Dang only 3 local fishing reports for the entire month of May. Used to be dozens. Sad

… old media. Folks are sharing their information on Facebook pages these days.

FB is king of the masses. Also our region has took a hit even more in that regard because of a FB group that has taken off in the last year. The guy who runs it goes fishing every week, and sometimes every day, and he could be on TV and revive the old timey variety TV show he’s so hilarious.

Who might that be?

Joseph Nardo is his name. I thought sure it was Gary and even asked and he said no.

I’m in my thirties and I don’t mess with FB, find it annoying to get reminders about trash pick ups and internet outages from people I don’t care about or like.

So if that makes me a “geezer” I’m for it! lol

Funny thing I post here but not in the Facebook group

Facebook is too dangerous for me.

This site is just fine.

If people understood all of the dangers of Facebook they would quickly return to forums

I tend to “pick fights” and call out “ignorance” so I stay away. I enjoy the forum here and feel like there is more respect and courtesy.

Yeah, that's your opinion and you're welcome to it pal...

One thing that motivates me to share more fishing reports is when somebody makes a comment about something I’ve written. If you want more fishing reports, please give some feedback to the people who write them.

The dude who runs that FB page will always be great. He’s always out there posting the pictures and having fun, and his comedy relief is gold. He really could be on TV. Besides that though that group has been taken over by the kind of people who take things over for the worst, including 1 dude who is a full blown incel

It is a shame some folks are not able to use social media platforms constructively. That being said, it seems there are some quality catches being made in our area. I hope some folks chime in on their successes with where(general areas) and how it was done. As always, I hope some specific information could be included such as weather conditions, water temp, tides, etc...
I have always appreciated this forum and hope folks continue to contribute. As for me, I have not been out in a couple of weeks, so I don't have any news for y'all.
