Every time I go out fishing, I bring a big garbage bag with me to collect any junk I might come across. I always take back more than when I came. I encourage anyone that I give a spot to, to do the same. There are so many different places to go, all have
their problems. That doesn't stop me from telling others where to go, how to fish, the right time to go. So, there is a crowd..so what?
If you want solitude, climb back into bed. I don't think you guys "get it". You want it all for yourselves. Maybe that isn't such a bad thing. Ya, I want it all for myself. Sorry, I don't think that way.
I'm sorry to hear that you have had bad experiences at some of "your" spots. Maybe if more "spots" were posted and "exposed", "the gang" wouldn't "crowd" one particular "burned" spot.
You say some spots can't "take the pressure" of additional persons fishing there. OK, well if theres a crowd, and you don't like it, go somewhere else.
I've been lucky enough to enjoy striper fishing for 40+ years. I've always tried to help others and give information freely. When there is a crowd, I'm always happy to see fishermen enjoying their favorite pastime. And, if it is at a place that I might have let some of them know about, that makes me extra happy.
Some "secrets" are worth sharing, with all.
Do you think all internet fishermen are irresponsible? I don't think so. I think many more appreciate it when a knowedgeable
fisherman is willing to share his years of experience with others in the spirit of sportsmanship.
