Striprman - you just don't comprehend or maybe you simply don't care about how posting on the internet can overwhelm a spot. It doesn't happen every day or on any post but it happens A LOT. I can't stress this enough, the Internet does not give up secret spots, just like most everyone says. But it DOES overwhelm them when they're mentioned. I've seen it a hundred times.

What the Internet DOES do is flood a spot with people. You get 500 to over a thousand people here per day looking at stuff, several hundred on one of the North Shore sites, close to a grand on the LI Sound site and a couple grand on the Jersey site, add that to the papers, and the shop reports and you can RUIN a location.

We're trying here to be both responsible here AND to share knowledge that will help people catch more fish. Not put someone on a rock or bar and say "cast there". That doesn't help people out. There is much more to learning than that. Telling people that Spot X is pukin' up large doesn't do that.

If people want to share spot with someone, PLEASE, I encourage you do it by a PM or something. Otherwise please speak in generalities.

Now with all that said, CSK, bad boy , he was fairly generic with that....
