for the most part..keeping hole's an info. to himself...earned the hard way I'm sure just like us OLD FARTS have alway's done and not by FISHING in the internet............. that's my side of the coin...agree or disagree that's your choice and I'll respect that.

Maybe the younger generations have just been brought up differently; as in just because your old enough to be considered an "elder", doesn't mean you're going to get any respect if you don't deserve it.

Eben basically said that a few pages back and I couldn't agree more.

I also think no matter how much info you are given or hand holding you get it all in how it's applied. Time in or on the water will always be the deciding factor.
