True and doesn't seem to make any sense. I would think that if I made money (even a little) on guiding in the surf , I would not want to burn the spots that I made money on.

In the same vain, you certainly don't see any of the charter captains listing GPS and Loran numbers for their "honey holes".
Must be a different mindset with the surf guides.

The people writing articles seem to do a lot of burning. I agree, all the boat guides I know are REAL quiet, except the ones that write articles.

Many boat spots are workable by only one boat at a time if you're working them right, which definitely increases the drive for spots to remain hidden.
