It's not indecent. What was word of mouth in the past how become World of Blab on the internet. There are no secret places. They have been fished for generations. What may be "secret" is the thrill of working an area and finding out when , where, and how. That is the attraction. When I started about 12 years ago, I went to a seminar at the old Perry's Boat Yard. A talk was given by a member of the Cape Cod Salties. I forget his name now. He told the beginners to get a road Atlas of the Cape and hit the places you can get access for; those places that look fishey. Like the Nike ad, "Just Do It.".
So I just did it.Not too well, but it has been fun. There were jerks around then, and always will be. I have some frustrating memories of yo-yos coming up on our group at the canal and tosssing lines over us as we fished at the canal edge. Jerks without a clue. No internet then, all word of mouth, or from a bait store. Legal fish were 36". With the explosion in interest, the Moron Population has gotten bigger . Do you blame anyone who has invested time and money to drive a distance to the Cape to learn the sport to become an open book of locations and timing? How about the guys who live down there and have put in countless hours to learn?
I had a few days off and went to a spot. I didn't think the fish would be there in great numbers. I did want to check it out for future reference. I spent time and money to do this. It is part of 'paying the dues." If I did hit the bonaza, I would tell a few people I know and trust because they also pay their dues. Otherwise, nothing.
