All fishermen are liars... Except on Walleye.com

I don't understand the reasoning being giving false reports in the first place. Everyone would understand if you say "I'd rather not share my numbers". I'd much rather you say that than cost me $50 and one of my precious few days of fishing because you're too afraid to say "No.". It certainly isn't funny, and I have noticed that days where everyone is on the radio saying it's been a tough bite then seen reports of limits on here.

I'm happy to share anything I figure out on a given day on 79. Lord knows enough of you have helped me learn to use online boards and to set lines, tie harnesses etc. Granted, that ain't much because I'm not up much and I'm usually not the first to disk em in. That and the numbers we've been fishing for 15 years that always, always produce fish have been lost to the memory of a dying Lowrance��.

I'll vouch for skipper9. Took a trip with him last year. Was everything and more than I was told it would be. He answered every stupid question a dumb Lake Michigan salmon fisherman could ask. I went back a couple weeks later with a friend (both rookies at trolling) and caught fish with info skipper9 shared on the phone with me. He even put me in touch with a small boat fisherman that could give us info to better match what we were capable of. One of the nicest, most honest fisherman I've ever met.
Thanks Capt. Jim

Posting honest reports may just turn someone new to fishing on for life. I have gotten a few friends into fishing and it always makes you feel good to suggest a technique or spot to fish and get positive replies from them. What fun would it be if you were the only one on the forumncatching any fish? My bass buddies started the Masterkraft nickname and as time went on it was even fun to get outfished by the guys I shared my tricks with. The more people who get turned on to fishing the louder our community voice will be. Bogus info will deter people from spending time in the forum. Come on , SPRING! Fish on!

I have been reading this board every day so I can learn from all you guys. I'm a rookie that is really looking forward to going out this spring with my own boat. Thanks to all who share what you know so guys like me can come out and have some fun too.

[MasterKraft]

Don't get discouraged, old wheezer, this really is a great site and the majority of guys are here to help others. You will see this spring that some use this as a braggin page, but most of us will help out to the best of our ability. Keep comin back and welcome!

I am not an active member of any recognized church but my parents taught me the difference between right and wrong. And I am of the belief that for everything you do on this earth you will be judged in the hereafter. I
practiced veterinary medicine for 44 years without a lawsuit by being honest and truthful. Anything I post on this website can be taken as gospel. Oh, and I do take a lot of pictures. I just haven't figured out how to post them yet but my son-in-law has promised to show me how before the spring bite. As a closing note, after reading all the threads about the Perfect 10's, I bought a half dozen today with the hope that I have received good info. Time and the fish will tell. See you near "D" can in the spring. Honest threads to follow. O---H---

You are probably well on your way to being able to separate the straw from the ********. You will soon learn who is being truthful and who is posting just to create drama. There are more good Guys on this site than those who as the old saying goes are all hat and no cattle. Probably at a ratio of 99.9% to .01%.

Well said Wakina! Yes, this is a great site and an amazing Lake Erie fishing community. In fact it is for that reason that it is so discouraging when others come in and ruin the atmosphere.

I don't even go to OGF anymore and haven't logged in for almost 2 years there and other fishing forums because they are so full of the kind of stuff we are talking about.

Search high and low and it's hard to find a forum with the kind of people and the captains that are in Walleye.com.
