I think its the majority arguing with the minority here, and thats been the case with all these threads over the last couple weeks.

Why do I post pictures? A few reasons.

I love reading about and seeing pictures of people's days and fish. It makes a day inside or s stressful day a bit nicer and allows you to daydream about that next one.

I post for the same reason, to repay the favour and in hopes that someone will find my pictures and story entertaining.

Last but not least there is some pride.... yes, its nice to talk about being successful when everyone else was getting skunked, or showing pictures of your personal best. It's also motivating to see the same from others because you get to see whats out there and gives you something to shoot for.

ill agree with him completely and yea posting pics is bragging, just depends how you take it in... i love it when people brag it gives me the green light on doing it myself! hehe i figured out that its only the jealous people that seem to have a problem with it... anyways the whole bluring thing is fine but like en other poster said, it kills it for me i can go on google and type steelhead and get thousands of pics of steelhead i like the combination of a smile on en anglers face and the atmosphere hes in! the fish is alwayse nice to but i uno the more detail the more i sorta FEEL the picture... i always trye to put the nicest background i can just so i can remember it better and well just makes a nicer pic but thats just me i dont realy care what people do! Live and let live...

and well the hiding of the ''spot'' doesnt do poop for me haha i dont live anywhere near where you guys fish but for other people i highly doubt there gonna waste there time trying to find that perticular spot... i go fishing one spot one day catch a bunch of bass go there the next not a single fish.... s00o unless trout stay in one spot for days or weeks at a time then i don't see the big concern...

[Spinninreel]

OK....OK.....OK.... I have to get this off my chest, I just can't take it any more and have to come clean. I once told some people when I was very young that there were nice fish in lake Ontario and that these fish would swim up the connecting rivers. Another time, in 1972 I had my photo album out and a picture of me with a fish and a perfectly clear background fell out while I had some friends over and I think they saw the picture. I just want to apologize to any who was harmed by my actions and caused them a living hell. I was young and didn't know better and I promise that this will never happen again.

You too miss the point, but that's okay. Reread my original post, and try to understand the point. Once you "get it", the rest makes sense. I brag, I tell stories, I share pictures, I have fun fishing with my buddies (and my wife <grin> now I'm bragging) but that's not the point. This is a public forum - most of the lurkers and members none of you know - you don't know me from Fred down the street. So what's the real reason for having a discussion about blurring backgrounds? So you can say to all those people, eat your heart out, I caught this really nice fish and I'm not saying where. hahahaha... seriously, and now you entertain yourself by questioning my sarcasm, nice!
Think about it!

I didn't read much of this thread and I could honestly care less. If you can understand that, you'll "get it" as well. "Think about it!"


Just keep thinking.

Do we get jokes or are we all feeding some sort of EGO?

"You too miss the point, but that's okay".

No, I get it. Just thought I'd make a JOKE.

I guess sarcasm on top of sarcasm is too much for a "sarcastic" person to understand.

[Alfiegee]

I don't like to give spots away, that's cause I fish Specks and there are not many places left to do that.
There was a thread that lasted a number of days and discussed all this in detail and offered some very interesting discussion, unfortunately it is Locked now.

To all who love a scenic picture or two ... and a fish called Wanda ...or was it Walter ?( thanks NADO ) lol.
Happy Holidays to ALL of you and Tightlines for a coming 2012 season . Peace ....

Great pics Notta..

[georgianbaydrifter]

Way to go Notta!!
Awesome pics... I recognize a few of those spots

There's too many crybabies around this forum. I came here with the intention of being part of an online fishing community... now I log in once in a blue moon to watch the Flame Wars lol. I've found much better resources online with much friendlier and more like-minded anglers.

Joel52... does that mean you don't enjoy sharing a good story with fellow fisherman about the hog bass you caught in the rainstorm or the giant trout you landed one snowy morning when it was too cold for anyone else to be roughin it on the river? who cares if some forum hero like you thinks it's wrong to post photos. you're taking the fun out of angling for everybody. the point of the internet, and forums, is to share and enjoy one another's experiences. and you know what, if someone goes 10/10 one day, by all means i look FORWARD to hearing them brag about it. If you weren't fishing in a spot that EVERYONE knows ie Credit, Bronte then you wouldn't have that problem. And who cares if someone says the Credit @ Erindale is on fire? There's gonna be 100 people there on any given day anyways, fish or not.

I could post pics of everywhere I fish, and I GUARANTEE you no one would be able to say "I know exactly where that spot is." Even if I said, i'm going to hit the Coldwater this weekend cuz it's on fire, nobody except the most regular visitors to that particular creek would have ANY idea where the fish are holding.

......dont be be certian of that, LOL coldwater is on fire........translation walk 4km of bushy creek bank lose 20 hooks and a couple floats and be happy with your two fish. dont waste you time it really isnt worth it besides i hear the guys who fish it regularily are jerks.
