Favorite Fishing spot for sale...

Yeah, like there isn't another spot between Nobska Light and Stage Harbor where you can catch a bluefish in May and June.

I don't know how old you are--but you should realize that magazines have been doing this since Frank Woolner was the editor of Salt Water Sportsman.

Red Top gives away free maps to my fishing spots every spring, by the way. Along with a free tide chart.

Exactly!! People getting upset about fishing spots is ridiculous!! There is no such thing as a secret spot. Any local tackle store would give up that spot to a paying customer. Give me a break!!

Look at the bright side with spot burning. At least you know where everybody is and it makes it very easy to go to a place they are not.

I remember a few fluke spot burns last year. As the armada was tripping over itself trying to catch the last remaining fluke in the area I was a few miles away in a very productive spot that I had all to myself.

I had gotten one of those "fishing wisdom" type calendars a year or two back, and one of its "pearls of wosdom" was that if your favorite fishing spot is close to home, and easy to get to, than it probably has less than ideal fishing. In other words, to fully understand the art of fishing, you HAVE to get out of your "comfort zone".
I will, on occaision, pick a pond, or stream on a map and try to fish it. I have had some interesting results. For instance I found Trout Brook in Dover, Stony Brook in Weston and a remote stretch of the Shawsheen River in Burlington. These WERE all nice brook trout streams at one time.
(Don't worry, these spots have already been burned by Trouts Unlimited as well as New England Game and Fish magazine.)

As it has been mentioned earlier, most of the "crowd" will be inexperienced day-trippers that would NEVER think of fishing at night.

The funny thing is that these spots, actually belong to everyone, those who fish and maybe even those who don't. I used to fish Jamaica pond religiously when I was a kid. I fished about 6 spots most of the time. If i got there and someone was in the one I wanted to fish I moved to another one.

depending on who's writing the article ALL SPOTS ARE FORE SALE !! these spots have been around for a long time and they will be there after we are all long gone
the more important thing here is our right of ways to the shore line they in fact if nothing is done now they will be gone. And that is something we should be angry about..
