Wouldn't it be cool if there was a fishing forum where outdoor men/women across south Louisiana could get together and actually share information and help each other out in a community atmosphere?

You could break up the conversation into hunting, freshwater fishing, and saltwater fishing.

We could have premium memberships to talk about sports and politics... I think this is a wonderful idea.

The sad part is that it will never happen because we are all about the "ME" generation on social media and internet forums these days. People are only concerned about saying "LOOK AT ME... LOOK WHAT I DID"... "No, sorry I can't tell you any specifics because someone else might catch MY fish"

We forget that sharing the outdoors with our friends is about people and helping your fellow sportsman. If I knew Vermillion bay I would offer some advice buddy... unfortunately I don't even fish Big Lake enough to keep up with it.

I agree with you, as well disagree. I think Satly is a good place to talk fish and discuss whats and wheres, just gotta weed through a lot of the flack, actually kinda like "fishin". Just the other day peps were talking about Holly beach making a killin, I have never been to holly beach so I made the run, I now know. As well the wash out was hitting too, I my self have posted a few details about black lake.

NOW am I or anyone else going to tell you where my honey holes are? NO. I have spent $1000s and 100s of hrs finding theses spots. Spent money with guides getting educated. 100s of hrs looking at charts, maps google earth, bing imaging. $100s on lures, artificials, and using each one and honing on what works and what dosent. Hell I just found a new bait that's works GREAT and its not a salt water bait. It looked good and from what I know is a preferred artificial in BL is seemed to fit in. So I bought it and it worked! Although I have many that don't. I actually enjoy the "HUNT" and this is part of it. I have been fishing BL well over a year now I go in the spring summer fall and winter (ask W about our ride back in the winter to the peir one evening with 4ft waves) and have FINALLY gotton to a point I can do "ok" Now if you go fishing with me we both may learn something from each other. Granted there dosent seem to be a lot of chatter about V bay, and it seems most peps here fish BL. Hell I roll by Iowa every time I go to BL Ill have to stop and pick you up!

Read up on article on the web, heres a nugget for ya, its information I use as well just as a general month to month guide http://texasweekendangler.com/lake_c..._louisiana.htm

I still go hunting/scouting around even though I know a few spots that produce. This weekend Ill check out a few new places that I have never been.

Have fun my friend, go burn some fuel and go drown some "shkrimps" (hahaha inside joke)
