I have to get this off my chest. I personally do not like this new forum organization of having the hookups and fishing reports together in the same sub-forum. When I want to see a fishing report I want to see a fishing report, not people looking for fishing buddies. Wading through the endless hookups is tedious and kills my interest in using this forum. It seemed to me to make sense to have these subjects separated since someone interested in one may not be interested in the other. I remember when this website used to be one of my favorite fishing porn websites. The fishing reports where really good and I would check them every day. Now I can't stand the organization. For every fishing report there are four posts of "Hi me and blah blah blah will be and somewhere at this time." and to make matters worse people seldom differentiate a fishing report with a hookup post in the title. I for one think that fishing reports and hookups should be separated again. What are your guys thoughts on the matter? Oh yeah and one more thing, Pics or it didn't happen. It's 2015, there is no excuse to not have a picture.

Hookups normally turn into reports

If I had only posted 118 times in 7 years I'm not sure I'd be complaining about what others are doing. Lead by example.  :smt006

I liked it better when they were separated too, but it's not that big of a deal to me.

If people use effective titles and change them when the hookup changes to a report it does help keep the interest of those who are watching, IMO.

Best answer I have seen. I don't think I've been here that long. As far as pictures some guys just can't handle a camera. But In my time here I have never seen a post from you but will have to ask. Out of all your posts how many pictures were in your posts. My phone camera sucks and don't have the cash to buy one to lose to the salt. Sorry guys I didn't happen either  :smt044  :smt044

Here is the best answer to me. Its how I feel and it is well said. And it does not take a poke at anyone.

I don't care for the way it's set up either, and I too have lost interest in that particular sub forum. Like Eric said, if the titles were better maintained......
It's all about the "unread" button for me nowadays.
