im new to the site here, but not to the holy striped bass....why is it that you guys are so serious about spots? i understand you dont want specific spots getting blown up but dont you think its more helpfull to your fellow fisherman to give a better fishing report? just seems kinda silly to be so serious about it, if you want to tell some guys you got into a blitz of keepers on the third dock south of the newport bridge on the jtn side, why does everyone jump down your throat? just wondering

Because the next day your spot will have 200 people, which will leave trash, and suddenly you loose access to that spot.

Spot talk on the internet is not just "telling a few guys" its telling the world. Which can then lead to spot burn....and possibly even spot loss. A very touchy subject to many.

I edited the post to be proactive before too many got their panties in a bunch. I honestly dont even know where planter is talking about but by the sounds of things it was specific.

Tell you what. Post your own report stating how awesome the fishing was at the spot you were at last night. post the adress and go there the next night or the next weekend. You will see what happens. No BS. There are people who just cruise the web looking for spot burning b/c they are to lazy to find there own spot.
