Guppy, here is a message I posted June 4. I was also trying to fill in while you were sick, posted some reports, but they seemed to have disappeared? Any idea why?
Also, sorry people are mad that you are speaking the truth about ibsp. I wanted to say something in support, but don't know where to post it? plse advise, tks, Dark
[Guppie, you made an honest point there, and it deserves a response. I wonder how many people come here every day to check the reports, yet don't feel this site is worthy to contribute to? Don't people think you can check IP's?
I could understand if you think this site sux, where you wouldn't be interested in the info Guppie puts out. But you're right - many people come here, day after day, and don't think to help you out with some reports.
I'm one of those guilty ones, Guppie, so people can cast the first stones at me. But I appreciate the reports from Guppie's corner of the world, and will stand up for her.
She's a chick, she baits her own hooks, fishes in all kinds of weather, and has a lot of love and respect for the man she met many years ago, Don.
How many of us mooks are lucky enough to be as fortunate as Don?
The only thing I can think that might cause tension is that some people feel you give out too much info.
Maybe you could have a pay section of your reports for the regular reports written by you, charge maybe $12/yr for access, and eff the free-loaders. Also, blitz and specific location info would then only be shared by your loyal members, and people might be cool with that, even the guppie haters. ]
DarkSkies,
I want to thank you for your kind words, no I am not perfect, wish I were, I do all the thing you say, I do know I have a few Guppie Haters.
I could never ask any one to pay for reports, if any one wants to I would more then glad send them a PM on to exactly where to fish, I give an area now because of the past pressure I was getting, and as well as to respect a few anglers wish who put many hours in to fishing.
people just have to take me for what I am and who I am, I am me and won't change any of my ways , not after almost being 60 LOL.
You do have a point about sharing reports, Thats why I have forums, any member can post a report.
Many of my members became friends, beach buddies, I would introduce some amglers on the beach to one another, It's been good for 5 years now.
I seem to be attracted to Grumpys bait shop because they are well respectable business men, the kid they have working there Ray is also a respectable kid, Paul is the sweet heart, That's why I recomemd that shop to many anglers.
We all have our bad moments at times, but we get over it and go on with life, some just live with bad moments forever.
No need for you to feel guilty about not sharing reports, it would be nice and helpful to put reports in my forums, no need to feel guilty if you don't .
Lots of anglers met one another that way and became friends., It realy does not bother me much about not many posting reports.
At times I can't take stress, I am worried about having major surgery in late august, I am a high risk patient, I want to make sure I am OK for when my daughter in law has her little bundle if Joy in November, I have a lot on my mind and I fly off the handle and say I had it with reports, but once I calm down I think Why would I make a fool spoil what I love doing, if I do stop fishing reports, I am the fool.
Again Thanks for the kind words and try again going in to my forums, I looked for your June 3rd posts and did not find any thing, maybe they got lost in cyber world.LOL
Sorry about your posts not being there, I donot have the answer as to why.
Guppie
