I think that's a valid point. You see a fraction of the people out there now compared to 10 years ago.

I also think information is so readily available on FB that a lot of these new age fisherman see no point in coming here. All they need is a real time pic and off they go. Drives me insane - no one reads, logs, skunks,etc because they can find where the fish are without actually putting in any work.

I'm one of the younger members on here, but I respect the people on here and I will always be appreciative of the friendships I've made because of this site. I've also learned more from this site than probably anywhere else. I will always come to this site, because like someone stated earlier, real fishing conversations take place here. I also think that this site has the greatest concentration of highly skilled anglers anywhere. Again, I'll always be here...

I think a lot congregate at the canal; there are certainly less guys fishing though. I was at my local lighthouse last week on a nice night at dusk and beyond. After the lone scupper left at dark I had the run of the point. In June. Not the first time that has happened this year. Go figure...
