fishing reports.

[onerabbit]

If you can find a report that is relevant to your local area,
it's a good thing.

It does get a bit tedious reading reports from out of my area unless it's a good story, pics are great.
If I have had an average day, just a fish box pic is good enough, but special fish deserve a photo.

I like to read the reports also,the ones with pics usually have the edge.But not real flash about pics of 50 dead fish on someones back lawn.Prefer shots of fish fresh caught with all the colouring bright...magic.

The large majority of the guys that post up a report make it a real pleasure to read, pics enhance my enjoyment.
It's great to read the reports from guys who travel far offshore in beautiful big boats, as well as just from the young fellas fishing their local river etc.......it's all fishing and it's all good!
Cheers.

Looks like you need to add a few extra options to the poll. I also only read reports from the areas I like to fish, or if they are from ausfishers I know.

[Synful]

Yeah I read the reports as well but I agree that ones with photos definitely have the edge

[PinHead]

I am the same as Cheech..areas I fish and from people I know.
The long ones I just keep moving on...not interested in reading a long winded report that really has no bearing on the report itself.

I read reports of places I have and do fish. More importantly where Im going to fish. What I do like are MAPS !!!!!!They rock. Im not after GPS's or anything like that. areas that show what fish are bitting so its easier to target. If an area is showing Macs then I'll rig up a little heavier etc..

How often are they posted/available??...I'd be keen to hook up with some of those babies, that would make life so much easier!

I tend to read as many reports from area's I fish or may fish, picks are great especially of the best ones caught on the day. Some guys make a real effort to make the reading entertaining, those guys can write as long as they like as it is entertianing. I am a fan of putting as much detail as possible on times, rigs, baits, lures etc. That way there doesnt have to be 15 posts by the rest of us asking (what lure were you using).

One Thing That Really Irritates Me Is Capital Letters Used At the Start Of Every Word.

I get half way through the first sentence and exit the page!

I don't expect secret spots to be devulged but a generic area would be nice, something like...... "Lower streatches of Maroochy river" or "Murphy's"

I like to read reports ...... specially if they are about a destination or species that I am interested in

Pictures make a report IMO ........ & I've seen some crackers on here

I've also found that some authors write really well ..... & an average trip can still make a really good read

Keep em coming I say

I voted for 'I read the reports.'

[Scott nthQld]

I read most, if not all the reports, but am getting a bit tired of bream reports.....there's just been so many of late. I like a report to have a story behind it, to make an entertaining read. I don't just want to hear where people were fishing and what they caught, but about the whole day, any mishaps that could be funny. I don't read a report just to see whats on the bite and where, I like to feel like I was there too....at least thats what I try to convey when I put a report up.

Pics are a bonus, but a good story is what its really all about IMO

The only regular one I see is in the Sun in Townsville, it can be a little off sometimes (as far as I can prove. and obviously once it goes to print sometimes whats to be had is over)

[Scott nthQld]

Pridey, Have you seen the maps available on the Townsville Bulletin Website? Its got where to fish and what to target for around the Palms, Maggie, Clevelang Bay and Bowling Green Bay. They've been very helpful to me, and the Marks they give out are a very good starting point for you to find your own new ones.
