In my opinion the biggest problem is that most fisher people do not like sharing information. Nothing is stopping anyone from posting a report, but people are afraid of having their fishing spots and methods known too widely. it's not about camaraderie for most people. If I posted a report, I shared all kinds of information, much like etucker. I thought that's what the site was here for and I didn't notice my spots being deluged with lurkers and copycats. I am still that way. Not so for what I have seen from most others. Plus, I might say that I kept a few fish to eat, and would get blasted for that. And I was tired and had things to do. But I don't mind saying what I caught on what bait or lure, where and when I caught it. Fishing changes everyday anyway. If you aren't willing to share, there isn't much left to talk about.
Looking at the number of viewers, this section has far more than other sections, so no, I do not think politics is scaring people away.
