I ask the community to forgive me for suggesting to Davis that a possible reason the community was not in on this thread was because of his promotional avatar.Davis Battah wrote:Well........
Interestingly enough, it's been suggested to me by fishhawk that this post my have died immediately after my posting as the result of the members of the board "shunning" me in a group effort because of my Avatar.
Having joining this forum in February, apparently the same month these rules were established, the list of rules went un noticed by myself. My fault for not investigating the site and the rules governing it yes..... but shunning me because of my Avatar?!I now understand what Richard Collin was referring to when he changed the signature in his posts to say "To those that my avatar bothered, get a life!"
I simply was trying to share some tips and show a photo of a nice fish..... from my website counter, apparently people were interested in the photo as that single url page on my site received close to 100 hits from this site alone. Remember, I tried to post the picture in this forum first, and even fishhawk does not know why it isn't working.
If fishhawk is correct and this post died as a result of a mass group shunning effort....I'm amazed..... People, get over yourselves!!!!
Fishhawk and Bobber, my apologies for breaking the rules of your forum, it was not done intentionally and was simply out of my ignorance. However, participating in a forum that appears to be so "clique" is not very desirable to me.
This will likely be my last post here. Best of luck with your site and all of your future endeavors.
Regards,
Davis Battah
I have no idea why no one else posted to this thread. I was reacting in a petty manner towards an avatar and trying to make a point that the rules were developed with the consensus of the community.
The group of anglers that frequent Hawk Talk are by no means any kind of a clique that would shun a particular thread. In fact I imagine that most who read this thread are scratching their head and wondering "What the?"
I ask Davis to direct any further ill will towards me and not Hawk Talkers - they had nothing to do with this.
And Davis, thank-you for removing your avatar.

Davis, not sure that a comunity shunning was at work here???? 
I personally contributed to this thread on the 19th and this is the first time I've returned to it.
I never even noticed your avatar and I always look forward to reading your posts. You have a lot of great knowledge to share and I look forward to reading more of your future posts.

Pikers
One of my favourite fish:
I'd be checking out any weedlines early in the morning and in the evening.
Shouldn't be too deep just now; water is still pretty cool.
Look for little minnows jumping out of the water. Something is chasing them.
On a bluebird day, they, like anything else are hard to catch. If you have to fish in bright sun, work deeper in the weeds, but, there your getting into bass stufff at the wrong time of year.
Varying a retrieve works well. Nothing can outswim a pike, so slow, then go like hell...........then stop, let the lure fall..........hey you never know.
Just my .02
