Quiet Website

[RIPNLIP]

Doc, I have too agree with you. I talk on the Western Basin website occasionally & more than the Central site (even though I fish both places. Unfortunately I didn't make it to the Central Basin last year). It does seem like the participants on the Western Basin site are more than willing to share information & are more talkative. Even when the walleye, perch, smallies & steelhead are being caught in the Central Basin there's not much conversation on this site. It all seems very secretive. The Charter Captains on the Western Basin site are also very helpful & willing to divulge tips & tactics. The difference between the 2 sites is very different.

When I fish the Central Basin I've met numerous fishermen/women at the docks & hotels we stay at & they can also tight lipped when it comes to tips or locations. If I'm catching fish & I meet someone who isn't I don't mind helping someone out. It's a huge lake & there are plenty of fish to go around. We all want to catch fish. That's why we spend all this money & time. It's a shame.

With all the new technology it seems like it's gotten worse. No one talks on the radio anymore. "Call me on my cell. I have information for you". This is the norm anymore. We're not always fishing in tournaments. Lord forbid someone gives out a bit of information to the masses.

Be safe & good luck to all!!

Great post ripnlip I agree, I guess greed has alot to do with it, no matter where I've been fishing I have always tried to pass on information. Have even given away quite a few lures over the years

Agreed. Info doesn't consistently flow onto this site for the Central Basin. It's funny, because I shared info and see a lot of views, but no replies.... I've tried over the years and am still always willing to help where I can, when there is dialogue.
