I understand the mans frustration. He needs to understand you guys frustration as well. As for me when I use to fish two to three days per week, for years. I always shared lake information, baits, color, structure, and depth ; I did it gleefully. Never did I tell a stranger where I was fishing. Most of us do not have the luxury living on a lake or where lakes are in close proximity. Me, I had to travel sixty miles plus to go fishing. I was lucky enough to have a wife that didn't complain a lot on the thousands of dollars a year I spent on fishing. Never was I obligated to one lake. Brother, you got to pay your dues. It will be more gratifying for you.

I figure, right now you have more important obligations. Don't hate on these guys, they spend a lot of money and time chasing crappie. Do like me, I only fish the spawn, throw a hook in the water, practically any thing will hit it. I have other interest now.

I think one needs to put some thought in what these men do to allow them to pursue their fishing habits.
