Its there right, and I don't hold it against anyone, but its dissapointing that people don't help others more, especially if others are sharing with them.
I'm going to keep this short.....
One year back a member here requested assistance in catching a musky. I offerend to help and also offered any other member to join along and free stay at my northern WI home. Also mentioned included, marked maps, lake suggetions, campfire discussions, even open boat seats from other fishing buds for the guys without a boat. Not one other person attended the trip.
Anybody here that had a desire to fish should had jumped at that chance. Told me not many here really are all that intereted in fishing. That's fine and probably to be expected, this is mainly a hunting site. A great hunting tatic site to learn from, why I joined and still a current member. I offered to share what I do best but no-one wanted it.
Posting pictures is not something I feel comfortable with. Will do it from time to time, but feel embarrased, and try to keep things modest.......some think of it as bragging.
Some may even think this post is bragging or being cocky.....I tried to word best I could minimizing the "smart but" factor.
I have done a lot of fishing just never really talk about it. I do remember fishing for small mouths in Lake Superior Northern Wisconsin about ten years ago. Huge Small Mouths, lots of 5 pounders. Strictly catch and release. Had a great time I think we took some pictures but no idea where they would be. Never really thought about it much. That would be in your neck of the woods. I have done a lot of bow fishing also. Never really talk about it either. My passion is bowhunting and fishing is a past time for me. I'm sure there are other fishermen on the Beast. I know Spysar fishes. Picture of a 29 lb carp I got bow fishing in 1991.
