This is a problem I've noticed seems to becoming more frequent,especially when it involves party and charter boats.Posting a report is supposed to give helpful advice on location,bait/lure and technique.I dont want your numbers but will it kill you to give something as simple and generic as depth.
There's a few examples today(5/12) such as Bruce hitting stripers and fluke,no mention of location,depth,bait,lures, trolling etc.,its just an ad for the Rainbow Runner. Same thing with merebagof shellscharters,limits on seabass but no mention of where,bait,wreck,depth,nothing.Not even a 100 mile radius. I was under the impression taht these reports were supposed to be of use for feeding patterns,migration etc,not advertisements for charters or just outright bragging,otherwise the reports are as useless as the other mags. I dont personally care how big Soon Yan Phangs fish was,but It'd be informative to know on what rig.
I think it might be a good idea to have a form with required fields of information and then a comments area.If someone doesnt want to give that info,I'm cool with that but at least i dont waste my time.
Let's hear what others think or maybe I'm way off base.
