Sadly, all the action is on Facebook now. I have reluctantly embraced it. There are ways of managing it in to a forum more or less. 

Had a look at a F/B page ,NZ fishing community, Fish ID someone asked and it turned in to cicus folled by insults,same for PB fish should let it breed etc Nah worst than old days of Fnet.

Was good when it was going, learned heaps when first starting out....it was going down in flames way before first lock down
Ive just checked there, they had their best "most users online" last month - 2266 & yet, only 3 actual posts for the entire 2024

Yakkas thread  go back 3 or 4 pages and you find results,doesnt seem to be fixed anytime soon.

People prefer facebook for their own reasons. I'm still here  . No doubt some people blame the 'system'  for the downturn in forums such as these. But yeah, you can get anyone to agree or otherwise on social media. You can soldier on here and get 10%  of bad information or choose 90%  on poorly managed sites ;)

I still read the Tauranga and Rotorua Lakes reports, but they're pretty sparse. I do appreciate the people who take the time to post reports, and I should do the same whenever I get out (not often enough). I'll make the effort to at least add a 'like' whenever someone posts.

About a week or two before Catchelot passed away, he sent me a pm requesting I keep the Catch Of The Day and Caption This thread going. My post were deemed inappropriate ( maybe some were) and subsequently deleted or blocked.
Not sure if either threads exist anymore.

Boooooooo

Did a search and can find "Caption this" but seems "catch of the day"buried

I spose we just have to keep posting I do really enjoy the reports on here and I will make an effort to follow guys posts.

I for one haven’t done anywhere the amount of fishing this year to last year with all this wind that’s been around. I didn’t take my big tinny over to corro at Christmas time which meant I could only go out in my little quintrex so I only got out twice.

Weather looks to be coming right now but I have noticed the water is very salty which is an indication of low oxygen levels. Could be the reason for crap fishing today.
