posts ruining your fishin

[river scum]

yup thats what it looks like. lol

[SlabSlider]

LOL Sure, that's what it will look like...AFTER I have already fished that spot! I fish it and pass it along. I have many spots and some I do not pass along. Common sense there fellas.

The fish will not stay there all the time. You know that! I know that! So, what's the problem?

I will post there are fish biting under a certain bridge and will sit back and let people catch fish or be stupid. That is their choice. Not mine. Everyone knows you can catch fish under a bridge. There would be people there anyway if I don't post to let someone know that may not know that.

I just help them to get there sooner while those pesky fish are still biting in that one little 50 FOOT SQUARE PIECE OF LAND ON THAT MULTI ACRE LAKE where fish are biting all over that lake...

Next time you see someone in "YOUR" spot, ask them how they learned of the spot. You might be surprised. Everyone has "their" hotspot. They think they are the only one that knows about it. Trust me, your not!

I've spoken to people about specific lakes (both of us have fished it before) and we both have talked about the exact same structure, the exact same hole, the exact same log....

Some people like to think they have the knowledge that no one else has. The "I'm better than everyone else" attitude.

Post, don't post, share, don't share. There are always going to be people that are different than you, us, whoever. They will lie, cheat and steal. That is the nature of the beast. If everyone was like me/us, no one would be in prison, everyone would have jobs, there would be no welfare system needed... you get my point.

The pictures look like a couple people out fishing!! You need to fish the Detroit river in the spring time. 1000 boats in any direction as far as you can see. My hotspot might have 1000 boats around me! guess what, everyone still catches fish.

Lastly, I would be willing to bet, most of the people that have posted negativly have, at one point in time in their lives, seen someone fishing on the bank of a stream, or in some location in their boat. The next time they are in the area, they checked it out to see why the people were there.... that is called being a hypocrite.

so basically what your saying is, its ok to tell everyone you see about a lake giving up limits of 12-17"ers. then watch as that 800 acre lake turns into non limits of 10'ers, in 2 years. yeah im sure you would be ok with that on your favorite lake. lol sure thing people. lol those that defend posting info have yet to see that happen, or they would understand. tell me it dont happen and ill call you a liar! as seen in most of the posts, it happens a lot too!

its sad to see and hear of. the reason for my post was to bring it to light and maybe save a great fishing hole or two. if it means some "no talent idiot spot jumper" cant go catch him a freezer full then tough spit. to them i say learn to find and catch your own.

If a lake is producing limits I will bet you anything, anything, that the fish are not biting EVERYWHERE on that lake. Good luck in finding them on a MULTI ACRE lake when you hear of a spot like a bridge (which always holds crappie) which has fish at it at that given time.
I have never seen nor heard of people fishing out a lake because someone posted "The fish are biting good at this bridge at this given time"!


With that logic NO ONE should post ANYTHING about ANY lake in ANY forum for fear the fish might get all taken.

I am not going to worry about a little spot on a lake causing the fish to disappear or shrink in size due to my posting to help someone else have a good day of fishing at a single spot no more than 50 feet square.
And when I say "good day" fishing, I mean about a day or two is about what they will get before the fish move on to another spot and can't be found there again!

I am sorry but I just cannot believe that posting in any forum causes fish to deplete any more than they would from normal day to day fishing. Your local wildlife department that monitor lakes and can give you reasons for fish size reduction or depletion. I would venture to bet also that they will not say the fish are reduced in size "from fishermen reading forums and fishing the lake out". They have no proof and neither does anyone else. If there was proof then it should be voted illegal in some states.

I personally feel it's a pride thing.

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".

double posting deleted

[SlabSlider]

Didn't think bashing was allowed in the forums...hmmm...

Well if I am correct in my saying, why are you reading the forums and in particular other people's posts on their fishing trips? You certainly don't need the info...or do you secretly get the info when it is posted like everyone else?


Look, don't get offended just because someone disagrees with you. It is a forum and all about getting info on fishing. Share and have fun and try not to bash.

[CrappiePro]

I give allot of Info, Don't get near as much as I give out...but that's ok cos my lakes are big, my spots are many and my rivers run deep. I am GOING TO GET MINE!!!

[NIMROD]

We got some loud mouths guys that go to alot of lakes where folks share info then see it on the board after they catch fish there.
