Welcome to the site Machine! Nice looking fish there - glad to have you aboard

Hey Pro Members - You will notice a small addition to the home page of LOU currently. The entire leaderboard for the LOC derby (up to the second) is displayed just above the Calendar Quick View. The LOC leaderboard will stay up for only for the duration of the tournament and then will be taken down. We encourage all LOU members to participate in the LOC derby. If you haven’t already, sign up today! We also encourage all LOU members to sign up for a Pro Account and help support the site. For those of you who are already Pro members, enjoy the newest benefit of the LOC Leaderboard right on the homepage of LOU! Thanks – Chad

Glad you found us John! Its a great group of guys/girls here and I'm sure you will fit right in Enjoy the LOU!

Commodore - Sometimes its a good idea to consider a charter. This will show you the who, what's and where's for the fish you seek and then you can duplicate the methods learned on your own boat. Consider booking the charter early in your trip and then you will have the rest of the time to try it with your own boat. My recommendation would be to talk to the guys at the TI Bait Store. They will give you good insight into what has been working lately. Lastly, KEEP READING LOU! I'm sure there are guys on here that could give you more direct advice. Best of luck on the trip! Chad

Bouks - welcome to the site! Glad you finally found us - sit back, relax and enjoy your stay now. We got a great bunch of guys here always willing to talk and help. Cheers Chad

Welcome aboard Pop-Pop! We are glad to have you and happy to hear you enjoy the site. Its a great community so sit back, relax and enjoy your stay

Sure thing guys. Like I said, we are just testing this out for now to see how LOU members like/dislike it. I could already see future uses for it (i.e., introduce yourself forum and classifieds forum) should the feedback be positive enough to keep the idea around.

Rick - Got this camera last year and couldn't be happier with it. http://www2.panasonic.com/consumer-elec ... 0000005702 Takes amazing photos, image stabalizer and HD videos. Very easy to use and was rated highest by consumer reports at the time of my purchasing. I think I found it for $300 somewhere - browse around if your interested. Be sure to read the reviews of it on the link above there. Hope this helps. Chad

Hey LOU, One thing that I have been working on lately for LOU is the introduction of forum templating for new posts. I will be testing this out in the Fishing Reports forum. The main idea behind it is to give users an outline (template) when they select "New Topic" in the Fishing Reports forum. The template will pre-populate the message body with fishing report questions where the user can simply fill in the information as it pertains to their most recent trip. The template is just an option and users can always just delete the template text and write their report as normal. The purpose of the template is to provide a checklist of information that our members will be interested in knowing about your fishing trip. This will really help to capture all the details and provide for a much richer post. This is our beta test of the new feature so let us know your thoughts and if you have any additions you would like to see added to the current template. Select NEW TOPIC and then PREVIEW POST to see the template as it would display on the site under the Fishing Reports Forum. Thanks in advance - Chad

Nice pics Jeremy - that same ship passed right by us (Rebel) during the Wilson Scotty as well. Not use to seeing those ships in so tight being from Rochester.

Great fish Mike! Thanks for sharing

Nice report Rob! Love the pics - glad to see you had yourself a good extended weekend out there!

Welcome to the site Tom. Glad to have you aboard!

Rick - take the rest of the day off and go fishin'. Happy birthday buddy!

Hey Choo-Choo, If the whole photobucket thing is too complicated, then try our other (much simpler) method of posting picture. Above the text box that you type in to post a message you will see a link that says "Add image to post". Simply click that link and select your file. Once you select your image file select "Upload It" and then it will be posted to your message automatically. Give it a try and let me know if you still have troubles! Remember that bigger pictures will take longer to upload. Thanks! Chad

Welcome Mars! Lots of good info here. Glad to have you aboard

Welcome to the site Wood! Sit back, relax and enjoy your stay
