Take a look at page 12 or so in this month's Saltwater Sportsman. Some guy from down south submitted a letter of complaint to the SS Editor because last month an article was written in SS burning (offshore I think) spots down there.

His complaint was the same as mine and many others in this thread -- it is NOT the fear that someone will catch fish, it is the fear that a spot will be inundated with fisherman causing all kinds of problems -- loss of access being only one of those problems.

The problem is obviously not limited to us striper-fishermen in the Northeast.

For those of you who keep saying that this spot-burning is not a big issue, you are sadly mistaken. And the not-in-my backyard attitude is similarly wrong.
