Any luck?

[fishbones]

Jim in CT, you're pretty quick to judge others here based on not knowing the situation. Telling people you don't know to "get over themselves" is pretty short-sighted. I don't know the spot Piemma is referring to, but I'd be willing to bet my life that it's not a spot a "newbie" would be fishing at 2 in the morning. The jetties and breachways attract a lot of newbies and inexperienced people because of the easy access and the fact that they are well known spots.

Question for you. Would you be wading out to a small rock in an unfamiliar and potentially dangerous area in the middle of the night by yourself?

The question "Any Luck" has been removed from my vocabulary. It has been replaced by "Catch Anything %$%$%$%$ers?"

I don't like this thread, and I have no wish to prolong it. But I'm going to address what you asked. Emails have a tendency to sound harsher than they are intended, and if that's the case, let me apologize...

"you're pretty quick to judge others here based on not knowing the situation"

This thread, and the other one about encroaching, suggested an obvious hostility and paranoia about sharing what is, I'm sorry to break it to you, a public resource. To an outsider looking in (I'm not a close part of this community here), there are TONS of examples of an "us versus them" mentality. It's glaringly obvious that many here resent having to share an admittedly limited, but nonetheless public, resource.

It is that feeling that I think some here need to "get over". If that sentiment doesn't really exist here, I apologize. But I can point to several threads just in the last few days that really suggest that mentality, which again, I don't understand.


"Would you be wading out to a small rock in an unfamiliar and potentially dangerous area in the middle of the night by yourself?"

No, I wouldn't, not one that was unfamiliar. But I do have my spots, and there have been times when guys showed up after me, and I have no problem moving over, or even giving him a cold beer if he's a friendly sort.

if i said it in a harsh tone quickly - as in- GET OVER IT !
that makes me quite angry to say the least

if said in a general acceptance tone as in - you'll get over it
that makes me think that someday i will

if said in the way: your gonna have to get over it... dude..
asking you to please have some patience...
that's a whole other deal...

there is no inflection of voice here ........other than smiley's

I think this is a rock as opposed to a breachway or a rock that two can share. This is a very nice rock in a very nice place. Pics by Zeno from an old thread. Don't take the internet too seriously.

Jim,
This thread was not about sharing the spot. I left the guy fishing at the spot. I just did not indicate there were fish there. It was up to him to figure out that there were fish there. My gripe was the fact that someone wanted me to share information about a certain spot which I did not want to do. It became a back and forth about whether or not "Any luck?" is a greeting or a question of whether there are fish at a certain area. I believe it is the latter. As I was standing on a very specific piece of structure, I chose not to divulge any information to someone I didn't know. If the question had been asked of me in the parking lot, I may have answered that there are some fish around, without giving away the specific spot. Even though the question was generic, the spot was very specific. Got it ?
