I post when I fish good or bad. The worst thing is that I haven't fished since the last week of October. Work and weather. It's just not right! I'm getting the itch though and will be out there before long.

I love reading posts though. It helps me stay sharp during lags in my fishing time, like I am in now.

I post whenever I get to go. Good or Bad. Just like my last post 2-2-8 Aucilla. Good day of fishing bad day of catching.
And JSuber can not deter me from posting. At least I know where all my rods are.

Don't really want to call out any members, least of all the slaving chief admin guy,
but maybe some expert fisherman ought to show a litte charity and take the fella
out on a fishing trip so he can post a report.
Actually listening to what other people say is worth the effort.

Aint been fishing since August thanks to work. Thankfully, this forum keeps me somewhat sane, though others would tend to disagree. When I do fish again,as allways, I will post the good or bad and let you decide what is truth or lies :-D

I wish I had time to go and post a report. Every trip I've been on for the past 6 years is on this board, save maybe 3-4.

Either my kids or wife have had something going on every weekend, or the weather has been crappy. My dive gear is in the shop, so that's out as well. Can't go during the week because apparently I've made myself indispensable at work. I'll get to go one day and I'll post a report.

Feeling the pain. I didn't really think it had been months since you'd fished.
Maybe you ought to try the kayak thing.
Quicker, easier, cheaper, more often, better, and you don't have to put up with anybody else on your boat.
Better is based on specific evidence posted in the Inshore Fishing Reports on the BBF Forum.

Don't get me wrong, its not the lack of opportunities to go, because I have had plenty of offers. It's the fact that I can never commit to anything. It's only going to get worse as my son starts baseball in March.

Duck season just ended. Through out duck season, my fishing boats lay safely on their trailers. I can report that boats laying safely on their trailers do not catch any fish. Accordingly, someone on here can learn that you must put your boat in the water before you and your boat can catch any fish. So far this month, I have had other things that demanded my attention. I am taking my daughter to the Daddy Daughter dance this Friday night. I might find a way to load up the air boat and go look for reds and/or mullet this Saturday. Should I get to go, I will report further. If no report by Monday, please refer to the report regarding boats laying safely on their trailers. :-D

:-D I usually don't fish from late October till the 1st of March. I'm hunting. ........But march is almost here. I feel your pain about posts like jsuber said. I don't have a digital camera and can't post pics with each post. Seem's like the ones with pics get all the feedback. However I always share what, where, when, and with what. That I have caught fish. I just wish everone did. :-D

Excuses...Excuses. :-D

Good question Jeff.
All I can say is, guilty as charged, here. I just checked my post history, and it's been a while since I posted a report (I'm ashame to say how long).
As a matter of fact, my over all posting dropped off early last summer, due to other interests and other obligations. That and, (no offense to anyone), I just kinda lost interest in forums in general.
I fished 5 or 6 times (offshore) last summer and my old boat has been setting since Sept. I'm mostly a reader of late and only fished a couple of times since early Sept. Both times, I was the guest of Pren Crum, the proprietor of Hometown BP. http://hometownbp.com/index.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; (see his latest report and bookmark his site.)
We all know, it's the people who makes a forum successful, that and a good administrator/manger. The members (participates) here are a diversified and interesting (sometimes funny) bunch. Tom strives to make BBF the best, and Jim and he manages to keep us 'Yahoos' somewhat in line. :-D We should thank them every day for their work. I don't know, but I would guess, it ain't easy.
In the meantime, you have shamed us by getting in our faces. 'Guess I will be posting a report the next time I go out.
Thanks for the prod. We needed it. :D

Wished I had something fishing related to post. My son is heading home from college for spring break (SB) first week of March and my daughter starts her SB last week of March. Both say they want to spend a day or two on the water. So, hopefully soon. :thumbup:
