I haven't given out any specific spots, just generalizations. The places I like to fish can be crowded at times, at other times they aren't crowded at all. Also, I have never called anyone any derogatory names, and never will. Every fisherman has their favorite locations. All I'm saying is that if a person wants to give a location to the internet community, it should be OK to do so. I haven't found it particularly difficult to catch fish. You use a fishing pole, a reel, some line, a hook, a sinker, some bait (dead or alive) or a lure of some type.
How hard is that? I guess some people find it very difficult because some people fish for years without catching a thing.
All I have to say to them is look for moving water and holes.
And, fish at night when you can. And lastly, don't expect to catch alot of fish (you might though). You might have to fish several hours for one bite, or you might catch a large on your first cast. If you are impatient, take up a different recreation.

The people I really respect on here are the artists and lure makers/fishermen, those are some talented individuals . I makes some of my own lures during the off season. I'm no artist, but my creations catch me some nice ones now and again. I'm not a rich man, I can't afford fly fishing trips to MV or Nantucket. I fish the cape and south shore. I don't own a 4wd or do I care to. I fish as hard as the next guy, maybe harder.
I get my share of fish during the season and every minute I spend I thoroughly enjoy. My brother owns a 21 foot boat, we go out to the islands, Cape Cod bay and Narraganset bay several times a year and take a few trips to Plymouth. It's not difficult to catch fish, you just need the right tools, time and tides. If your not willing to fish when the fish are there, well you'll never catch anything.

Is it indecent to share spots with the internet community? I guess you guys think so. I'd like to think that the internet community is a better group of persons than what you guys have led me to believe.

Now get out there and catch some fish
