I understand what bloo is saying although I have many spots where I fish and 10 miles of shoreline these "spots" are located on. If someone wants to try to identify rocks that I fish from pictures I post I cant control that. While the are anaylising, Im catching. Any/My fishing reports are stale anyway.........ever have someone tell you the fish are here or there and you go to that locale and get blanked? Fish have fins/tails for a reason. It happens time and time again. The only real way to be consistant in this sport is to learn spots/locations and fish them under a variety of conditions to narrow the times you spend there.

Example: Ran into a two wetsuiters last night.....never seen them in this/my area before ....one I think is a member of this site and anyone who went to striper-fest knows who he is for sure......not 100% sure, very dark at 1am...never met him before but enjoyed talking with him,nice guy.....many 50s under his belt.....they said they fished a spot.....one of my favorites, without a hit...1.5 hours later I visited this said spot....results= read above. Local knowledge has huge advantages. I am sure they seen pictures posted here and my location posted on my S-B profile.

I think I might be done posting here.

Striper Haven: Please don't stop posting your reports as I find them inspiring, Although I'm a bit jealous I won't be trying to figure out where you are specifically. Just hoping I get a shot at them as they move south of you in my direction. Anyone who can identify those spots probably knows the area pretty well already. And no matter what you post here there will always be some who make you regret doing so. You are doing great and I wish you continued success.

Fireman, I meant no disrespect. Don't be "done" because of something this cranky crab typed. I enjoy reading AND seeing your pics. I prefer reading posts from humble fishermen, I don't really care for the movie-stars. ...(unless it's done in fun, then I LOVE it!)

I just don't like seeing decent people get burned. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure things out sometimes or come relatively close. If you're serious about the wet-suiters, was it a coincidence?

Awwww, what da heck, it's just fishing anyway.

striper haven take some pictures
and i'll put you in front of the great pyramid of Egypt

no worries

Thanks for the replys.....I like the "great pyramid" idea!

Anway....I dont own the rocks I fish, so its open game to anyone who is dedicated enough to search, find and land bass should they find any of the spots I fish. Anybody can go out at 2am and chuck eels into the water and find a 40#er on the end of their line. Landing the fish is another story. That being said....if someone is intentionally following me night after night thats a different story. I dont know any of you from this site,other than seeing pictures and reading your story's. Been a member here since 03' and posted a few times but never posted pictures of large fish I caught in the past. And there has been many. I prefer to be a "lurker" and enjoy this site very much. This year obviously has been different ,and I felt like I would share a few with you all.

The person/wetsuiter I met the other night has been confirmed through a message I received last night. I dont know him personally but I do know he fishes very,very hard and has many large fish under his belt. Not because of his "movie star" status, but because he is dedicated to catching large fish and earned that status because of this dedication and fishing ability,which I admire. Accolades come from hard work and a by-product of that hard work is publicity, particularity if your catching stuff that folks fish all there lives for but come up empty.

I fish hard and this year I thought I would share some of my experiences/journeys with you all. Even if the pictures expose one or two of my spots I think it was worth it as I get to share some of my accomplishments/disappointments....this sometimes can be a lonely sport. You all seem like a good bunch and we all enjoy something that has become sort of an addiction for me.

Take care.
