fishing reports missing

Today's internet fishing report game is a whole 'nother beast compared to a decade ago, when there were far fewer kayak anglers. You only need to experience your favorite bay or river spot getting burned once to make you re-think what you share on a public forum. Especially when you put in the effort to dial in those fisheries yourself, without riding on someone else's coattails.

Well said, and sad but true.

I think a lot of us have been there. It's a delicate balance, because I want to encourage other kayakers to get out and find success on the water without blowing up spots. At this point I don't even mention lesser-known launches.

The bottom line is every year there's more people in the same amount of space, and I find myself driving farther to get out of this sport what drew me to it in the first place.

I've read/scanned all recent posts...for a report by ANYONE who has been out on the water.    Did not find ONE...!!!...?      Just newbies introducing themselves.

Don't understand

It's a bit ironic that your first post is complaining about no reports and newbies introducing themselves, when you've done neither. We are generally very welcoming, and I'm glad you're here, but if your goal is just to skim reports there's probably better places.

Isn't it possible juddsmith has been lurking for a long time?  It would still be nice to see an introductory post but I can see at least one way it could have slipped their mind.

Uh, you're on the wrong forum. This is Northwest Kayak Anglers which covers from OREGON North and East.  Since you hail from Berkley, CAL I think you might have better luck getting on the NORCAL kayakers forum where reports will be more pertinent to the Bay Area and northern Cal coastline.
