I am always willing to help someone who is unprepared to fish effectively where ever I am fishing. Since someone else (including my father) helped me appreciate fishing so much, I feel compelled to "share the wealth". That doesn't mean giving away your favorite plug, lure or secret spot, but more like sharing your knowledge of a particular spot in regards to time, tide and weather. I will readily pass on a pre-rigged slug-go to someone who lost their only lure, and if there is a child involved, I will make the effort to give the kid as much info as I have (and they can absorb). I have a number of neices and nephews that LOVE to fish, and they're approaching that age when stripers are not out of the question.
