Facebook Fishing Reports....
It's been brought to my attention that there are guys out there with some pretty specific facebook pages.
I'm not talking about the people who post their fish pics, videos, and pics of good times.
Nothing wrong with that.
Facebook has become another extension of our lives.
I'm not on it, just don't have the time for what could become another addictive use of my limited time. But I do see the value in it.
And there are many out there who use it for an extension of their business or social network.
I surely see the value in that. :thumbsup:
There's a member here, SharkHart, who has a facebook page, videos, pics, the whole 9 years. I haven't seen it because I'm not registered on Facebook. I've been told it's a great page, informative, and has some awesome video.,
Some other members here have them as well, some friends in other states document all their catches this way. It becomes sort of a fishing log for them. http://stripersandanglers.com/Forum/...cons/icon3.png
Surf Fishing and the GoPro Camera Newbies....
Pete, it's getting worse every year.
A newbie was out a few weeks ago, had some hot fishing on a rockpile.
Got some good numbers, was proud of his ability and his catching, so he filmed it...
Nothing wrong with that, right? :thumbsup: :fishing:
But, then, ho posted it on the internet,,,for the world to see...
Nothing wrong with that, either, right?
Absolutely not....
What he foolishly did, was turn the camera around more than once, to show the shoreline and the exact jetty he was fishing...
Question:
What's the big deal about that Dark, no one owns access in NJ, shouldn't we all have the right to fish wherever we want?
My Answer:
When you do something like that, showing the exact location, people may not know the reason you caught 27 fish was due to a special set of circumstances, blitz conditions, or an abnormal concentration of bait..
They see that video, and stream to that specific site...resulting in crowds...litter, guys pizzing on the property of private homeowners, and leaving fish racks in the garbage cans of private homeowners......http://stripersandanglers.com/Forum/...ons/icon13.png
Eventually, behavior like this causes us to lose access, and we ALL suffer, for the ego-driven behavior of a selfish few....
