Why can’t I find the right articles on this site?

[Jason476]

I just joined this site and I need your help. When I have a question about bass fishing, I’ll type it into google and I’ll often get a link to bass resource with a post that was already answered about that topic but when I search this site I can never find the article. Ex I type in google “best line size for Texas rig” and I’ll see a link for bass resource to a forum answering that exact question. But when I’m on bassresource.com and type on the same question in the search, I can’t find that thread. Please advise

The Google search engine is much better than the key word search that the bar uses!!##

Very top right search field searches the articles. 

 

The search bar a little above the RageTail logo searches the forums.  It's beneath the article search field.

 

hint: quotations are your friend.  e.g.

 

best line size for Texas rig

and

"best line size for Texas rig"

will yield different results.

 

Hope that helps!

Jason, let me tell you a short story that parallels your problem on why you can't find the correct thread.

 

There was a guy from California who never seemed to get things right.  One day, he was in his car and he could go left or right at the traffic light to get to work. So he went right and got hit by another vehicle.

 

Then, when it was time to go home he got to the elevator on the 20th floor and it was broken so he had to walk down twenty flights of stairs. This really put him in a bad mood.

 

On his way home he saw a travel agency and decided to change things and take a trip to Australia. He went in and got his trip planned.

 

While flying over the Pacific to Australia the pilot asked for a few volunteers to parachute out of the plane as the engines were not working correctly and the pilot wanted to shed a few pounds. So the guy volunteers.

 

After he jumps he pulls the rip cord and nothing happens. He then pulls the emergency rip cord and nothing happens.

 

While he is falling he looks up and says, "God, why do all these things happen to me?"

 

And out of the blue a voice replied back, "Because you tick me off."

 

Just thought I would share this story and I know you can understand how it applies to your situation.

 

Give it time and keep searching and everything will work out on the Forum for you.

 

Happy New Year!

Welcome to the OP and a big thank you to Glenn for the tip. There is a “how to correctly spool a spinning reel” article I’ve been trying to find without success.

Thanks for all the help guys. I realized that after you search something to click the link that Says “search comtent titles” I’ll often find what I’m looking for. I grew up saltwater fishing on Long Island but have Been bass fishing for 2 years now and am 100% addicted. Glad to see there are many more like me out here.
