i dont put my skunks up but i go to castaic as much as i can. im on banks though and at lagoon i dont think i can get deep enough in my light gear i take on motorcycle. and the upper is always a pain from the shore at this time of year. as soon as it warms up hopefully the fishing will be on for me again. well soon the fishing will be turned on everywhere. i still go when its tough because you can catch some monsters when its cold if you get lucky.

Inshore saltwater is really good ... 1 angler... less than 3 hrs ... 20 sand/calico bass 2-4 lbs class ... NO KOOKS ... awesome days! anything 40++ feet of water over some structure ... All plastics with needle to fizz fish! Pretty much anywhere along the SoCal coastline is good right now. Be respectful to others and enjoy yourself!Originally Posted by Ssortasober
I too have noticed how slow things have gotten around here. I do surf the other fishing websites on Facebook where several former loud mouths on here went. I was accused of having an IQ of 100 around here by a long time member. (which is ok) But when I make comments on the Facebook fishing websites, I'm truly the smartest guy in the room!!! FNN from a standpoint of reports and knowledge is on a college level. Facebook fishing websites on the other hand are written to the level of about a 4th grader's level minus the pictures. It's not as if there isn't any knowledgeable people on there. Boat owners and Captains are on there and even my "nemesis" the former editor of W.O.N. is there.
Which brings up the point I want to make. The Editor of W.O.N. in his editorials was a Russ Limbaugh clone. Saying things like the Heartland of America is where the true sportsman live and work. Excuse me, but I'm a "Californian" and proud of it!!! Maybe though (cat break) Zoey jumped on my lap.
I'm back
Maybe the Editor of W.O.N. was on to something. He felt the people most interested in Hunting & Fishing have a Conservative leaning in their politics. If that is the case, the best environment for them is for the Dems to control things so they can complain about everything but not have to offer any real solutions.
If you buy that argument, it's all "Obama's fault" this website is slower then it use to be. How can it be Obama's fault when he is no longer President???? Exactly!!!! He is no longer President, we now have President Trump. Other then him goosing the economy (he did hurt California) how can you defend Trump??? You really can't and other members know this and left or greatly reduced their participation on here.
What does that have to do about fishing and fish reports you might be wondering??? Politics do work their way into fishing reports and discussions. (that's just human nature) People also don't like to be embarrassed!!! So if you ever said things politically on here or even hinted at it, which many members did. Where are you now with Trump??? He's pretty hard to defend!! So it's just easier to reduce your participation on this website instead!!!
That's just my opinion, but if you go back and see when Trump got elected. I bet you can see a slow down in the activity on here from then on.

Facebook pretty much IS for adolescence type mentality and for people over 70 years of age! Just saying.
That is the competition for FNN!! Let's do a Rebirth of FNN and start writing up more of peoples fishing adventures. I'll be writing one this week, I encourage other to do the same!!!Facebook pretty much IS for adolescence type mentality and for people over 70 years of age! Just saying.
The state of pay to fish lakes along with the lack of trout stocks has had an affect on the contributions to this page also. Many of the more seasoned anglers don't really enjoy the social network side of fishing. Seasoned is a code word for older by the way. Also on the other end of the spectrum is the younger anglers that FNN is kind of a dinosaur to and they use other sources for communication.
Everybody tries to make more of it than it really is, times are a chang'n and while I don't always like the changes there ain't much we can do about it. Besides it's much better to actually go fishing than it is to read about it on the Internet.
OK, reality check, Part 1. Let us begin.
Wow, and modest too!
College level? 4th grader's level? I think it's a mix of both, depending on who's opening their mouth.
Wait, you brought Obama in the mix? This has NOTHING to do with Obama, unless DockRat, HawgzLoco, or Devore had posted something in this thread in order for you to retort. But how on earth do you bring Obama into the mix? Jesus on a christ.
Exactly, eTucks. Then why even bring him up?!
Nobody is wondering, but please enlighten us, IQ 100:
Gen Disc is down there, eTucks. Nobody brought politics onto this thread until you did.
Trump? Go check on who brought politics first onto the thread.
Thanks, Tucks. You're better off giving us reports on Wolford than opening your mouth about politics outside the GenDisc thread. You've become the Reverse DockRat, without even knowing it.
What's the answer's then???
I gave the "copy from the winners answer." Western Outdoor News is by far the most successfully Hunting & Fishing Publication in the Southern California area. I'll even quote Deve for this answer. Hillary got an over whelming amount of her votes for President from Southern CA. Yet W.O.N. panders to the "Hard Right" in politics to their sportsman audience. Are they stupid??? The majority of Southern CA voters voted for Hillary, yet they come off as an Russ Limbaugh protege. I trust them to have done their research and realize the sportsman that comprise their target audience are predominately Hard Core Conservatives.
Now back to this same question that keeps getting asked on here.
What happened to all the Fish reports and general fishing discussions that use to be on here all the time. My answer is, "the people started leaving when Trump got elected President." (which then caused a chain reaction of people leaving) Those Conservatives on here no longer felt comfortable because the only people who were left were Progressives, middle of the roaders and Independents. Not the old guard who were mostly Conservatives!!! (Birds of a feather do like to flock together.) But when the old guard felt they flew like Eagles on here, now there is only Turkeys left behind, so they all bailed on this web site.
That is just my opinion but why not just ask the people themselves, on why they don't post fish reports on here anymore. Someone who chimed in today, use to post a lot of fish reports in the past. In checking the record, he hasn't posted one since last March. (I wonder why???)
