lack of reports
 

Hey guys it's my first time postingon this what's up website I want to thank everybody for the real reports good or bad I'm writing today because it's yours doesn't bother me but it kind of does that when fishing is good you have the same Charter boats always saying limited trip great day but since the last two storms they haven't gave one report I find it hard to believe that they haven't gone fishing at 3 weeks people should report good or bad all the time as fishermen we know if you go on a charter there are bad days it is okay to say if fishing sucks it helps other people out I'm curious that what you guys have to say

Check whatever boat your looking for Facebook page to give you an idea they usually post pictures up on their pages that will give you an idea of their reports

Fluking has been bad

Re: lack of reports
 

And yet people are asking for a longer season on the tail end I’d rather have a longer season in the beginning of the year more fish around. Just my opinion.

Re: lack of reports
 

Yeah its tough in this state. We didnt have fluke for May and June Ocean side from PP north so basically the early season lost 6 weeks. Yesterday we caught 21 Keepers out of MI so personally I like having the longer season on the tail end.

Re: lack of reports
 

Your first post and you're already calling people out for not reporting the bad days.... Really???

I take offense to that and beg to differ..... While there might be some that post occasionally, there are plenty of charter and party boat sponsors that post on this site practically every day if they sail and post the good and bad. Look over the posts and you'll see. If you don't see their reports, chances are they didn't sail and we have had a recent spell of crappy conditions.

If you're looking for help and reports there's plenty of it here but I'd suggest you earn your credibility first by contributing to this community rather then make general accusations on your first post.

Mako171- 1. Try some punctuation on your second post.
2. Yesterday's keepers, on the Parker Pete Express.

Re: lack of reports
 

Mako, I agree with Gerry. I haven't been out that much this year but I post when I fish. Not seeing reports isn't always a bad thing. When fishing is good a lot of Captains are busy running turn arounds/setting up for the next trip. They can't always post right away. You might want to monitor Facebook.

Re: lack of reports
 

Okay you guys that don't agree about on here i dont want to start trouble but that's the last thing I want to do when you come home from fishing and your friends ask you how'd you make out and it sucks do you tell him it sucks or you don't even answer them or you don't even call them for a week or two until the next good trip it's kind of sad that people that don't have boats read these reports and get suckered into coming down I own a boat for 21 yrs now if seen how fishing has dropped drastically

Re: lack of reports
 

No such thing as getting "suckered" into fishing. Everyday is different you go when you can. Not always about catching. ALL the sponsor boats on here have a business to run which is not easy. Imagine trying to please customers everyday when you have weather, wind against tide, water temp and water clarity issues. I honestly dont know how they put that smiley face on everyday.
After your bust your ass the day before and the very next day you have a whole new group of anglers expecting this to be their day. I give them ALL credit regardless of their reports.

Re: lack of reports
 

Gerry, you took the words right out of my mouth!!! Guess he doesn't read my posts and obviously owns his own rig. This is a DO-IT yourself hobby my friend, invest in a Log Book, a plotter, spend some time out there getting it done, never depend on a Report cause they change day to day!! By chance if you don't have a boat......read into all the reports, you'll figure it out sooner of later.

Re: lack of reports
 

You obviously don’t fish much, if you did you’d know that fishing can be great today and be absolutely horrible tomorrow or even later in the same day. It’s all about conditions where and when you plan to fish…. Bottom line is although it’s nice to know if anyone caught anything recently it’s won’t be relevant on the day you decide to go since conditions change. If you want to choose your days to give you the best odds, learn how to look at marine forecasts and wind directions and tide charts. That’s what most do. That or trust the captain who is taking you out on a particular day who knows how to read conditions, wants to do everything possible on that day to try and catch you fish since he wants you to come back.

Re: lack of reports
 

He DEF missed #1 on your list Capt! Lol...

holy christ that's one illegible post. trying to decipher it dropped my IQ 10 points, none of which can I afford to lose!

Re: lack of reports
 

As the principal in Billy Madison once said,

"Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul." lol

Re: lack of reports
 

This is definitely one for the books. Sheeesh! Gerry put this one in the “BEST OF” category. We can look back on this and ask ourselves WTF this guy is talking about and just keep laughing!!! LOL! Wowwwww! :D

Re: lack of reports

Re: lack of reports
 

The wording and "lack of" punctuation speaks for itself. I can't improve on any of the replies. It sounds like this guy wants to skip the fishing part (putting the time in) and fall right into catching, you'd be better off at a fish market. I would love to hear Joey Murrays reply to this guy.

Re: lack of reports
 

Hard to read, is the period button broken? This sight is full of great information, good and bad reports. How about giving it a chance before coming out guns a blazing!!

Re: lack of reports
 

Um it’s been rough as hell and you can’t expect some guys to drive 2 + hrs one way to only cancel at the dock. Pretty simple. Trust the meteorologist’s.

Codchaly, check your pm.

Re: lack of reports
 

I used to make head lines not read them! It is not the obligation of for hire boats to tell or show you where the fish are. I use to take pride in putting together a catch with no fleet in sight.
