This was a fishing site years ago.
Turned into a political website for a bunch of years.
Now it’s a lottery/mega millions website

Yeah, that about gets it right. When I first joined about 20 years ago, there was a lot of good fishing discussion here. I enjoyed reading what people were doing, and throwing in a comment or post here and there when it seemed appropriate. Not any more. The site is now mostly a message board for about 20 or 30 long time members, with the weekend plans now typically having little to do with striper fishing, and of course the essentially irrelevant lottery postings. I’ve made an attempt over the past few years to revive striper fishing discussions, but there are too few fish and too few regular members now to get much going. It looks like it’s going to where surfcaster and reel time were before they both died.
But at this point, we’re headed back to moratorium conditions soon, so in the end, it won’t matter what people post; there won’t be any fish in a few years anyway, right?

Just the more reason why we should thank Redmond for keeping it UP. He's not blind, and the hope is always there I guess I'm not even sure how he covers the expense anymore, are any sponsors still active, in a sponsor-type-of-way$? (not a question, more of a statement)
In the meantime, I enjoy what little those that still post share with everyone...it's good to hear they're still out there somewhere. I don't really bother with fishing sites anymore, not sure if it's time-related or where my focus is these days, so yeah, coming here is more of a social thing with friends from the past then coming to learn something new.
I miss a lot of people, some of them gone, others moved away, some in different circles or stages of life...but as long as this window is open, I'll keep sticking my head in every once and awhile

Ditto.
Always viewed your posts as a level headed wise man. Well stated.
I have met most of my dearest life long friends here. Most don't fish anymore. Those that do have been moved from the surf to boat ownership and now strictly tuna. The new generation of "look at me and my "pro-staff" hero status on other social media platforms has taken away the core of why most of us fish
Physical situation has kept me out of the game past 2 years crushing my soul but I still thrive off of even the political and lottery stuff just to see that like-minded people are still alive and kickin and thinking about striped bass enough that they like me come here. Hanging on to what was and never will be again. Great poeple and a dying breed.

My focus on stripers at this stage of the stocks and my life, has to do with getting the wood to look like a nice catch. If the political forum was still up, i suspect it would be buzzing over whats happening in that arena. Nothing beats the old days, cook outs and fishing with friends, peeing my waders after a bassmaster joke down cape or getting some members out mid winter to join me for some holdover fishing. Last person out on my boat before i sold it was Goose and he thanked me for my boat handling skills after getting us back into westport river in 8 foot closely stacked standing waves. All the memories were good, well maybe Juls getting out her crap bucket and asking eyes forward in my old Lund might not have been all that memorable. Sharing cheap beers with friends at the annual TCTF at the vfw was always fun.

Yeah, the politics forum has mercifully been removed. I tossed one
post on a few years ago to see what would happen, and immediately
got blasted by three or four posters. JohnR did well to close it down.
