It gets a little better when more of us are actually fishing, it's the wrong time of year right now. I actually find it a little less "cliquey" and a lot less negative than iceshanty. (Not that folks on iceshanty are inherently negative but ice fishing is a more limited activity so people get more defensive of their locations and such.) You won't see any arguing over locations/gear/safety on myfishfinder and you'll see different people chime in besides the 10-15 regulars on here.
