Northwest Fishing Reports

I do not like the fact that anglers must select from a list on "tackle used" or "method." The questions are fine but the selection is incomplete and misleading. As an example for bass anglers there is no choice for popular lures like crankbaits, spinnerbaits, plastic worms or jigs. And in "methods Used" bass anglers don't just fish top or bottom. Most use a combination of lures. And, crankbaits and spinnerbaits do not fit into either catagory. Why not just let the angler pick his own anwsers instead of forcing them to choose from a list?

I can add items to the lists if you think they are incomplete. The reason they are in list format instead of free form text entry is because the data from those lists will be used in a future website feature that will only work correctly if every item is identical. I don't want to give too much away just yet, but there are good reasons why we have made it that way. If you want other items added to the list, feel free to make a list and send it our way.
