well, i am pleased to report that my string of skunks on the Cowlitz has finally come to a victorious end!!! After watching people pull 'heads out around my buddy and I for a few hours we finally swallowed our pride, asked for advise and borrowed a couple of small secret items in an attempt to jump on the "catching bandwagon" and rise from the fishless masses. Within an hour and a half I had my limit and buddy had hooked up and lost two piggies (One of which came completely outta the water and spit the hook 120yds downstream)....looked pretty big, feel bad for buddy)........thanks to all who shared their bank, wisdom, and a wonderful afternoon with two complete fishing addicts..... made the 2 hour drive completely worth it!

-give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime-

@KDP: all fish were hooked top jaw......... catch some fish instead of trying to belittle those who do.....FYI: no flosing involved, leaders under 6ft.....wow, no wonder people don't post reports that often on here....thanx to all with positive comments......

Here's an idea that just came to me... what would you guys think about having a moderated comment system for the reports? Each comment would be sent to a "queue" where the author of the report could approve the comments only if it was satisfactory?

This is a great idea Aaron. After all it is the authors report and thoughts. The negative reports, for the most part, are not really helping. It's more belittling. My thoughts.

I'm getting tired of dealing with new members that sign up and post garbage. psydeye99 and KingDonkyPuncher , if you want to stay on this site, send me an e-mail as to why, otherwise you're both permanently suspended. Why people think it's OK to assume the worst and then post on a public forum is beyond me. Aaron, I think that's a great idea. The sooner the better!

@Jbandurraga: Thanx buddy....couldn't of done it without ya.....@Mike&Aaron: I'm with y'all on whatever you think might work....it is dumb that people who put up meaningful reports for member enjoyment and updated fishing conditions should have to justify ANYTHING to ANYBODY other than the webmasters for this site.... for the most part though, member response is 99% positive..... there'll always be a couple of knuckleheads who feel entitled to talk smack....
