Not everybody has, nor do they want a Face Book account! Walleye dot com is not face book, It is Walleye Dot Com. whose reports forums were designed to give fishing reports, recently there were some major changes/enhancments made to Walleye Dot Com that pertains to posting pictures, making it easier to do so.
Fishing Pictures belong in/on the Site and thread that gives the report of the capture and methods used to fill those coolers not on some gossip column like Face Book! Face Book is nothing more than a free Gossip Sheet type of site. It ranks right up there with the National Inquirer in its own way and has people thinking everything they read on Face Book is the truth. I want to be clear that there is nothing wrong with posting pics on face book but pics should be posted where the reports are given also.
Bottom line is that I and nobody else should have to belong to another site (in this case Face Book) to view pictures of a report(s) on how and where those coolers full of walleyes was caught that were posted on this site(Walleye Dot Com) especially if the person posting the report is a licenced Charter Boat Captain who charges people to go fishing. Walleye Dot Com is the fishing site and Face Book is the Gossip site.
Yes there is some bad blood here on Walleye Dot Com right now. I do not know nor have I met either one of these people (Captain Jim or Wayne/Mike). I do know this and it is not a pleasent thought, Wayne and Mike have had bad publicity not only on this site but on at least 2 other sites by affected people who are far removed from this site, ice fishing was the topic on the other sites, but bad publicity just the same. Some of the publicity was worse than bad and was alluded to by some of their paying customers.
On the other hand I have been a member here since 2009 and have never read nor have I heard of any complaints about Captain Jims(Skipper 9) charter operation, that does not mean that they do not exist it just means that I have not read any nor have I heard any by word of mouth.
Channel Grove Marina is one of the premiere marinas on Lake Erie's western end for quality highly respected Charter Captains. It used to be that if someone would ask me who they should book a trip with for the Islands area east to Vermillion I would suggest they book with any of the captains moored at Channel Grove. With all do respect I can no longer do that, I will let you and all of the others sort it out why I can not do that any more.
Yes Karma is a *****! Just maybe the events have went full circle and Karma is extracting its revenge.
