I liked the way the M article was done. Pictures of places I'd seen before, no maps and circles and arrows, can live with that. Be interesting to see input from NY guys on the piece.

Why do you expect an apology, explanation or otherwise? Do you think that the magazine owes you one? Do you really believe that the editorial/management/publishing staff truly beleives they owe one to you or anyone else. This really amazes me. The guy wrote the article. The responsibility rests squarely with the writer to make the call if he personally is going over some imaginary line drawn on the sand or the rocks in this case by a bunch of insecure, paranoid fishermen who have an overinflated view of reality. The fact is and remains that the vast majority of the publications readers will never, nor do they comprehend the magnitude ( in your general opinions) of what was writen or the implications it could have. The mag staff is not bound nor should they be in dictating limits of what a writer puts in or leaves out of his work. HIS WORK, get it? If they started to do that the magazine would no longer be of any value or interest to anyone but the inane unknowing public, it would be an over-edited collection of bland pages between two covers. Try working OTW' s booth at a show and listen to the comments about what should be in the mag. Everyone has an opinion.
If you fish the same spots all the time, if you never ever do anything else but stick to the same routine of start at point x and end at beach y your in a serious rut and if you believe your secret spot is yours and yours alone and no one has ever fsihed there before you and when your gone no one will ever stumble upon that spot again your terribly misguided. I see it on the outer cape all the time. All the local heroes get pissed when someone shows up on thier bar or thier point. Do you own that spot? Do you alone have legal rights to be there? Pressure will wane and rise on areas despite articles or whatever.
One only has to lurk on these boards to pick up enough intel to figure out general locations and once on those grounds zero in on the finer points of the area. Grow up all of you. You all say too mauch at one time or another. The local papers say it every Friday in season. The tackle shops hoping to increase business tell just enough. An apology? No way, none given and none deserved. Take it up with the author of the piece and stop this bull%$%$%$%$ once and for all.
