Bad season or bad forum?

Post by Mattblack » Fri Jan 10, 2020 9:15 am

So what's going on gents?
Have people been struggling this season, or have people just stopped posting reports?
Where have all the good contributors of the recent past gone....have they given up on fishing or just given up on the Fishing Victoria Forum?

Between work, family commitments and weather I've found it hard to get out. Have done ok when I have, but I have to confess I cant be stuffed posting anything on here anymore...but I certainly commend all the contributors that still do!
Wonder if Barra Mick, Nudeup & Scott Henning might start posting Kingfish reports again soon....that always used to fire me up

The forum relies on members to keep it alive, which also means posting about something fishing related occasionally. :tu:

There are only a handful of you keeping this site alive. The obvious problem is that the site lost its personalities and regular contributors.
I'll be honest, I'm getting better info and feedback from other forms of social media and tend to contribute more on these.
