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

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 |

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.

By the way John, I like the way authors of specific posts can go back later and delete his or her entire post. You know, a few minutes later after posting a quick, retalitory response. I've used in twice in 24 hours.

There are NO Herring in Rhode Island, Mass, or CT. All the herring are in the Hudson River. How's that for burning a spot......  |
