Got it...sorry missed that post! Thanks...what a cheesehead Steve McKenna is!

[Slipknot]

quoted by nebe: well i had a freind read it to me over the phone.. im not pissed at all.

those spots are 'has been' spots. kinda like some of the old spots you read about on the cape that no longer produce like they used to.

if anything i am glad, as it will send the googans in the wrong direction.

Steve is no fool.. i fish with him occasionally and while i am surprised at this, i'm not going to loose sleep over it.

come on nebe, when's the last time you fished at the knob?
I understand what you are saying though.
It's still surprising to see it all laid out you have to admit.
alot of people are gonna be pissed off, what about trash and parking issues that can happen when crowds show up because of this?

[Nebe]

good point, i should say that the 2 spots close to me have been slow producers for the past 2 seasons.

I guess the key to the game is to stay off the map and avoid any areas where people already fish.. 'make your own spots'.. kind of like bassmaster's 'make your own reports'

i will have to read it in person though.

Most places he mentioned are well known, by name, the thing that got me, was the detail, and the hand drawn maps with the X's,. and the park here, stand here, cast here, 5 spots to better your chances at a forty this fall ....
is he trying to divert a crowd, if these spots are passe as ebay, er, nebe ( )
said?
A generic mention of a place, fine, but 8x10's with circles and arrows, and a paragraph on the back explaining the circles and arrows .. c'mon (apologies to Arlo Guthrie for stealing his line)
One thing to steer someone in the right direction,but, this was waaaay too explicit, and like Slip said, do these area's need more pressure, traffic, litter, and increase folks ire over overcrowding, and what goes with that?....

[CAL]

I havn't got my copy yet but regardless of his intentions it sounds pretty moronic if you ask me. What good can possibly come from being that specific?

Next thing you know, Powers will be including hand drawn maps too and GPS coordinates just to one up him.

Karl F, I knew someone was gonna jump all over the Arlo Guthrie thing

I agree w/ Nebe on his statement above.


I went to Steve's seminar on that was held at the Jamestown Striper Club. There were about twenty people that attended with me being the only one from S-B. There was a similiar seminar at the West Valley Inn the previous nite that I did not attend but there were 300 people.


I have yet to read the article but it must be the same information he described at the seminar.

I am applying this knowledge to better understand how to fish other locations that I'm presently aware of and those that I yet to explore.

Steve is a cool guy. There are worst things in life to bicker about then castrate a sharpie that is trying to better others lifes if they can make the connection.

At one of these spots there has been talk on this site, of parking problems already.

Eben - always remember, "has been" spots to one are "prime" spots to another. With all the constant talk about spot burning on this site, I'm surprised anyone would give him a break since he mentioned exacts vs generalities. One of them is definitely a spot I fish every fall and there is very limited parking to begin with. Just some food for thought.......

[BigFish]
