For years I've spent most of my summers haunting and holidaying in Guileen in East Cork even became one of the locals. The saddest thing I saw down there was old timers taking secrets to their graves with them. I said years ago I would never end up like that.
This site is my outlet to helping other angler’s improver their angling skills. We have a lot of "international match anglers" who are members on this site that wouldn't bother their ass to help out other anglers.
A shower of Prima Donnas, Jess us what are they afraid of you still have to go out and catch the fish.
I have never refused an angler with help and have gone out of my way to supply maps and gps numbers to help put them on fishable marks. I have 938 posts in shore angling q/a there are very few of them when I've asked for help in an angling spot. You can add 29 pages of PM's to that.
While Facebook and blogs are all the rage there are for the limited few, this site is constantly evolving with new members logging in gather the help they need, some will put up a few post and then move on others will stay a bit longer. This is sad I believe all members who get their angling off the ground on the site should be willing to put back in as much as they take out. Now while saying this there are plenty who do contribute to help the new posters. There are some great posters who have never let the site down with their reports and are always a great read. I'll will have to say I have not been putting in the reports a often as I used to.
There were some great posters on here a few years back that for one reason or another stopped poster. As a Mod I can see they log on now and again just to see what’s happening. If you are reading this and you are one of these lost souls then start posting again and don’t take your angling knowledge to your grave with you.
This site has to survive if only to help new anglers into the game.
