OTW
The Phantom Beach article was very interesting, and a nice way to respond to all the "spot burning" critisisms that arose out of McKenna's article. I haven't read the Gag's piece yet but will get to that next.
OTW walks a fine line between informing fishermen and "over" informing them. This article shows that OTW can still be an informative and entertaining publication without putting out a "stand here and cast there" sign.
Pubs such as OTW help bring more fishermen into the sport by educating and encouraging them. However, a lot of people have the attitude that the more fishermen there are out there, the worse it gets (crowded beaches, crowded boat ramps, etc.), and there is truth to that. But in this day and age of threatened MPAs, increased regulations, the prospect of saltwater fishing licenses and so on, the more people who feel vested in recreational fishing, the more political power we have.
My hat is off to the publisher, editor, and contributors for a job well done here.

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.

As far as the editors letter I thought Chris Megan missed the point of all the discussion we had here on the site in regards to Steve McKennas article......most were upset about the pressure that would be put on those spots in regards to litter, illegal parking, noise and the possibility of losing access to these spots due to the over exposure. Just my .02 cents. I thought it was a fine letter none the less and its good to see they hear us. Great issue this month and I still have lots to read still....back to fireside now!  |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

When Steve got his copy of the map for "phantom beach" we looked at each other and laughed, it looks just like a spot on our shore 
Havent got my copy yet but cant wait to see just how close everyone is in the way they would fish it-or- how far apart.... |

And it's remarkably similar to a spot I fish in Maine, spots are pretty similar. |

The Phantom Beach being remarkably similar is no accident, and just goes to show how you can teach generically about many different spots without burning them, let's hope they keep it that way. I don't need someone to tell me where to fish, but if they want to offer their insite on how fish a piece of structure a certain way when I encoounter it, then I am all ears.
