Another pat on the back for SALTHEART, well said sir, well said.
I think if anyone feels disenfranchised (I like that word) to the degree Gusto is he should start his own website on the kitchen table like somebody I know, and nurture it, burp it, cajole it, dehack it, and sometimes gently kick it to get it jump started when it crashes, so he to could really understand what it takes to humor us all like JOHN R. does. I understand how frustrating it is to find your favorite spots published on the internet, but if someone knew enough about the spot to put it here or somewhere else it really wasn't much of a secret.
When I started fishing the Vineyard in the early 70's it took me years to find some of the most common places there were to fish. The locals (islanders) thought it was a joke to be mean and nasty even sending you in the opposite direction. The native vineyarders were much more giving of fishing information. I can't be that way though to anyone. I'll even show them the way to go sometimes now. Everything we do or say should lend to a positive end to the day so that the day itself is as fulfilling as it possibly can be. The fishermen/women in many respects are the last vestige of cordial sporting behavior that is to be found. Lets keep it that way. One more thing, I remember on Wide World of Sports one time Curt Gowdy was doing an end of the show interview with a guy in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, when in answer to a Gowdy prompt the old guy says if heaven ain't like Jackson Hole I don't want to go. Well if heaven ain't got no fishing I dont want to go either. So lets not muck it up. What do you say. Be kind all, and kiss the first bass you catch everyday.
