Dear Snaggedline members. The site has gone conspicuously quiet again. I recognize that fewer of our members have been fishing during the recent cold weather. Someone made a similar post to this one last year. Comments were made about more posts going on Facebook or other social media and fewer here. But in order to keep this site fresh and active, we need to maintain some degree of communications and posts, even in the off-season.
I fished five times during the last 10 days of December (4 times in the Severn and 1 time in the Magothy). My pickerel catches were way down from what I had been catching just a month before. I did not post because there was not much exciting about catching one or two pickerel in 2 hours of fishing while my hands were cold. Yet in order to keep interest in Snaggedline, there needs to be some ongoing series of new posts. I have noticed that during the past year, a large proportion of the posts or replies have been made by the same group of 25 to 50 members (myself included). I encourage more of you to make some posts or comment on another post.
For those of you who are fishing, how about putting up a short report. Even if you are fishing from the shoreline rather than a kayak, you can post in the General Forum. I suspect that some of you are working on modifications to your kayak during the winter. Don't hesitate to share what you are doing in the Drydock Forum. Most likely many of our members received new fishing tackle or even a new kayak from Santa. If you got something new, how about doing a product review. Or if you got something you don't like, you can try to sell it in the Tackle Shop Forum. If you have a fishing technique or a tackle rigging tip, please make a post about it so others can learn what you have done.
I put up a separate post that gives a review of my 2020 fishing year. I welcome others to do the same. Snaggedline has offered a unique and friendly place for discussing kayak fishing. I hope we can keep it going into 2021 and beyond.
