Rather than take the defensive, passive aggressive approach like our admin has taken, i have decided to message him directly. What a jerk. I'm starting to understand why ifish has 10x the traffic of this site even though this one has a nicer look and feel.
Listen guy. I'm not gonna give you a ton of $hit for this because as I said twice I’m sure this is a thankless job, that you probably do on your free time.
But your defensiveness is a pain in the ass to deal with. You asked for feedback. we gave it. You asked for more details, I gave that...
Happy to be more specific. I dont have a lot of time to dedicate to this so here are a few quick top of mind thoughts.
-If i want to discuss fishing in the tualatin river - perhaps a note about something i tried for targeting bass along with a question - should i go to "rivers and creeks"...

Plenty of bank access at fields bridge park. Just walk the paved paths that go along the river & you will see plenty of spots. I haven’t fished there much but I live walking distance from that park and take my kids bike riding through there all the time.
Spent an hour on the lower Tualatin again, almost at the mouth, throwing wacky rigged brown senkos on a weightless hook with my spin rod near the Pete’s mtn bridge. Very first cast , pulled in a little 10” smallmouth bass. He hit it while I was talking to my little son and I barely felt the...
I hit up Browns Ferry on Monday evening and pulled a little smallie out of there with a white trout magnet off the dock. Was casting upstream & twitch-drifting it past the dock along the near shore. That was my only bite in about an hour and a half.
