surf fishing forum?

[PeteyHD]

I agree that simplicity is better, but the problem is a lot of other sites do not have very good variety. One stop shop fishing forums is not very common. There's the surf sites and then there's the boat sites and then there's the crappy kayak sites.

My personal opinion... Would be really nice to have a surf section and a kayak section. Would also bring a lot of guys from the crappy kayak site that crashes every few days and a lot of surf fisherman can focus on whats going on from land and not have to sift through posts from boats. A lot of guys just want to log into 1 site and maybe NJF can be that monster? Just my 2cents.

There an idea. A surf/kayak forum.

I don't do either, but would like to read reports

I surf/kayak fish often

We could always post and add to it

Bump it to the top

And in essence create a surf page by just adding to the original post

Gerry, I agree with keeping the forums simple. I am a novice surf caster but do enjoy the opportunity to run to the beach when I can in the early AM to see what I can catch when I'm at the shore house/camper LOL. It would be good (IMO) to see others who have greater experience on this board sharing techniques, lures, etc.on the board sharing. You have 12 forums now. I use @ 6 on a regular basis. This is another I would view during the "season" where I do fish the surf, probably just as Freshwater guys view that forum. It couldn't hurt to try it. If it fails as North/South was not popular, you close it down. May attract new life to the site in other forums..classifieds, recipes, tackle, etc...My .02

I surf fish early season until the boat gets wet and find myself checking other sites for tidbits of info. It would be nice to do it here as this is my go to site. These other sites are so hard to navigate that I usually say "screw it", and hope to see something on here. I know when Kmaty starts posting its time to hit the sand.

I don't post often, so my opinion really doesn't matter, but there is a certain environment or climate on this site that other pages seem to lack. It's a tighter knit group or community here. Too much drama and nonsense on the others.

85% of posts are boat updates, 15% of posts are surf fishing and other topics, i stopped checking on this site regularly for that reason, and of course it's obvious because of the season...

since fall / striper season, i've been routinely checking this forum and all i've seen were party boat posts, nothing against party boats, but i don't have the luxury of dishing out $60 bucks (plus tip) every fishing trip, let alone double that amount a trip on smaller charters. Yes, i get it, this is their livelihood, but I do agree that there should be a section for us surf guys.

A bag of clams and six pack under $20, and no time limit sounds like a better deal to me.
