as far as these "certain" rivers go...
i dont believe the "hype" either...
2 summers ago on a smaller tributary down south NOT one word was mentioned about that trib on ANY of the major fishing websites for the state of michigan(or anywhere else for that matter) and to my amazement the water was packed!!!:yikes:
im sorry but when you go kayaking to get away from the crowds and count 28 driftboats going by it reminds you of the PM in the middle of a heavy salmon run...
so i too don't believe in the hype...
it may sound mean but in the 5 years i have been a member here the site has changed alot...
and with that being said the number of members has more than doubled...
the problom isn't these sites...
it is how popular fishing/hunting is becoming...
nowadays instead of corporate golf outings you have guided corporate outings on the big manistee, PM or muskegon...
im not complaining because i know everybody has to make a dollar too...
but with that being said you have to accept that these "small" waters will have pressure too...
whats gonna be next threatening the local bait shops because they are giving out too much info???
its like a select group that is trying to keep 6th st. dam a secret:lol:
...
i dont know about you but in the 2nd most populated city in the state, you have to expect that "spot" to "grab" some attention...
anyways i respect what the admins and mods want to maintain as status quo...
its not my website and they put in the hours to keep it up and running...
cya on the river,
mark
