posts ruining your fishin

[river scum]

i have seen it happen. if you dont believe its possible thats fine, it will happen to you sooner or later. and this isnt about any "spot on a lake" its about the entire lake.

one fast story for ya. these two guys always catch huge crappie and plenty of them. they are well known around the area and a few internet forums. one time a picture got posted on an ice fishing forum, with a cottage in the background. that was posted on a friday morning. monday morning they went back to the spot and what did they see? they counted 70 lurkers and friends all over the ice in that spot. well, those people didnt stop and even more came. even in summer they were flocked there, untill the fish ran out. it took 2 years but that lake was decimated and still is to this day. where you could count on a fish over 16, now you are lucky to catch a 13! so much for a great crappie lake. maybe someday it will come back but till then the damage is done. thats a true story that a lot of NE indiana fishermen know.

so post away , post away. for the rest, heed my warning. no need to stop posting, just stop posting where at.

so yes, slaslider-- "With that logic NO ONE should post ANYTHING about ANY lake in ANY forum for fear the fish might get all taken".
