Good post john.. your right i used to share more on these boards publicly, but the problem is that i would rather share with one or 2 people than to broadcast it to the whole world.
Just to clarrify my story, i get down there and these guys had 4 flats of mackeral that were uncut- who knows how much they had already cut up and tossed. They had a 12 pack of budwieser and more thanhalf was empty.
Nothing burns me up when i get down to some of the spots in gansett only to see trash left from fishermen.. im not pointing fingers, but most if not all trash is left by bait fishermen.... to me, they are the enemy. because of them, they get spots closed down. .. okay back to the story. I talked to them for a few minutes to see how they were doing and these guys had no respect for the ocean.. every bluefish they reeled in they punted back, or threw in a tidal pool to die they even told me that any bass they caught under 34 inches was going back too, which only told me that they had connections to commercial sales.... Not cool IMO.. After sizing them up for a while, i made the decsion to go jedi on them and tell them that the bass werent around..
IF these guys looked to me like the real deal, i would have sung like a song bird.. but they were meat hunting, and i chose to do way with them.. As for people attacking me for doing this, i guarrantee you would have done the same thing if this was going down in one of your favorite spots...
you can call it paranoia, but i would rather call it protecting valuable information from those who i dont know.
