What do you think the most important thing on a fishing forum should be? Why do you think anglers check a fishing forum?

interesting question
cant wait to see the responses

I think it depends on the person. Some are looking to sale or buy and others looking for local reports. Some on here in the OT don't even fish. Myself is for reports,sale buy things and knowledge of different places and technique s

Thanks for sharing Mark.

I come on here to get reports and muck it up with my old buddies. A lot of them aren't on here anymore or at least don't post anymore. I also think this is the best place to come to find new jigs/products. The TFF guys make some really high quality stuff.

Respectful, and possibly entertaining, exchange of knowledge and information. I also appreciate the friendships I've made here.

Same thing people used to get at ole time boat dock. You know, the place where they rented a boat for $20 and sold minners for 50 cents a dozen.

Are they bitin?

What are they bitin on?

Where are they at?

If you watch this forum you can get all those answers.

My expectations fall short! I just browse it usually because im bored and cant fish like days like today. Very little useful information with REALLY big egos! But it passes the time and gives me a laugh every now and then.

I've gotten to much information to list, it all has equalled a increase in may catch. Keep it coming!

I go along with this one too

The forum used to be much more beneficial as information was actually shared. Today there are too many jokers on here that have made people feel less welcomed to share info. People always are so critical these days. I've met some good guys from this forum on on the water or at the ramp thru the years. It's become more about entertainment it seems these days.

The information, the back and forth between TFF buddies, sometimes highly entertaining; trying to decipher the "inside" banter, and the fireworks that erupt when a controversial TFF'er, you know, the ones with the "bullseye" painted on their backs, drop in to post! Extremely entertaining at times!

And finally making heads or tails of Ketchn's (my favorites!)postings.

The TFF is NOT what it used to be, expectations have changed as a result.
10-12 years ago when the TFF was just getting going, it was a great place to exchange input and information.
It's just not the same as it used to be. As a result, some of the absolute best contributors from the past have quit posting.
Don't get me wrong, there are still some great guys on here. It's just not what it used to be.
Now a days, I expect to share a few pics and reports after I sift through a bunch of posts trying to sell stuff.

What I see. Awesome fisherman that don't give reports anymore. If you guys only knew. I'm sure some do know. Kind of like what you don't know can't hurt you. Well it bugs me a bit to have all this information I see and learn from never being shared.

I believe first and foremost a fishing forum should be full of "Fishing Reports". Marketing should be in said fishing reports and finding like minded people to fish with is always a plus.

What I see happening here. Not picking on anyone just saying what I think.

When the number of posts are covented more than the integrity of information in said post we have a huge issue. Those that have IMHO pricless information don't want to be associated with fun and games. So they don't post. I'm telling y'all this blows.

Thanks all that are sharing. Good info.
