    Have You Ever Read A Barra Thread And Not Posted?

    Have you?
    I look at some of the threads, thousands of views, some times hundreds of posts, some time not.
    Are some of you guys reading, and not posting?
    Is it because you arent interested, its crap, you coudnt be botherd, you wont post for fear of some people shouting you down?

    Please, post, join in, add your 2 bits worth, not all posters here are the be all and end all, every one has a differant way of doing things, what have you got to say, what do you think, what do you want to say?

    cheers

    What a great thread this will become. I for one do spend a fair bit of time on this website. I do not post much at all in this Fresh Water Section. Now its not a personal thing dont get me wrong but i get fed up with the hooligans who turn it into pub talk. This a a forum not a chat site so if people need to chat amongst there friends and talk BULLSH** then get a msn account. I use this site for one thing and that is to learn, share experiences with other fisherman who like to do the same. I am sick of having to look through hundreds of posts just to find that a post with a bit of meaning. I am not scared of getting shut down cause i know for a fact that i can teach people many things that i have experienced on impoundment fishing. But i still have years of learning ahead. this is Just my opinion and why i dont put posts up. I dont see the need for me to Put a thread on how my weekend fishing went and to try and teach poeple what i am learning when it just falls down the list and a thread on Beer and Barra stays at the top of the list. As i say this is no need to be taken personaly but just answering the question to the above post.

    Cheers

    But as for barra fishing, some of you guys are waaaaay to self inflated. I get the impression barra fishing is turning into a nancy boy sport filled with people eating mung bean and alf alfa sandwiches on wholegrain bread after doing a morning routine of pilates.

    Real barra fishoes only have 2 choices for breakfast.................... Beer or Bourbon.

    Thank you, you have posted and contributed.
    Not all will post, I know that.
    Some will see it as beneath them (way to smart to answer that query), some couldnt be bothered (been there, done that), some wont post because their sponsors wont allow them ( thanks to Lyndon for that info).
    So that cuts out a small percentage of the viewers I see registered in a thread, waht about the rest?

    I'll often open a thread because of the tittle interested me an find the post had nothing to do with the title. Some do it to catch attention so people open it. The view count skyrockets when posters get involved in a discussion.

    Re: Have You Ever Read A Barra Thread And Not Posted?

    Thanks Chris, but what about the question mate.

    Does a barra thread grab your attention, ya read it, but wont add input because.......?

    Or no, a barra thread is just another thread, like where to buy reels from O.S. and its not adding to?

    So far theres 3 posters that I know, Ive seen around the traps, so to speak, but I dont see on the freshwater boards much, specially the barra chat?
    Why?
    Is there to much banter/crap/ useless chat?

    When I first looked at freshwater, I didnt add much, thought it was a bit of a 'closed house", with blokes heaps better than me posting.
    Yeah, well thats crap, we are all fishos, just jump in boys and gals!
