My reasons for reducing the reports I share on BFT was because of the lurking issue.
My twin posted a few pics of brown trout on a beach, no backgrounds. A few replies mention trying night fishing for browns with red headlamps. A few more replies later and its mentioned that the weber is the place to try that. The next day at a department store a guy asks for help to find red headlamps, and my twin asks, "by chance did you read BFT?" Why yes he did. He claimed he was headed there that night to try, so did my twin.
So how many other department stores did other people buy red headlamps, and head out to the weber that night, that week, that month? It's mind boggling how many probably did!! Sure enough that guy got a 24 inch brown that night, my twin got skunked.
I also have people shake my hands in the fish shops and they claim they "follow my every step" after each report I post. The "cult like following" is ok for places that are large and can handle it.... but do I need or want to add to it?? And not every place I visit can handle the pressure BFT will create.
These are just a few of many examples that I have to illustrate my point.
Private boards exist on almost every fishing website in Utah and I feel that BFT deserved one years ago. The majority of the time I will post on the main boards but there are a few times that it will be and has been more appropriate to share it on a private board.
