I know I am a new guy here as far as posts go, but like many, I've been lurking for a while.

This site is well run, respected within the fishing community, and a plethora of information. It has sponsors from marinas, 6 packs, party boats, tackle stores, the list goes on.

I get that having sponsors is necessary to the survival of the site. But I also don't get why there should be preferential treatment towards them, unless its an agreement between the sponsors and Gerry which does not tolerate naming a sponsor boat? I don't know...

There are always 2 sides of a story, and somewhere in between is the truth. We can all PM the OP and ask him for the name of the boat. I've fished with sponsor boats, and I've formed my opinions on whether I'd go with them again, despite what anyone else has to say about them.

So why can't this be handled in "manly" fashion? Call out the boat, captain, and mate, and let them tell their side of the story, and allow people to make their decisions from that?

When someone has a great trip and they post about it and give the name, that seems to be acceptable. But if someone had a bad trip with these guys? They not "allowed" to say something negative?
