Don't worry, President Obama's fishing reports czar will be coming for Noreast soon
In the meanwhile, follow MakoMike's,or even better Freddy Azaiter's advice
The reports section has become a huge PITA for a lot of us, but it pays the bills so they allow it to remain. Too many jokers feel the need to massage their ego in a public forum and by doing so blow up spots on a fairly regular basis.
I think you are also seeing a trend that happens every year during blackfish season, when people tend to become more secretive, private boats tend to get pulled and fewer private anglers are out there. Certainly everyone can find some middle ground between GPS numbers and "Northern Hemisphere"
There have also been a number of threads where people are complaining that a report was too specific.
Try to say you caught fish on the shore of Little Neck Bay in the spring and see how many complaints you get about giving up that "secret" spot.
If you don't like it here or have a problem with the way this thing works, just leave.
No hard feelings.
None at all.
WWW.NOREAST.COM
Love it, like it or leave it.
It's a fishing website.
Don't dig so deep into the inner workings of it.
Most like it here.
Myself included.
There are other sites ya know!

JC Fishin reports Czar
Not if my life depended on it !!!
Don't think mine and the Chosen One's views on use of natural resources exactly square, anyway
So, anyone else think the newbie wishes he mabey just posted in the Welcome Aboard forum and said hello first before starting a thread like this ?
I find the reports are best used for the "are the fish biting" kind of info.
I probably check them most in the beginning of each bass season (spring/fall), If I see a couple of bass reports in my area then I know the season started and the fish are in.
I never drink anything stronger than gin before breakfast.
Jc, I wrote it wrong.
Didn't really mean you.
Just was LMAO at the comment> After the crap in the paper About Obama making this Czar or that "czar".
I thought "fishing reports czar" was ****** hysterical.
Great comment!

Oh,lol! Yeah, like I said, King Obama couldn't pay me enough !
That's exactly why I wrote that, there seems to be a "czar" for every single aspect of American life these days, so why not a fishing reports czar while we're at it .
Yes that is certainly accurate but you can glean some information if you wade through the fluff. And based on the rude comments I can see why you would feel even less welcome. Mean spirited rants and political opinions do nothing for the site. Just add accurate posts with as much information as possible and we can all benefit.
I am constantly amazed at Party Boats that have web sites with "reports" that are 3 months old and older and then ***** about business. If they can't even attend to their site and customer base why should I trust their ability to put me on fish.
I always post accurate descriptions and want to know a number of factors. Any one spot is only as productive as many varied conditions- tide, temperature, wind, time of year etc. So post accurate reports and create some good karma.
