    every since they got hacked (a few times, but last one was last straw), they took away the member Chat and the another add on to prevent further hacking and most people just moved to Facebook.

    I think the same issue is occurring here that is occurring on local lakes forums.. People are being more secretive about how they go about fishing and their techniques, even though nothing is a secret anymore... Money is making the world go round now days and any info that is shared can be used against you. Tournaments are occurring every weekend on lakes and if you share how you caught them during the week, you are putting yourself at a disadvantage going into the tournaments ( if you are fishing the TX ). I may be completely wrong but this is just from my observations.. Sad how its going.

    I think Squire is referring to the VA-Outdoors.com website and their forums. However, this forum is also just about as dead.

    since I don’t fish tournaments, I don’t mind sharing some of my secret techniques. As soon as I have some, I’ll let you know!

    I get it to a point. People can be general and still helpful without giving out a specific spots. Water conditions or temps can help etc.
    even mentioning a local festival could be interesting to someone.

    I agree with it being dead. I used to post quite a bit but no one really seemed interested and/or did not want to add. I kind of gave up as well.

    Maybe this 9.40 from Smith Mountain that my buddy caught will bring some excitement to the VA page

    Years ago I used to go to Santee Cooper and sometimes stayed at Canal Lakes Fish Camp. I don't know if they have the same cook, Miss Patsy, but she
    made the best catfish stew. The fried catfish was also excellent.

    I hope she's not on life support. She could cook up some awesome meals. Probably retired by now.

    The board is slow, but the James river is Hot Hot Hot this week. Going to be some really nice bag in the CATT on Saturday.
    Hang on. I'll help you in 77 minutes.

    I'll be there. I was planning on running to the Chick, but all this rain and high wind tomorrow will have me sticking close.
