I have to be honest, when I started there was no way I could resist! no way at all. But I have learned you lose friends that way and as I get older, I realize there are plenty of hotspots and FISH HAVE FINS!

depends on the person who took me there or how I got the info

When I worked in an archery shop I would see this new hunter come in and be ready to plunk down his $$$ on a bow because he just saw a HUGE buck
well I would help him get it ready and the all the whyle be workin him to find everything I could about what he saw or where he was hunting. I'd give him a few spots to try out and soon enough he'd tell me where he had seen deer and I'd check the area out

If I respect the person I respect the spot

CATCHIN A 50 IS LIKE GETTIN POISON IVY ON YOUR MANHOOD..........IT TAKES A LONG TIME BEFORE YOU CAN BEAT IT!!!!

Thats a good way of putting it respect is important but what about if the place is private? so, even if you hated the guy but he took you to his honey hole and that place was only accesible via private property you would still try and get in? thats called USING someone. If I dont respect someone, then I could care less where he gets his bass. Tough to be fishing next to people you dont like.. Anyway its interesting to hear different perspectives.

If the person was kind enough to show me how to get there and how to fish it, i would ask if they minded if I go down on my own.. i would also ask if they mind that i bring someone...

For example...
a few nights ago i met up with someone i fish with from time to time. Over the winter I was granted permission to fish a piece of property that is really fishy, so i gave him directions and I had him meet me down there... On the way out he says that he cant wait to go back and is planning to go back. This puts me in a very awkward position because i am responsible for this person tresspassing.... I have permission and he doesnt.. I could care less if he goes down there, but I have opened up a dangerous can of worms if he decides to bring anyone else in there and then that person brings someone who trashed the place and tells everyone about it... friendships have been ruined over less........

I like the honesty too. I have been taken to a spot or two that produces. Generally its someone I know pretty well that takes me. I always ask them straight up if they'd be pissed if they showed up and I was there already. I DON'T burn their spots to anyone else. Wouldn't think of it, I live by schoolyard rules.

I voted I would totaly respect the spot...but I was lying! Let's be realistic, unless you're fishing in someone's swimming pool there are no secret spots! Your secret spot is the same spot that another guy has been fishing for 30 yrs. Now burning a current "hot spot", especially on the net, or encroaching on someone while they are fishing a spot is a different story and a sure sign of an idiot!
