Its not worth problems with the site sponsors to have a registered members only section, the issues alot of us face is of a different nature. I know and fish with most of the regulars on the freshwater section, and its not just unregistered guests that are an issue, its no post count registered members too. Its been said here time and time again, people just want free handouts to go be professional fish catchers right off the bat. Nothing wrong with sharing techniques, strategy, gear, lures, etc. but to give away hard work that a "guide" or professional would charge you for is too much. The posting and info will continue to decline and eventually new faces and names will step in. I will continue to support this site and its members but will have to be very careful what I say and what pictures I post, and I wish it wasnt like that, Ive learned so much from the guys on here and I hope they have learned from me too, thats what its all about. And great job Gerry, so many of us log in here every chance we get!!

Glad you do Jimmy and I'd like to keep it that way... I appreciate the fact that you appreciate the delicate balancing act and tight rope I walk here. Always trying to balance the interest of our sponsors, memebers and visitors.
It's a dirty job but someone has to do it
