There is plenty of fish for everybody. Not running into other boats when you are trolling is the problem. LOL.

Dude....the members AINT the problem. It's ALL those lurkers just waiting to find out where theyre biting. There's enough "visitors" reading these boards to cover up your fishing spot when you say where it is....to the point that you cant even go back to fish it. That's why everybody is getting hush-mouthed. Me and my buds don't ever report our trips on our lakes anymore either and that's the reason why.Quote:

Well, I don't mind giving specifics,maybe it will help the next guy have a little fun. If anybody thinks that they have secret unfished spots on public lakes then you are kidding yourself.
What I don't understand is why people don't use the moderated board for detailed reports. :dono That board hasn't had a post in almost a year.
Why not move detailed reports into that section of the board?

Do y'all remember two years ago we had someone posting from jail?
Use the moderated board for detailed reports.
I second what he said:fishQuote:

Was he catching any?Quote:

So it is not a moderator's choice, it is the poster's choice.
I won't post specific locations ON a lake where I caught fish, but I don't mind sharing water conditions, jig colors, etc. to help folks out. Its up to them to do a little leg work and find the fish.
We can disagree on the moderator's job, but I just don't understand why the Georgia guys voted for a "member's only detailed report board", and nobody uses it. :donoQuote:

I know what you mean Dutch. The information you give is very useful and gives a leg up. Having the color and the water conditions is a great start to use in the area that the reader fishes. Catching crappie is just reading the weather and the water and you start where the weather and water temp tell you. Then find what color is best for that day and sometimes the type of jig matters big time. Sometimes things are weird and you have to go with your gut. Of course this is just from my experience and isn't worth much. Good luck fishing everybody.
Mostly why nobody has posted in there FOR LESS THAN A YEAR for the record Judge Dredd, is because a lot of the best fisherman are communicating information a different way. Dutch, Hotwater, Danbo ChuckyBoy, and the other experienced fisherman (please forgive me I can't remember all the good fisherman on here right now, LOL) that post here are still nice enough to post great reports and give information. When the Moderated Forum was voted on it was voted in by a large margin. A lot of those guys that voted are gone now.Quote:

If I am not catching fish in an hour or 2 I am moving or changing depth. Hybrids come in I move. Friday before last at Oconee caught fish. went 4 days later same place and struggled. I have learned 2 crucial things over the years, water temp and the running depth with correct weight are everything. Full moon helps too! 2 full moons in March as was January. I believe a lot of fish have spawned and pulled back. Adjust accordingly each trip. Second full moon should have an impact. Personal opinion, I HATE WIND!
