My area is by far the worst I have seen in the 10 years I've been here. Drunks and idiots. I like beer, but come on... The fishing ragazines and internet heros have let the cat out of the bag on it the last few years and it is toasted.

No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.

I hear ya Mike and Zimmy. It's really a shame that people don't understand how to keep their collective mouths shut. Some decent fish show up and the internet heroes come out in force.

I long for the old days! We'd have a steady pick of 30 to 40 pound fish on the Back and there were 5 guys who knew about it. The only people you would see would be those 5 guys. PERIOD!

My old friend Lanny, who use to team with Tony C, must be rolling over in his grave with this crap.

No boat, back in the suds.

I literally never fished my local spots prior to moving to the area in 2002. I got some info from some of the guys in the area. In fact they straight up quietly "burned" their spots to me. When I talked to one of the local shop owners i knew pretty well, he told me there is a group of about a dozen or so guys that fish the area hard. Whenever I ran into someone, it was always someone from that group. If a bunch of us arrived at the same spot, we could stand shoulder to shoulder and fish all night without any problems. Now it is people screaming at people, threatening them, and on and on. I didn't expect it to stay quiet forever, but now it has really gotten out of control.

No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.
