I have permission and he doesnt.. I could care less if he goes down there, but I have opened up a dangerous can of worms if he decides to bring anyone else in there and then that person brings someone who trashed the place and tells everyone about it... friendships have been ruined over less........

Eben, it's not that big of a deal. Any of your friends have permission to fish in my KOI pond. Just make sure they catch and release and NO CORN!!!

Other than private land with written or verbal access, there are no "secret spots".

Anyone with half a brain and a map or chart can find where to fish.
All that matters is if and when the fish are there.

Been fishing a long time, never said or was told about spot burning until the internet, this site and a few others. I have fun teaching people and takeing friends fishing. Sometimes we catch other times zippo. One place is as good as any I tell people,Just get out and dunk an eel
I think people take this way 2 far . my 2 cents

I have literally taken a pledge about spots I have been brought to. It is definatley a game of respect. I would ask if they minded if I went alone, but I would never burn a spot I was taken to by bringing a friend or whatever. Things need to be earned IMHO... It is all about Respect....

Consider this spot, BURNED.
