Striprman - I rest my case. You DON'T get it.

Yes, this site is about sharing knowlege and information to help people like you and me to catch more fish and to be better and more responsible anglers. Its not about saying go here and you'll catch a fish. Going by your rules, I should telleveryone about a place you walk a mile to get into, go thru what may or may not be R.O.W.s between peoples yards and get a bunch of people to share a spot that can park maybe 2-3 cars and handle 5-8 people. Would it be responsible for me to post this spot if I were slamming fish, then give directions, and have 60 people there on a weekend night? Littering beer cans, and lure boxes, leaving old bait on the rocks? Do you think it will be long before the local police are booting people or perhaps detaining people giving the 2 Mil landowner the benefit of the doubt?

Or maybe to go blab about someplace that is public access and see every cooler toting, alcohol swilling, littering person that doesn't respect what little access we still have go and ruin that too? There are major towns with remaing access to fisherman reconsidering whether or not to allow anglers to park and access places to fish because of litter, disrespect for the environment, overcrowding, and the like. Does our responsibility to share "SPOTS" over the Internet supercede our responsibility as respectful and good anglers to not overrun what a SPOT can handle?

What do you think is more important Striprman, puking fishing places on the Interent and overrunning places casuing further loss of access or helping people LEARN to figure stuff out by gaining experience, pointing people in the right direction, and being RESPONSIBLE to our sport and protecting what little we have left??
