This is an excellent post. I don't mind helping new people learn, I am still learning all the time. My biggest pet peeve, is the posting of specific spots on the internet. Remember that most of us lurked on these boards, some for years, before posting. We also have to remember that most spots can only take so much pressure. Too much and the next thing you know the place is closed down. One example is Moon, and Long Island in Boston Harbor. There is some great fishing around these islands, unfortunately they no longer let you fish out there. when I was a kid we used to go there with regularity with my father. He caught his 53lbder out there. Eventually so many people had heard about it that the wrong kind of fisherpeople went out there. They started drinking beers, leaving trash, and even giving beers to the recovering Alcoholics at the Hospital. Next thing you know no more access. This is why it is important to not post exact spots, maps with directions, etc on the internet. If you want to give some one a spot, email or pm it to them. Another spot that is getting badly burned is Nut Island in Quincy. A few guys get a couple of fish, it goes in the papers, and other fishing mags, now you go there there are 60 poeple no place to park. People are drinking, as a matter of fact I was down the riprap fishing plugs, when a beer boottle came flying down the hill smashing on a rock 10' away. I went up the hill and a couple of guys are walking away with beers in their hands. There are trash barrels all over the place. Sorry for the rant, you get my point.....
