I know I must be crazy and its a lure forum but its just a thought :

over the past few months there have been few threads about that have had dead or live bait involvement in them, would it not be a idea to have a small bait section so any and all bait related stuff can get posted in there whatever it is - I'm not thinking a whole section with sub sections, just a dark corner somewhere for those that find it hard to resist temptation now and then - could almost be seen as a confession section, where no judgement will be passed

I know there are others that find it hard to resist the smelly stuff on occasion and maybe they want to share that too

( mr mullins livebaiting cod, littlehampton bream fishing, ritchie and his plaice, Andy from Guernsey with a convienient loaf of bread in his van, etc etc - oh and me with a good boat bait sesh today)

I used to post bait stuff in the C.I section on the "other side" but thats has died a death and this is where it is at.

what do other memers and mods/admin reckon?

Please dont call me Judas.....................its just a thought!

 

[Alan Behenna]

what do other memers and mods/admin reckon

Well.........as you have asked for other opinions..........the answer is "no"......the theme is "The Lure Forum"............

 

[Tim Murphy]

what do other memers and mods/admin reckon?

NO.

Brother Andy's confession about using bread was bad enough t'other day, now you, Brother Krash, want a whole section?????? :wink::wink::wink:

 

[Ritchie Campion]

I think it's a good idea mate! I love lures but I love bait too! It could just be a tiny bait report section even? Who can argue seeing pictures of fish being caught! If you didn't likethe section then..... Don't go into it lol

 

[Keith White]

If guys want to report bait sessions fine but, imho, leave the bait section off the forum. Loads of other forums do that already.

 

[Nicola Ward]

I think its a good idea, and will be interesting to see the difference in catch rates and such like.
Just a little section tho!!!

 

[Nick Anthony]

Not in favour. There are plenty of other forums for this. I use the forum because of its specialist nature

 

[trev richardson]

Ho Hum! so much snobbery still around..where's the refreshing live and let live attitude that appears to be so prevalent and is the strength of this Forum now.??

I don't have a problem with it but at the end of the day it's down to the Forum management. It may get stopped to prevent back biting from other members though...

 

[Ger Doran]

I really enjoy my bait fishing in fact thats all I used to do but I like the forum because of its "lure only" topics and thats what makes this forum diffrent to other ones and keeps people interested and posting. Thats my view on it anyway.

 

[Keith White]

It may get stopped to prevent back biting from other members though...

I have no personal issues with bait fishing. I often do it. I love freelining for Bass. Backbiting isn't going to happen as the mods would be all over it if a section is put in place.

 

[Steve Lewis]

No !, I have no issues with bait fishing, but please, not on this Lure forum.

 

[Peter Smith]

NO!, I already have a bookmark of fishing forums that do bait, please keep this one unique.

 

[Callum]

its the lure forum i dont mind the odd confession but a whole section dedicated to bait nah thanks

 

[Retired]

I agree with Dumbass.

 

[Dave Watson]

Allready its unanimous No, I was only curious , I'm still here whatever and I came here for the Lures anyways.

Myself I have only baited twice this year so its not a big thing and can see that Lure fishing has really got me .

But 2 days ago I had a 45lb Tope, 35Lb Conger and a 4Lb Turbot and 3 red Gurnards so was a bit pleased with myself as the Tope and Turbot and Gurnard's where new species for me. (there I've got it out now :-0 - the mrs had to hear about it all night).

Yesterday I went out with lures and plugs and had 3 schoolies on my first 3 casts , a bump off on my fourth and a follow on my 5th and 6th, then nothing for next 2 hrs - and it was on a par as exciting, if not more than the day before !

If it wasnt my 1st year wedding anniversary this weekend, I would be out with lures most of the weekend, but then I dont think I would see my 2nd

Cheers

Dave

Dave, thanks for the thought. We are and will remain a lure based site, there are so many other regional/national forums out there that are bait related. We will shortly be adding a freshwater catch report section for those that are interested.

 

[steve mullins]

Is the freshwater catch report section lure only?

 

[Ritchie Campion]

Is the freshwater catch report section lure only?

I was wondering that but I'm assuming yes? Then again you know what assuming did

 

[bob jameson]

It should be steve , may get the odd angler visiting the AA with a confession to having smelly fingers.. :-o :muttley:

 

[steve mullins]

Reckon you've forgotten what its like to have smelly fingers Bob!
