Shot down by the admins, must keep the corporate revenue stream primed
A lot of you know I'm registered on just about every salt water fishing site out there. I jump in from time to time to help the new guys, but also to speak up when something is wrong and the admins don't seem to be concerned...spot burning and fish conservation are two of the subjects I'm most vocal about.
Here, I tried to post a satiric viewpoint to get guys to look at what their constant specific reports are doing to a Gateway park in the NY Bight area. I fish all the Gateway parks and feel that although some have miles of beaches, publicizing a specific section can, and has, caused problems for the regulars who fish tbere when hordes of fishermen descend upon them based on an internet or tackle shop report. :viking:
So in this post, I decided to try a humorous/satiric thrust. Mods were not amuised. The post lasted 4 hours befiore it was deleted...

"sharing is caring
Hey nice report, glad you got out there. http://www.noreast.com/discussion/im...cons/thumb.gif http://www.noreast.com/discussion/im...ns/ubicon8.gif
I am making this offer to all ******* members....
I actually own the 2 bridges in Brooklyn.
I am willing to give ONE of them away to a lucky angler in a contest.
To enter, all you have to do is predict what will happen 2 weeks from now....
1. Can we fit 500 guys on the small area of ** that's being talked about here day in and day out?
2. How long will that take? 5 days? 2 weeks?
3. If we can't fit 500 people there,, what is the maximum amount of people do you think we can fit, before we end up with posts here where guys are complaining about the crowds and garbage....http://www.noreast.com/discussion/im.../surprise2.gif
Enter as many times as you want, the one closest to predicting the meltdown of services and civility in this beautiful national park will be the winner. http://www.noreast.com/discussion/im...cons/thumb.gifhttp://www.noreast.com/discussion/im...cons/thumb.gif
Remember, I have TWO bridges in Brooklyn....anyone who comes close to the closest prediction is eligible for a special drawing to win or get the leasing revenue from the 2nd bridge I own....
Let the games begin, guys.
And remember, sharing is caring." http://www.noreast.com/discussion/im...ons/tongue.gif http://www.noreast.com/discussion/im...cons/thumb.gif
Hint, hint, the fish are in **
The internet tackle shop hero nominated for this month's spot burn award is a guy who likes to fish eels and brag about all the monster bass he's catching...
Fine, we get it, very happy for ya, dude...:clapping:
But when ya post phrases like: "Hint, hint, the fish are in **", what that does is concentrate the guys in one area, to the aggravation of homeowners (powerful and connected homeowners) , irritation for those who don't fish, and a general nuisance to those in Law Enforcement who must enforce those laws....
It's public information that all 3 bridges "in the back" in NNJ waters are now closed to fishermen.
This began earliier this year, an incident mentioned here, where some guys were bridge fishing (which the police tolerated despite the signs). They were told not to fish the opposite sidewalk. When they ignored police and their gear was confiscated, they leveled charges of racism against the police.
Even though these charges were false, no one is now allowed to fish on or near the bridges, the towns claiming safety as an issue. The real issue was dealing with these idiots from another country who couldn't manage to comply :beatin: with the police, as accomodating as they were....:thumbsup:
Bearing this in mind, what possesses someone to boast, on an open internet forum.. about bigger fish caught in this area, and bring folks down to tresspass and cause police to exercise their power? :huh:
Furthermore, what possesses such a guy to specifically name other small areas, in the county he fishes, to the extent that those other spots are now crowded as well...:beatin:
So crowded that you need to take a number.....:kooky:
Some of us, as mentioned, saw this coming, and now have plan B, C, and D in effect every time we are out there. Others, unknowingly, are drawn into the melee each time an internet hero http://stripersandanglers.com/Forum/...ons/icon13.png like this posts up about the fishing, and brings more people in...This eventually causes homeowners to have bad experiences with the volume of anglers....
There is one great location on Ocean County (back bay area) that now is unavailable to anglers because an angler got in an argument with a homeowner, and left a rack (remains of a filleted fish) on their property as a prank. This kind of behavior is unacceptable and should not be tolerated.
If you associate with people like this, consider it your duty to speak out against it. If not, the next time a place is shut down and we lose access, you will have no one to blame but yourself....:learn:
