You don't seem to understand how this works. You aren't the only one that can read what I post and you don't own the thread.  You don't get to decide who posts here and who doesn't. Luckily I'm here to help.

I’m a noobie on this forum too -- and it’s been amazing. I literally posted 10 times in 1 minute just so I could be able to search in the “Members Only” forum knowing all of you have a wealth of knowledge that I could hopefully learn from. I’ve read and read and read...and it’s been super helpful.

A quick story: I went out in HMB after researching a ton on this site. I spent hours reading reports and felt like I knew the area like the back of my hand. I paddled out with confidence only to be humbled by the mighty rockfish. I fished near the ‘green can’, the ‘red can’ and all other ‘cans’ I could possibly find on my navionics app….I might as well have been fishing in a ‘garbage can’ because I didn’t catch squat. Yes, I know, many of you are snickering because I didn’t even catch a RF or a ling (thanks to NCKF I even know some acronyms) but for someone brand new to pacific kayak fishing...well, it’s tough.

This past weekend I went out with ulisesv2013. You guys may badger him for asking simple questions, but I for one can tell you that research isn’t enough sometimes - someone offering to help makes a big difference. Without hesitation, ulisesv2013 took us to his ‘secret’ spot (one that took him many trips to find alone paddling) and we proceeded to limit over the course of a few hours. It was an amazing trip and his generosity was the difference.

I just want to see a picture of your hands.  Nobody want's to hold a dirty set of tootsie roll finger hands.

I have no idea how anybody paddles a kayak while holding hands

That's not really supposed to happen but it's totally rational to do it and I probably would to if I was a new poster.

Measuring dick size is pretty juvenile.  You were doing fine coming to your friend's defense until you got here.  You could have just asked to meet me after school so we could sort things out, but I guess you wanted to be original.

You made some good points but it was all lost with this last comment. 

I have been a part of talking crap and receiving it.  But usually with folks I have been out with and feel comfortable with.  You can usually tell the difference.  Either way it is sad to see people getting angry or upset with comments on a forum or posting that they think others shouldn't. 

It's just a bunch of fisherman posting on safety, equipment, fishing reports and misc things others may find interesting.  I am teaching the next generation (grandkids). How to fish and hope they enjoy it as much as me.  JAOTY encourages them and family is a big part of this community.  Please consider this when posting as I will stop referring people to this site unless there is a big disclaimer that tells them to just look past the BS and find the useful posts.

Usually Crash and I don't see things eye to eye but for the first time, I agree with everything he has said!   :smt005

Its becoming very clear that fate has brought you together with ulisesv for a good reason.  You guys can measure hand size with each other.    :smt044

Uh yeah ... don't do that.  Post stuffing is not allowed.

Tips and are easy to come by.  Hot spots and more than just tips are earned.  You don't just get them by asking a question.

What?  You've been here how long?  And you want to dictate what this forum is about?

This forum is NOT a PSA where any Tom, Dick, and Harry can just show up and get help.  It's has evolved over time into a community.  A community that is very open and willing to help, but you get out of it what you put into it.  Respect the community and it will respect you.

And you feel like I brought negativity by asking questions hahahaha this is exactly what I'm talking about there's just comments that are just not needed and completely out of place. But anyway from now on wanna talk over a forum do so I could careless. I'll only pay attention to the people whom actually pay attention and know how to read.

You should listen to your own advice and learn to ACTUALLY pay attention and read something on this forum!! Holy shit man, you sit there and act like the whole fucking world is crazy and you're not.  You ever wonder why people are responding the way they are?
