Didn't spot talk, whether the fishing is good or bad, used to be a faux pas?

I think it still is, but these 2 spots aren't really a secret to anyone. Just saying "the canal" doesn't mean much because it's so general. And Scorton Ledge is a very well known boat spot. This time of year, most of the boat yahoos aren't out fishing because they pulled their boats on Labor Day weekend.

Not based on the boards the last few weeks.

Going on about any spot doesn't help anyone who fishes them with any regularity regardless of how well known it is. About 400 people logged into this site in the last 24 hrs and that doesn't include the hundreds that are on as Guests any time throughout the day. That's a whole lot of people to be giving free detailed information to.

Not to mention the other detailed reports about other locations that have been popping up here lately.

Good point. No one should mention anything about fishing the canal anymore. We can't let the secret that there are sometimes fish there out. If anyone finds out that fish are sometimes in there, it'll be chaos.

Seriously, I wouldn't worry that the canal is going to start attracting crowds based on reports of there not being fish there. How many times have you fished the ditch this season anyways?

Your focus on the canal is why you aren't getting my point.

My season at the ditch this year has sucked - probably only made it a dozen times or so and most of those trips were late May through July. Most of my fishing this year has been 2-3 day trips to Truro a couple times a month. Work has pretty much eliminated any weekday fishing this season.

I'm getting your point just fine. You don't think anyone should mention any spots. In this case, Stifftip mentioned 2 spots that are very well known. I don't think anyone is making a big deal because CCB is a large area and Scorton Ledge in particular is no secret to anyone with a boat. We've already gone over the canal. He didn't mention any particular areas or poles. In fact, he didn't even mention east or west end. I don't think anyone is bitching because what he posted isn't a spot burn. If you're referring to other postings on other sites, I wouldn't know about them. I only responded to your posts replying to this thread.
