[bobabouy]

saw it posted on another site;) ,ocean fish most likely:D ,light colored,

Bob we do not tolerate negativity in other barners fishing reports, try and keep it positive or to your self.

[igoblues]

Nice fish George.
Did you get the money?

[zcap1956]

nice fish!

[eelball]

saw it posted on another site;) ,ocean fish most likely:D ,light colored,wood have been nice if it had a chance to produce:(


It did produce!! :D 2 nice meals:D

I also think your 100% wrong. Its a holdover. Probably wintered in a hole with hundreds of other bass.

Thanx everyone.

[MargaritaVille]

eelball, Beautiful Fish.

eelball, Beautiful Fish.

LOL, your funny. It's obvious you put this here so I can see how witty you are with that signature.
Kinda like when you made believe you won the lottery.

No Eel, I didn't but thanks for being observant.

Not much else to say when you put up a nice picture that someone else hasn't already said. I could have bashed you like the guy before me, but I don't believe it to be a ocean striper either nor do I care. The other guy was trying to get a rise out of you.

The lottery was a gag for everyone. Did anyone get hurt? Nope. Did alot of people have fun with it???/ Yep.

[LOOPY64]

Nice fish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[upchuck]

Nice catch Eelball -keep on posting.:D

[Keeper Seeker]

:( When envy turns to jealousy and rears it's ugly head it is not a pretty sight....:o eelball, that is a beautiful fish. Yum Yum. ;) I must admit I am a little envious... Wish I could be out there bringing home dinner but don't have the time right now. This spring pattern and my schedule don't mesh very well.:(

Water off a ducks back bud.... Nice fish!:)

[sweet release1]

keeper seeker right on bro , you nailed it on the head!! it has been that way on hear for about three years,thats why guys like me and loosedrag and most of the people who use to report do not anymore. we might put up a report every now and again , but we always leave out things we think might get people up our a88 so to speak.facts are we catch alot of fish , but we put in our time too. guys like eelball might put in hours a day to get those fish, it is hard work.it's so bad on hear that i even put the fish we get ,as lighter then they are.just so no one jumps on me about what it weighs.see where i'm going with this. so ya i really feel what eelball is saying ,it just gets too much to keep posting and have all kind of people jump on you for what ever reason!!! eelball you have showed me alot bro and you were there when i got some nice fish ,and i feel you are right with this. it is hard to deal with all this s** sometimes.we are all fishermen why in the hell are we rippin into each other ,makes no sense. for now i will keep posting on hear ,why not i could care less what some ass who never catches a thing has to say about me!!! ,matt

[RodFather]

bobabouy check my comments in your first post in this thread.

For everyone else lets keep it positive. The guy catches a nice bass and should not get criticized in any manor. We will not allow any negativity in any fishing report.

Sweet,
can you elaborate????

[sweet release1]

Sweet,
can you elaborate????
not really sure what you want? if you mean you, well no you have never been an issue until now:D lmao. what i mean is the steady down grade of the reports. you have been around long enough to know things have changed. in the old years we really never saw people going after people this bad,maybe one or two then, but seems alot more now!! my reports are always preread over twice or three times to make sure i have not givin anyone a chance to jump on me about givin up a spot and so on. now i'm not perfect but i try;) .that being said, this year i'm gonna fish hard, most legal fish will go home with me ,i don't care about mercery , i don't care about if i hurt anyones feelings , i don't care if you think i'm wrong about something, and i don't care if this is banned from the barn.i'm going back to what i came here for years ago "the fun of it". so if you hate me or my friends for catchin most of the fish too bad it happens:eek: . i do not need a website to tell me i'm doing alright, i already know!!! when i say you, i do not mean you margaritaville, i mean everyone that is on this site.i have come hear for years but come less offen now and most of the guys that made this site years ago are long gone, nuff said. , matt

[MargaritaVille]

Sweet,
I hear ya. I was just curious on your first post.
I am still 100% barn. This place is a good outlet for newcomers. Although I don't post alot of fish reports, don't think for one minute that I don't have a line in the water and fillets in the frying pan.

While most guys are bitching about fish, I have been bringing in resident stripers all winter long with a few big enough to keep.

Just remember it is winter time. Every year at this time it gets crazy. There is a reason why you and I and alot of others come back to this place.

Soon the sun will be shining and the water temps will have the bass hungery.

Until then we trudge through the BS on the barn and every now and then we piss off without intention
