gusto,
I'm not sure if you fell out of the womb in your now perfect form...but I'm guessing that @ one point, you were a beginner at something. Spelling maybe, who knows.
Anyhow, now that you're the man and all, maybe you should sit back and take a look at your kingdom. It must be great!
Lets talk about where I live. I've been fishing since before I can remember, fresh and salt, and probably go 3-4 times a week in both. Strangely enough, though, I still ask questions at shops, talk to everybody I see with a line in the water, and share all of my information with EVERYBODY!
I probably have given away every honey hole I know of 50 times! Strangely enough though, I catch a rediculous amount of fish. I know this sounds a little arrogant, but its very true.
My line of reasoning is thus...If I told EVERYBODY about all of your's, mine, and everyone else's special fishing spots that I know of, and consequentially, these people all went there and fished, then why am I still catching so many fish and having such a great time?
I think you're literally "missing the boat" on this one. I feel its much more important to read a spot, know bait seasonality as well as prevailing weather and tide conditions, and other factors that lead one to become a great fisherman (sorry). You try using one of those snoopy poled bobber rigs and the wrong bait or lure and see what you bring in. Derek I guarantee these people are not catching your fish!
Maybe you should try sharing what you know with old Mr. Snoopy Pole, though. It helps with the bitter taste in the mouth.
Rick (I gave away all your good spots today, too)
