For once will you people be generic. If you want to be an internet hero , then fine let everyone in the world know. This website was not created to pass along specific up to the minute information. It was formed so that people who enjoy this can get together, fish, meet some new people, fish with them at new spots, and learn new techniques. If you want to let your buddies know exact locations, call them on the phone, send them a pm, or send them an email. From now on anything with spot specific info will be deleted by me, as soon as I catch it. A copy will be saved for John, and if he wants to put it back up he will, but I would not count on it.

You guys kill me. Everyone on the Planet Earth know about that herring Run. What are you gonna do, fish for Striper in 6" of water. The herring have been going there for 1000 years. Spot burner....Ha

Paul - This response from people is not directed at you specifically so don't get wound up on it. It's a classic tug of spot information warfare

. Personally, I think there is WAY too much emphasis on spots from too many different sources, here included. Bait Shops trying to get the last dollar on their Fisherman Mag ads, Charters blabbing away, various online and print media - it's tooooo much. I just don't want to see this site as mainstream of pressure on "spots".

You have been fishing hard for a long time, right? How did you learn spots - betcha went out and learned them. Learned what made them tick. Learned from others close and not so close, in your circle and not. Met and fished with people in a club. Made many solo nighttime journeys. When you walked into Joe's Bait and he winked and said they blitzed beach X last night, 20 people might have heard. Now, Joe's Bait goes onto the Fisherman and says Joe, Tom, and Tony hammered fish to 30 pounds on Plug"Y" at Beach X and 500 people think about heading there.

I think it is about balance, and there is no balance in media today about spots. It's park here, walk there, and cast up over yonder. Yeh, I've been guilty of it too but I just can't see how spots can be sustainable over the long term....

OK - enough rambling on my part

ProfessorM · 03-22-2005, 10:32 AM

Sorry if anyone offended in me mentioning the specific run I did. Thought the location was common knowledge being the largest run in state. I agree with your concern. From now on mum's

the word. Paul

piemma · 03-22-2005, 11:51 AM

OK, I have been chastised and will post no more information about anything, anywhere, anyhow. From here on all my information will be kept in the vault. Except for the Striper run at Wood River.

TheSpecialist · 03-22-2005, 02:38 PM

John that would make things a heck of alot easier......

BTW I was'nt chastising one member on this board, I am chastising all of us. We all need to be alot more concientious of what we post.

fishsmith · 03-22-2005, 12:28 PM

I thought J plugs were the answer, but now I now it's the Y plug. Thanks John.
Salty you sell Y plugs?

lurch · 03-22-2005, 08:57 AM

here we go....WOO HOO!!

I am reading AND posting so I dont get tagged as a lurker

I was supposed to get to RI this winter when no one was around to check out spots but was unable to

Maybe an early spring trip will help narrow down some areas when the girls come home.

spence · 03-22-2005, 09:02 AM

The first spot burning thread of the season...

IT MUST BE SPRING !!!

Everyone on the Planet Earth know about the (*&*(^*&^*( run is.

the burning of a spot doesnt really have anything to do with catching fish whether it be 6 inches of water of 6 fathoms, its about placing "extra" (as in more than usual) pressue on a location.
