I read them but don't believe a damn thing unless I know the person is reliable. There are guys on the other site that don't really post true reports, I know most of the guys on this site and know they are legit so I will take more interest in them...but lately I've just been reading them to see what can possibly be criticized.

I don't have the network Francis has but I have a group of #'s from reliable guys and like to talk to them before I go out, especially if it's been a long time. Part of the fun is finding your own fish, but when you've been as sporadic as I've been lately I can't keep track of where they are and then the good guys come through and really help you out...kind of the same reason I don't turn on the VHF when I'm out there, cell phone much more reliable...
