I literally never fished my local spots prior to moving to the area in 2002. I got some info from some of the guys in the area. In fact they straight up quietly "burned" their spots to me. When I talked to one of the local shop owners i knew pretty well, he told me there is a group of about a dozen or so guys that fish the area hard. Whenever I ran into someone, it was always someone from that group. If a bunch of us arrived at the same spot, we could stand shoulder to shoulder and fish all night without any problems. Now it is people screaming at people, threatening them, and on and on. I didn't expect it to stay quiet forever, but now it has really gotten out of control.
