I admire they way most of you guys if not all of you about the way a response to this and other questions are posted. Many people here voice thier opinon and do so without flaming anyone, and I find that admirable.

I remember sitting in a bar in Edgartown about twenty years ago next to a friend of mine who owned a boat and with whom I fish with on that boat many times. I asked him a couple of times about shore fishing spots because I really do like that type of fishing more. He owned a house on the Vineyard for a long time. He became annoyed after awhile and said find them for yourself very abrubtly. No one told me where to fish and it to hard finding the good spots. This was the same guy who would take me out on his 27" dual inboard boat anywhere I wanted to go, but when it came to burning his on shore holes, nada man, no way.

If you don't have to wrok at finding the spots you wont repsect them. If someone turns you on to all your spots you'll be too quick to tell someone else. I found the spots by searching, paying attention and keeping my eyes open. Learning to recognize the same vehicles parked in the same place quite often leads to a found hole more often than not.

As far as OTW burning good spots. If those spots they burn are the only places some of you/us guys fish then some of us/you are not to adventerous. OTW is the only magazine I have ever read that caters to people continuously that live at the levels we we all dwell. I mean does SWS write articles designed to lure people who earn less the 100 large ever anymore. Not.
