SPOTS

[Raider Ronnie]

Like the mafia saying goes,
keep you're mouth shut,
and never talk to anyone!

I believe that you should only show spots to a few people you can trust and will not show the spot to someone else. All you need is a chain reaction to start and the spot is gone. This is the best method to keep spots:

Been burned a few times, so if it is someone I know and trust, and there is a give and take, I'll talk a little.

It also depends on the spot, everyone know about WH and you can go with little fear and repurcusion. Not all of the fish are caught in "secret" places. But some places cannot support high traffic, and those places don't get talked about.

Like some have said, depends on who, and where...Me, personally, if someone is gonna trust me enough to bring me somewhere I respect them and trust them even more because of it. That's the bottom line. I really enjoy taking a buddy to a few of my spots, I know the feeling I get when I get to see new water, it's a rush. .
... speakin of that, Dave n Dave in a couple a weeks you gotta come on up

The first rule of spot club is -- you don't talk about spot club.

The second rule of spot club is -- you don't talk about spot club.

The third rule of spot club is -- when a sand sissy says "stop" or twists an ankle, the night is over.

Fourth rule is -- only two guys to a rock.

Fifth rule -- one drift at a time.

Sixth rule -- no shirts, no shoes, no service

Seventh rule -- fights go on as long as they have to so horse ‘em outta that rip!

And the eighth and final rule -- if this is your first night at spot club, you will be skunked…

Yes I fish and tell but only to someone I feel will not wright about it in the Fisherman just to make a few bucks. To me that is the worst that can be. You may think to your self its ok as the spot is not one of YOUR best spots but it is for sure someone elses great spot and you just told the world about it for a few bucks. Now I know someone is going to say they are doing it as a service to their fellow fisherman then if that is so why not tell us about all these spots you two have worked so hard to find. Funny but did I not see some spots in the Fisherman buy the Canalman????????? If I am wrong I am sorry but I think there have been a few. Again I know these may not seem special to us but they are to some so who gets to say what spots are ok to tell and what spots are only for a few???? Please don't take this the wrong way I like the Canalman very much and think he is not doing anything he feels is wrong but why not wright about all the places you two have and keep to your self. I just find it funny to see who is talking about keeping places out of the publics eyes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with JohnR -- some spots really aren't that secret. Most of the ones I fish aren't. They're in books on "good spots", posts online, magazines, you name it. Nothing is secret except for my favorite rock to stand on.
