Definitely tons of people on the spot. Gives you a sinking feeling when you show up and the place is mobbed.

Part of it is knowing that you won't be able to fish the spot the way you want...Part of that results from past experience with the lack of "etiquette" often displayed by others. I hate when I catch a fish and everyone in the area is suddenly casting on top of my line.

But the biggest reason is that I fish to get away from crowds. I like the quiet and solitude. Not to say I don't like fishing with friends, I certainly do, but I think that has to be my biggest dread while heading to a spot.

Of course, its been more of what I haven't seen lately... FISH! Definitely in a mid-season slump.
