Just as an FYI, the broadcast was just that, a broadcast, and in reality it has ZERO difference from a presentation at a fishing show.

It was not recorded so it can not be re-broadcast or uploaded to YouTube, and end users/watchers were unable to record it.

As John mentioned above, forum posts that last forever and are easily Googled (or articles published in a magazine for that matter) are very different from a one time broadcast to a crowd no bigger then that at a fishing show.

One thing that has become clear a few years later after the infamous OTW article (for me anyways) was that a lot of us were too hard on Steve about it (myself included). I mostly fish Newport as it's where I live but I do cross the bridges and head East and when I do I rarely find any of the spots mentioned in the original article occupied after dark.

Apologies to those who took issue with the broadcast. We do understand your concern. While we had reservations knowing the history of the "spot" issue our feeling was that the one-time nature of it (and that the presentation in many ways was not new) it would not be an issue.
