Haven't seen a new discussion/report in some time. Is no one fishing or has the forum just drifted off into the sunset? I haven't caught anything lately, have you?
SO WHEN IS THIS "OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW BETTER" SUPPOSED TO KICK IN?

Snook seemed to be shut down...May sneak out and try tonight though.
I won.. Only had a 7 lb bag. Looks like I may do a little grouper fishing soon though.
How to See Exactly Where a Photo Was Taken (and Keep Your Location Private)
https://www.howtogeek.com/211427/how-to-see-exactly-where-a-photo-was-taken-and-keep-your-location-private/Now it's "look at what I caught." Yep...you caught a fish. Anyway.
Hey Dave, heard you moved, what's the deal?
I saw your Gheenoe the other day so know you are still in the area.

As far as fishing, I've been doing well, and will be out there again tomorrow.
And I have NO problems posting photos from my computer whenever I want.
MY WORST FEAR......THAT WHEN I DIE MY WIFE WILL SELL ALL MY BOATS & FISHING GEAR FOR WHAT I TOLD HER I PAID FOR IT.......
I may not always agree with what you say,
but I will always respect your right to be wrong!
It can get rough on here. newbs get hammered if they depict a fish held incorrectly, say the "wrong" thing, ask a dumb question, etc...
Today was a slow day for us on the water. Had a joker blow us up 1st thing when no one else was even in sight...work hard for a couple reds, a nice trout, then just went trout fishing. put a nice ding in the prop hitting a rock on the way out at low tide. Came home with a nice fish for dinner. Maybe if we had caught a whole bunch of reds and gator trout a report would be worthwhile. Had not had my boat out since tarpon season. nice day today.
Way to go Jim!

You can't get GPS information from a picture posted on this or most other forums. A posted picture doesn't contain location information since it is just a link to an image hosted on a server with the properties stripped out in order to conserve space and allow faster loading.

Post a recent picture of a flock of pintails on public waters and I’ll dm you the numbers.

I admit that I seldom do anymore except the same (commenting on others) It's not because I have anything against posting, it's just that my life has taken some unfortunate twists and turns over the past couple years and I just haven't been fishing much for one reason or another! I really hope this changes in the near future as I really miss the comradery we used to have on this site!!
I used to be a fairly average fisherman who was lucky enough to get out there and catch a fish or two once in a while. But as time passes, I don't hear from my buddy's anymore wanting to go out to catch a few anymore? Maybe it's out of sight out of mind since I stopped posting photo's of an occasional snook or red on these pages? I know that the only way I can change my lack of fishing and posting is to get up off my fat azzz and get out there!! So here's to seeing Y'all a little more in the near future, hopefully holding a fat snuke or groopa and good luck to all of you!!! Let's stop whining and start posting!!!
Common Louie, let's go put some slabz of joy in the boat?????? It's trolling time!!!

As far as reports go, a lot of us are getting older and don't fish as much as we used to. We also are getting lazy and it sometimes feels like a lot of work to put together a report.
Social media is killing all of the traditional forums. It's much easier to post reports and pictures on Facebook or Instagram. That's where most of the younger fisherman are posting reports. And there are fishing groups on Facebook that pretty much are the same thing as website forums. I rarely post reports here anymore because by the time I get home after a trip, the guys that I often fish will have already put something up on Facebook. I pretty much only report here if something unusual happens or there is some biological stuff going on that people might find interesting.
Public fishing forums still have advantages though. It's hard for folks moving into an area to find reports on Facebook or to get access to closed fishing groups. The public nature of this and the few other remaining fishing forums are accessible to a wider audience.
As far as spot burning by posting on public forums goes, I think it's overblown. All mangroves look the same and there are hundreds of spots from where you can see the power plant. And as I said, you can't get GPS information from a posted picture unless you are a government agency (or a major hacker) that can do an image match search on private servers.
Some of the guys who complain most about people stealing their spots from posted internet reports seem to have no problem posting pictures of their boats, which invites people to follow them around.
We are a good group. If you don't believe it come and meet the ones who show up at any of the get togethers. We can be even better.
Your reports are more than just bragging rights on a good catch. A LOT of people (members and lurkers) really enjoy reading and seeing the catch. Work , medical issues , boat issues and life in general keeps folks from getting out to enjoy what we get to do. Those people need the few seconds it takes to read the report and escape all the other stuff . Myself, it rekindles old memories of past trips and ignites my desire to go fishing. If you 're reading the posts and are not happy with the lack of new ones … Well ?
I'll get back on the saddle here and post once in awhile beside just using FaceBook. I'll still mention lures (hardly ever do bait) and water condition though as it's important too. And as always, I never hesitate to help someone who is civil in their request or fishing buddies who might need help, as others have done for me.

Our first bash was a freaking insane party amongst the young uns. LOL
If you're anywhere near Cortez I highly recommend it...
Most fried fish served around here seems to be tilapia, which is pretty flavorless. It's easy to tell that it's not grouper.
