1. Be Aware- No Politics
Your politics are none of our business.  Our politics are none of your business.

3. Be Truthful
Yes, the perception of anglers is that we all lie.  We like to embellish the size of our latest catch, we might skirt around being 100% truthful on where we caught our fish to protect our spots.  Those are unavoidable and not grievous acts of dishonesty. If people spot the little lies, they will assume everything you say is a lie. Just be honest in the content you provide us and your followers.
4. Positive Attitude
The challenges of the world are hard enough.  We don't need to complicate it with negative attitudes.  Maintaining a positive and fun image is what our brand is all about.
