Lighten up on sharing of info

[rizzo]

I think what everyone is getting at is the more you mention a spot and what you catch there online, more people will go there. To make things worse, you get all kinds of fisherman reading the posts. The good ones can fish in a crowd and have a minimal effect. The ones with poor ethics make things bad and really trash the place. Regardless of whos in the spot, if theyre standing on a productive rock you like to fish, you wont be able to fish there.

As far as sharpies and learning info from others, everyone has learned something from another person. The thing is the way that you learn the information. Many many people are willing to share if you go about it the right way. Some will straight out tell you, others will not be as willing ot share but eventually will, once they realize youre serious about it. Part of fishing is learning that one piece of information that can sometime lead to success. I think what a lof of guys are getting mad at is the free handouts to the whole internet and the problems it can cause.
