Serious warning on reporting your catches

[Norrie]

Alan, Just you keep digging mate, we'll keep watching....

Alan.

I posted a catch report earlier this week concerning the abundance of bass off Portland.

How did my skipper know? He followed the commercial boys!!

Sometimes we get our own back.

No No Alan, you aint dug yourelf anywhere,

I agree with what your saying completely,

 

Tho i wish it was diffrent,

 

Hope we can all prove there still fish to be caught this weekend

Its true - even on great forums such as this, out of hundreds of members there is only the few that regulary post - a great number 'lurk' in the hope that they get some info from others, however they are unwilling to part with anything that might help others.

 

This practice does lend itself to 'cliques' forming or private message boards being set up , with invites only going out to the select few.

 

I have been lucky enough to fish with a few members of this board and on other forums/mailing lists, who have helped me out a great deal over the years, which has got me back into fishing after a 20yr absence. I have had the pleasure of a few boat trips and enjoyed the hospitality of others - as a non-boater myself have sadly been unable to repay there kindness.

 

Maybe as a 'Non boating novice' I don't see commercials as a threat - though from the postings of seasoned others I can see that it is a genuine concern.

 

....I won't go into 'when I were a lad - you couln't drop a baited hook into the Clyde without catching a 20lb cod"
