No wonder there is no conversations on this site. No interactions with members...ask a question and somebody will direct you to a sticky....this forum has really went downhill..that's why I don't participate anymore..I'm sure there is no love lost on my part either but this use to be the best site with a lot of action good or bad.....boring
Why is s.c. the only site where we have sticky's

I think I am the one who made all those threads sticky. People asked me to do it on most of them, either in PM or on the threads themselves, and it made sense to me (especially the shark fishing one, that chit gets way old really quickly). Steve and others made some great contributions to the newbie thread. Since that one's area-specific, mostly to people who are just looking to wet a line on vacation, it really doesn't belong in the "Bible" on the main site. Sticky made sense to me.
It was my decision to sticky the one about beach access at Garden City. I did that because it was important to many of our people who enjoy fishing that stretch of beach, and there was info on there about who should be contacted to get the situation resolved. Also, that contact info might be helpful at a later date if something similar happens.
I guess the answer to the why is the SC board the only one is because I stuck em on here.

I agree with Skink and Bubba. Way too many people come here and ask the same question over and over again. We try not to be rude but they then they complain when no one replys. All they have to do is check the previous posts and answers will come. People today want quick answers and are lazy to do research to where they are going. I guess it's the computer age that these people want it now..... Too lazy to do for themselves and blame others when fishing stinks. I have learned a great deal here and am still learning. I also feel for the newcomer but a balance has to be met. Maybe a---- when you sign up you must read this to continue message---. Most people are super great buttttt along comes that person. I'm done for now. Let's go fishing. Will be back there in Sept.

I like the stickies and don't think there is anything wrong with it, but my 2 cents are forums are for conversation. The sport/craft/art of fishing is constantly changing and answers that were given two years ago are not necessarily pertinent. If people aren't interested in talking and helping other people learn, then maybe they should examine why they participate in forums. I do understand the frustration over posts that truly are repitive, and I'm with you with tourists asking about the bite when others have posted plenty of reports, but some people here are like broken records telling people to get lost. May as well lock the forum and put up a sticky that says use the search feature.
in the immortal words of atrie lang.....wwwwaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
I get loads of information out of this site and thoroughly enjoy it. check it almost daily. maybe they should add a sticky titled 'how to deal w forums you don't like". go to the beach and fish...its really not that hard to get a hook wet.

I also read the posts almost daily on this site. Everytime I come down and fish for a week or so, I always post something. Was just down in smoking hot July, and reported but not much going on. I enjoy reading posts from others and wish I was there. At least I can read about others fishing where I wish I was. The greatest advice to everyone is wet a line, and eventually you'll start to figure things out, advice is helpful, but you just need to do it. It sure beats work any day.:beer::fishing:

Feel free to spend your time typing the same answer to the same question week after week during tourist season, who never come back to the forum or even say thank you. It gets old.
I'm gonna have to disagree Smooth. While you may get 100 questions from tourists that ever say thank you or come back; how about the one kid or teen or even adult that joins and becomes a productive member. Maybe even a solid friend of yours one day. That one friend, to me, is worth all the meaningless chatter you have to weed out to find them.

You see I've had to teach smooth a couple things too.
I had to net his first big redfish for him too lol
I thought Stickies were for Attention Disorder Deficit or ADD or CRS board members, I forget things from time to time, like I forgot a month ago when all the hot chicks at the bar were all ignoring me because I was older and wearing a business suit and every one else in the bar was younger and dressed casual (The may have thought I was a Cop). I do not have a problem with Stickies and if Bubba put them there, well by gosh.... I think its a great idea
It is also called selective memory as in you remember only what you want or like when women bring up something they are really..really annoyed about one or two weeks later after it happened and they have fumed about it the whole time and catch you off guard when they spring it on you. Like you are putting your arm around her on a pleasant Sunday afternoon watching the kids at the Pool and just as you are thinking how lovely the evening is....... all a sudden a wailing Banshee is screaming why you kept eyeballing the hot waitress, when you and the Banshee had dinner at Applebees last Thursday of the week before bend over when she brought another round of drinks to your table...You may have that sight burned into your memory...but certainly you would never bring it up with the Banshee.......Banshee had that memory on a Stickie and she knew she was going to make you pay:redface:
I have learned some great things on this SC/GA board, like when to start thinking about Depends as a alternative to long walks to the pier house or topics like why Beach Life Guard Miss Hottie never has time to save old fat guys from drowning in a rip current, but can check her Twitter messages while applying more Hawaiian Tropic...
I am pretty sure the Sharks eat all your fish because Shark Fishing is banned in Horry County...If the Sharks felt they might bite into a big hook attached to 130 pound test line and an 80 wide perhaps they would leave your Trout/Spanish/Puppy Drum alone.

130 pound line to an 80wide?

I like that idea. A big circle hook stinging the side of a sharks mouth, reeling him in/whipping his a$$, and dragging that sucker out on the sand, for a picture, and turn him back to the surf, sounds like good shark repellent. Put some fear into these fish like a deer in the woods. Scared at the sight of a human. Out there telling all his friends. Lol. Oh, wait, it's illegal in Horry county. Don't want to scare the tourists.

+1 if I'm down there, I'll do the same, and if I am I'll buy him some lap dances from the strippers on the T at Springmaid, too.

No more fishing at Springmaid for many of us locals.
They have the absolute worst management nowadays.
$22 to kingfish now, no rope and no bait tank. Not to mention $5 to park.
Last time I was in Myrtle was about 19 years ago, fine town, pretty water. I did not have any fishing gear with me I was with the Ms. and she and I walked out on one of the piers, I think it had a deck on top of the T. There was a big white rope and a sign said only King Fisherman with a pass allowed beyond the ropes. At the time I was an undercover King Fisherman and while I had caught a few on the OBX, I was unfamiliar with the roped off area system. Also I was unfamiliar with the numbered PVC pipes screwed to the rail. I had just retired from nearly 20 years king fishing the OBX during a time when most of the pin riggers laid both the anchor and the fighting rod on the rail.
I also did not have a pass, so I strolled back inland, before I saw anyone get bowed up to anything.
I appreciate all the offers of drink and strippers, I am trying to be on Hatteras come fall, but I actually may be involved in a commercial real estate transaction in Horry County in 2017. So if I am down there I will let you know where I am at.
Any photos of these Spring Maid Strippers you mention?
Most Hotties that I am familiar with do not spend a long time out on the end of the Tee with the crusty fisherman, they just stroll out and after they have made sure every male with a pulse is aware of them, they turn around and strut back into land and safer climes.
