helping fellow anglers

one of the reasons i started this blog was to have my own freedom to voice opions and not worry about whom i ticked off or offended. i used to post on the hawaiibassfishing forum all the time, and still do although not in the detail anymore that i once did. i lurked for several years gleaning what little info it yielded about conditions and where the bite was. then i joined spurred by my sense of being to add or contribute what i had learned over the years. id put detailed accounts of what where and how i fished and what was working. tips id learned or just basic bass fishing sense. i got some positive feedback at times, at other times i think people thought i was some jerk thought he was hot shit....... course i did and still do at times hahahaha. but the forum has grown  quite a bit. a lot of regulars  there and on the lake now. not everyone as pleasant as you'd hope.  just in the very recent  few months the reports have been very vague, people saying caught 20 fish! killing em. or skunked today blah blah blah. no real information. nothing to help form a pattern or give a clue as to where to look. there are a couple of hot sticks, and rightly so they can flat out fish, that post. and the posts are almost just taunting. everyone is saying how tough it is and these guys are all ya slayed em today lots of big uns, or wow couldn't help but catch like 30 fish but all small. meanwhile  all the other posts are like was lucky to get one or 2. or nothing today better luck to the next guy. you'd think you could give a helping hand to fellow anglers with just a tid bit of whats working, especially if your such a bad ass on the water. I'm sure its the same everywhere i know guys out there i have met on the forum and we are friends now and chat every time we see each other out. and others that don't even wave as they go by. our little freshwater community is so small you'd think it would be more tight knit but it has a lot of growing pains these days i guess, aka spot burn, ramp rage, over crowding. i guess its the same all over, i  have to wonder if the kvds and skeet reeses are approachable. you hear good and bad stories about all the pros. one has to wonder......... but anyway. this blog and myself will try to keep the info coming, i can't promise it will always be valid or get you on the fish. but it will give a starting point for anyone reading it to get out there and form your own patterns!
