How good a fishermen you are depends largely on what you put into it. Sometimes a person will get lucky but very few are consistently lucky. In other words, fishing success is dispensed fairly - for the most part. It's another of the sport's wonderful characteristics.
There are a lot of people who feel any activity that further popularizes the sport is bad. Websites like this and others are popularizing the sport at a very quick clip. We stay away from posting spots, but the number of newbies coming to the sport because of message boards and the fast track (via networking) to angling success they provide, is very significant.
Say what you want, but one thing I have noticed with the most of the more public fishermen is a greater frequency of generosity: whether it's lobbying for access, donating money or merchandise, showing strangers techniques, helping a guy out with his boat. Very few fishermen who are "out there" will not help someone who asks and often they offer help unrequested.
