It's alive!! The river that is...

[BW from AZ]

Two years ago we shared a hot spot we knew was producing with a local bait shop. The next day as we motored by there was way to many boats trying that spot to be a coincidence. Now she gets reports for reports. Helps us learn differant places.

I can understand the concern of losing access to spot xxxx but that location is very unique and not many people are able to fish it anyway. I would be mortified if I could not get in there anymore. That being said there are over 28 miles of riverbank to fish from on the north alone and I hate to be exclusionary if I don't have to.
I will try and be a bit more descreet about broadcasting specifics but I sure find myself wanting to give directions to the Shad rookery. They are thicker than fisherman at an overly reported on hot spot. If you have never fished the shad you just don't know what your missing.

That spot was burned about a hundred years ago thanks to Field And Stream or Outdoor Life I forget which.

I have fished for shad... both on the north and south shore.... can't stand the crowds... lines over lines... who needs it.... it's like fishing the sandbar near the mouth of the merrimack on a sunday... insane....
