. .
