Dave - people think you suck...


One thing I hate is that the maggies (and some sites and people) focus so much on spots spots spots followed with reports and reports. Obviously, that is where there bread and butter readership drives them to, but rarely does a proctectionist mentality creep into the articles.

How many articles have you seen that the author says access is private or cutting through yards?

It is one thing to show someone you trust HOW to quietly and respectfuly access an area, especially private, it is quite another to post about accessing a place that is mostly private with little proper public access and get people all juiced up to get into a place. Then some of these people, not courteous of the area, go an eff it all up making noise, leaving trash, cutting through yards.

I can honestly say, and we'll use "Q" for an example, that the amount of traffic across private land to access a public space is ruining it just as fast as the excessive traffic that can be read online, in the mags, or at the local baitshops. If you go to "C" you don't need to violate any of that but at "Q" you do. So when/if we lose "Q", who is at fault?
