i think that summary #^^^^^^& just gave couldn't be further from the truth. sure, i've asked about spots before. when i interned wth Joe i was always prying but that was because i basically fished the same spots as him. i already had a basic knowledge of these areas and just needed a little reassurance that i was on the right track at times. he was nice enough to give me some hints and for that i will always be grateful. but i also think that he realized that i was really serious about my fishing and that i definitely worked hard at it and put in a good amount of time. i never wanted something handed to me. i usually don't have a good handle on where the fish are as i live in MA and fish in Rhody, but rarely will i ever PM people and ask them where the fish are. if i do PM someone, i usually have a gameplan and ask them what they think of it.
as for bringing people to spots, i have been shown some, and anytime i'm thinking of going bakc there i always ask the person if they don't mind. i think you have had a bad experience with a few bad apples, but most younger people who take this sport seriously know the etiquette.
