No Rob. I like the Barni schiest and fishing tips on calicos, halibut, the pictures etc. You always seem to add to it. In my opinion, that stuff is integral. The message boards do take a massive majority of the hits but the rest of the site is what makes calfishing.com calfishing.com. Revamping is OK but removing your site's character is bad!

I agree. While we regulars may not look at that other stuff on a regular basis it's what drew me to the site and I'm sure it's had an effect on all new visitors. The message board is a huge chunk of the site but I think it works great as it is.
And Rob... I know exactly what you mean about stagnate. It's tough not to want to work on your site and change things for the better, etc. - especially with such a successful site as yours. I go through that all the time with my sites.

Rob, Keep in mind that a lot of folks who are looking for "calico bass fishing in california" are just starting out. This site is one of the only ones that offers some good info for those who are just getting started in stuff like sandies, calicos, halibut, etc. It's also nice to be able to point people to the articles who ask a question about halibut on plastic on the boards. If you ditch the articles, we'll get a lot more people asking stuff on the boards which were in the articles, and I like it how it is right now, where we can point em to the article, and then maybe they'll try it out, come back and ask a more refined question. It keeps the board flowing. -Brian

I more or less agree with the majority on this one Rob. The site provides a great source of information for newbies and forigners internationally as well. I have referred many fellow tubers to your site for the information privided within, not just for the great personal opinions on the message boards. Keep the info and continue to make improvements and tweaks when needed. It's a great site. Keep up the good work.

Rob, What I read on the msg brds are the opinions of "others". The content of the articles is mostly "Rob" and that is what makes this site yours. "Msg brds only" alters the identity of the site. Fresh articles would enhance the site, as would updates to the existing ones.

Rob there are a few massive things you could tackle if you wanted to. My ideas are more database intensive than CGI oriented however.... Creating searchable and browsable databases for some "things fishing" would be VERY cool.
An example of what I'm thinking of is: "Fishing spots in California". Imagine an image map that links say marked spots along the Santa Barbara County coastline to lists of and statistics for fish caught there...along with dates, baits used, etc. It would effectively be a graphically oriented web-based person independant fishing log. You also could require valid account status to post to it.
That would be very cool IMHO. If you like this idea but want help with it, I might be able to help out starting this summer...but don't hold me to it! =P
