I with other anglers have followed this Website almost from the start when the Lake Calcasieu reports dwindled off LSM. I am in my early 50’s and not much of a web blogger but I would like to express my concerns though my eyes and others alike.
Over the last four to six months this site has taken many changes to the eye. I really enjoyed the fishing reports from my area and the likes of a few good anglers. I used to enjoy the acquisitiveness of well debated topics and the art of blacked out banks by some. This site was built by us the anglers and grew by the anglers of my area. I recall a small staff on here that put on a great benefit lasts year that my boy and I fished. I had the chance to meet a few of guys who were favorites on this site.
I do not visit as much as I used to because the fishing reports and general talk of fishing has been over taken by non sense spam post. I love sports and I love my McNeese Cowboys along with LSU (which I did not attend but hold season tickets). I see one or two who have drained the life out of this site with the negative toward our football teams and kids. I would like my children and others to be able to come here and enjoy fishing and outdoors like we used to do. We have become a second tier site to tigerdroppings.com and lost focus on why and what this site was built on.
Familiar names that have been here from the beginning are no longer here. Fishing or hunting reports get lost in numerous pointless threads about football or our young athletes playing the game.
I apologize if I stepped out of line and do not attend to offend anyone person or persons. I as an angler just wanted to express my thoughts and feelings. I hope we can turn it around and make saltycajun as good as it used to be.
God Bless, Kyle

Kyle,
I sincerely hope I am replying to real true geniune person...which is entitled to an opinion. I have been here since the beginning as well and can pretty much attest to alot that has transpired here.
1st I counted four or five reports on Big Lake recently.
2nd "Blacked out banks" is that really a report? I will show you the catch but not where it was caught?
3rd Sports discussions...Believe me there were sports discusions on here in the past that I WOULD NOT want my child to read. In fact they have become more civil. Yes I agrees there aren't as many constant posters regarding LSU and MSU. A difference of opinion is what? Human Nature. Its a matter of not responding to BS and it will go away.
4th Familiar names chose their path.
5th I know I have to work 5 days a week and my weekends are dedicated to my family, house upkeep, etc. I can't fish all the time like I would like. I sure this applies to most people on here. Other discussions are started.
6th There has been more civil conversations on here than there were in the begining. In my opinion.
I respect your post and agree on some points, but in turn you must respect my opinion. Just as each poster must respect each other's opinion. If it goes out of line it will be handled.
Thanks Kyle for posting and adding to an awesome site.
