Re: Got a nice one today!
I figured as mutch! I have a friend who is a fanatical bass fisherman and knows where all the good offshore structure is in two of our local lakes, from fishing them hard for 20 yrs. He has taken some "friends" to some of them and told them not to show anyone else. I was fishing w him earlier this year when we approached a boat on one of his small, obscure, honey holes in the middle of the lake, and it was a guy he showed it to a week before , w a friend aboard. This was 2 days before a tournament on this lake. My buddy was pretty mad and let him know sternly, His "friend" said nothing much, and didn't appologize either, as he was obviously embarassed in front of his partner, until they quickly left. My friend is a super nice guy who would do anything for anyone, but is serious about his fishing and tournaments. He will not take just anyone to his good spots, so he gets angry when guys he trusts, act this way, and they don't fish w him again. Too bad for them as he is very successfull and I always learn alot whenever I fish w him. If you show some folks your secret spots, they won't be secret for long, or as good as before IMO. I imagine you've "been there done that" hense the obscureing of the shoreline.
