I'm going to work on a new section for the site that is sort of a Hall of Fame for great posts. It could be an instructional post, a great fish story, something that was really funny, etc. I'd like to hear your nominations for great posts from the past.

If you have any favorites, please reply to this thread with a link to the post.

To get the link, go to the post you want to nominate, then click once with the left mouse button in your browser where it shows the link like

http://www.calfishing.com/dc/dcboard....... etc

Then right click on the highlighted text and click copy. Then compose your post and right click in the message and click paste to paste in the link.

You'll have to open up more than one browser window if you want to search the old posts in one window and compose you reply to this post in another window. To bring up a new internet explorer window, click at the top on 'File', then click on 'New' and then 'Window'. Or hit Control N on your keyboard.

If you are having a hard time using the search feature on the forum to find what you are looking for, click on advanced search. In advanced search you can search for a few words and check the box that says to search for them in terms of 'and' instead of 'or'. If you search for the words with the 'and' search logic it will search for all of the words together. If you search with the 'or' it will find all of those words even if only one of the words is present in the post. For example, searching for mexico fishing trip with the or logic will find every post with the word fishing in it. Pointless. Searching for that with the and logic will check for posts that have all 3 of those words in the post. Even better is to pick unique words, like if you knew the post you are looking for said Ensenada in it, search for Ensenada Mexico trip.

Thanks and let's hear your favorites!

Well I'm sure when this thread comes to an end, this will be my favorite :-)

But until then, here's my all time favorite:

You know you fish too much when...

And here was a follow up by Rob's Wife. Foofisher's reply was classic!

I have a lot of favorites, but this one in particular wreaks of Calfishing. Informative, innovative, and thought provoking.

I agree with John the castaic trout post was very informative especially with its use of diagrams etc..brian

Here are a few of my favorites from the past.

CJ's generic swimbait 101 post - great photos and instructions

How about when Jed Dickerson got the 21-11 at Dixon. Lots of excitement going on there

Or when Nico got his PB, a 14-6 football

How about Brian #1's PB at casitas. I was big time stoked for Brian that day, you should have heard him on the phone after he got it

Dang I'm feeling all nostalgic now :)

I like the ones about swimbaits, just don't type "swimbait" and hit search :o

One of my favorites that comes to mind is when Rob,Chris and Nico got into an epic night bite and landed 30+ fish over six pounds,all in one month. The first night alone was over 51 pounds for the best five fish, truly a bite of a lifetime. I couldn't find the post while I was searching, possibly because the thread took an ugly turn towards the end, if I remember correctly.

Anyway, just one that comes to mind.

Heres the link from the Slammer site..
