Saltheart,

Sorry I didn't get the chance to defuse the situation by pointing out that each of those spots were totally arbitrary and represented where a loran line intersected the shoreline.

I guess I wasn't fast enough with my follow up post -- boy you do have a fast trigger finger.

I just wanted people to realize how over the top this spot burning issue has become.

The best way to protect something you care about is to get involved. There is strength in numbers and if we don't start working together to protect sensitive areas from the inevitable increase in pressure, we are all going to lose out.

People can't go around beating on their chests and saying, "Stay away, this is our spot." These spots belong to everyone. What we need to do is make sure that these areas are fished with respect for the nearby landowners, with respect for fellow anglers, and that they are left cleaner then when we arrived.

Mike
