Alas the Ben Franklin quote...."Three can keep a secret if two of them are dead."

I pretty much tell anyone I consider a friend everything. Not really concerned with getting anything in return. Secrecy used to be a bigger deal in the old days when there was a profit motive, but that's died on the vine too. Its funny sometimes people ask, I tell them exactly what's up and they assume I'm lying because I'm a striper fisherman..its quite comical.

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind
