Do Minnesotans hate the internet?

[Skipper]

Minnesota has the most registered anglers in the country, where is everybody!!!

Time to do some recruiting I think.

I know there are other forums, but they are not nearly as fun, or have as good of members.

As far as Ice Shanty, Minnesota is ice fishing capitol of the World!!! We should be better represented than we are.

I agree but it seems like all the other sites that I have found even if you peep a word of another web site you will be BANNED FOR LIFE so it is hard when you cant even get the word out I come on this site 100% of the time because it is just a great site even though no one is from the land of 10,000 lakes.

I agree, on those "other sites", they delete you for anything. You can at least speak your mind on here. If the members cant say what they think, what is the point of the forum?  Oh, I love the "pro staff" guys too, what a bunch of goofs. They pack in the ads, for sale posts everywhere, and when someone posts something really stupid, no one sets them straight, because you get deleted for flaming or criticising posts.

I like it just fine here, I just wish there were more of us.

[TJ Bauer]

Yea it gets kind of wierd talking about fish and lakes you dont even know but its still fun.

[Skipper]

I still lurk on those forums for ice conditions, events, and such. I rarely post, I just don't see the sense in it. One site in particular has a whole board for Mille Lacs, some of the things people post on there are so asinine. I live 10 minutes from Mille Lacs, I know the area, I grew up here. When someone gets on there and posts that the water is so low you cant launch your boat, and I know for a fact that there is WAY more than plenty, it makes me wonder. Ive seen a post on trout in the Rum River, give me a break! I make some circles with people who fish allot, people who aren't in a mental stupor, I think the Minnesota page has some serious room to grow.

I still get a kick out of these guys lingo though. They call the icehouse a shanty and the eelpout a burbot.

[TJ Bauer]

its pretty fun on here you can talk about anyhting a want and not get a warning for it. I have seen the same type of things posted about lakes in my area and about all you can do is laugh.
