A secret is a secret. I once kept a spot secret for 16 yrs. because my partner showed me the place and we crushed the fish there for years. He got a 50 which made it even more prized. Well anyway, one day he told me I no longer had to be mum about the place so now I will tell. That's the way it goes. Secrecy is nothing today compared to years ago. Back then the $ was involved and nobody said anything, even about methods. Today, it kills me, and I see it alot, an angler comes in the tackle shop to weigh in a nice fish and inevitably some one asks the dreaded ? - where did you catch it and on what. Usually the fisherman with the prize says nothing or lies which one should never do. If you don't want to tell, just say so. People should respect that. It's just surf fishing etiquette. If someone tells me they caught bass I never, never ask unless they tell me. And if they do I will never jump in their spot that night unless they ask me.
