Is anybody.......

[Dee-Vo]

I'm waiting for the following:

1.  Troutfanatic to stop acting like a troutfaggot, and fish the Little River in Montgomery Cnty upstream of Thickety Rd to Lake Eury.  Yes there are smallmouth, Roanokes, and largemouth in thar.

I prefer being troutfaggot; is your butthole currently empty?

Brother, you only scratch the surface of where and what I fish for, and yes I have fished the Uwharrie area. Roll that sweet ass of yours down here and we shall pillage the Uwharrie. I am leaving Friday on a multi-state, multi-species misadventure, and a dead show or two.

But, I'll add to Yella's discussion...

Around 2012, this forum began to slip. My original account was launched in 2008. I'd go off to the sandbox for a year and never logged in. when I got home, I noticed more OG members have departed and new ones arrived. The dynamics changed with each tour.

When I got home from my 2012 tour, I hardly knew any of the active posters. Most of the guys that welcomed me aboard in 08 and those that I fished with were gone, guys like Leedawg, cmiller51H. Tranny, Al and TM were about the only ones left that I knew. I later met steelrain and dylar.

It started becoming factional around that time. Too much political shit, trolling, and deliberate efforts to antagonize people. I indulged too. It culminated when steelrain, dylar and I got booted, a half dozen others quit, including tranny. I still fish with tranny a few times a year and make plans to fish with dylar. I don't think steelrain fishes anymore and I haven't seen him since last summer.


I made my peace with Keith a long time ago. Tranny has too. Dylar has asked to come back, and said he will do similar to me, avoiding political bullshit and troll-countertroll. That decision is on Keith. I suspect tranny would come back if dylar did. I'd further suggest that several others would follow.

content brings people in. Not enough TRs being posted, and posting one is a pain in the ass. Other social media platforms are one click and done.

Some have said, they won't post TRs because they are followed with PMs from people who want to hotspot or comments from others on where they think they fished.

Noobs are few and far between because too much Drakish bullshit occurs with noobs. I am guilty of this too.

I'd ultimately say, if you want it better, you have to decide what you can do to make it better.

Tranny & Ralyd - I hope they come back.

One thing I'm trying to do by starting a discussion. I'm also guilty of not posting many TRs and posting political bullshit, I'll try to do better.

I like this place. It's one of a kind. I like the geographic and species and background diversity of the fishers. I like the bias toward wild fish fishing instead of DH and stocker water, even though it doesn't piss me off at all for people to post TRs of that, either. I am primarily a blueliner, but I'm not above yanking a mess of doughbellies out of a pasture ditch myself, either. I like the mostly non-censored format. I like the banter.

What I don't like: The Cliquishness and hostility or cold shoulder to those outside of the clique. The mostly overwhelmingly liberal political commentary. The lack of participation lately. There are some good folks here, along with a couple assholes. I even like the assholes for the most part, because I can be one myself. I'd wet a line with anybody here.

Im boycotting until Spork buys a motherfucking raft.

[troutfanatic]

I shall join you in this boycott if we mandate that spork buy a 3-man raft.

I'm to lazy to even properly reply to this. TRs are a pain in the ass since crapatalk changed the way it uploads photos and uploading to a photo site takes more time than i want to deal with.

I have fished almost every weekend since January. Some times its not worth posting a report. That's why I like fishing with Keith, he does the TR for me.

When creating a tR - I use the wifi on my TG-4 to transfer pics from my camera to my phone. Then I upload them to Photobucket. Takes only a minute or two. Ad free Photobucket is great to me.

Still look on here and a few other boards regularly.
And enjoy the pictures, stories and info shared.
Never been a prolific poster anywhere.
Agree that, other media has trimmed this type of forum.
Have always been more of a listening and seeing,
than a talking or typing person.
Even less with the whiny, liberal, snowflake, socialist, leanings
of about half the people in the country now.
The last few years fishing wise for me, has gone from
fair to middlin'  to dismal.  Worst in @ 50 years.
So, not many TR's from me, lately, (other than PFF v 35), dammit.
Fished, camped, broke bread with a few from here and other places...

Hell, I'd fish at least once with any of y'all that I ain't fished with.

Ain't Life Grand!!!

I enjoy discussing creeks and what's in them. I enjoy seeing guys try to access places few ever go into. That's what I love doing. General secrecy is respected, however I hardly ever fish a place more than once, sometimes twice. I don't try to be too much of a dick when talking creeks unless it's someone who never puts any effort forth toward finding their own stuff. I'm very open when discussing creeks with likeminded folks. I've done so quite regularly. I do not share info on areas other dudes have busted their ass to fish.

[Grannyknot]

AK Aaron and the dude need to post more.
"The Smiteage of the dude" was the greatest thread this forum ever produced.

This place is like the neighborhood bar that I never had, minus the envisioned sleazy female skanks that would take you to the parking lot for a poke and/or a quick hummer.  Everyone is at least slightly inebriated and full of bullshit.  Discussion on most any topic can ensue and sometimes pissing contests erupt.  Patrons come and go and sometimes patrons get together away from the bar scene.

My son and I met a couple of these patrons last Friday outside this neighborhood bar at an eatery/pub in Mt. Airy; their names were Erik and Grayson.  My son and I ate bloody red meat; they had salads on bread.  My son and I drank half dozen beers; they had one.  They were both pussies and the wrong gender of pussies, but they were nice guys.

Sorry guys, that is how I see it.
