Im gonna be transparent for a minute and some may not like it...but whatever. I love reading this site but I rarely post pics on open forums of what lake I caught fish on anymore because of several reasons. I know post them for my memory and friends to see on facebook because every tom, dick and harry don't have access to read my post and constantly pm me for more info. Folks don't want to fish anymore unless they KNOW EXACTLY where they are.

My favorite lake in Mississippi to take my kid to fish at because of the #'s has almost gotten to the point my dad(65) and his friend(68) have trouble parking relatively close to dock during the week. This week and last week was evidently 2 other states Spring Break because that is what all the truck tags have written on them. Let me be very clear, It is a public lake and whoever wants to pull there and fish has as much right as anybody else so I am not bashing out of state fisherman. But I have had 2 boats come by me and ask do you know ScottV and I say "yes".....then they say what color boat does he have I am wanting to see where he fishes. I asked them, "do you have his phone number?".....they say no we have just seen him post pictures and know he know how to catch em on this lake. So in essence, the have simply watched the internet from another state. Determined there was lots of fish in a lake from watching what was going on with the post here and decided to travel over to a lake they had no idea even existed and went to trying to follow someone around.
I started to text ScottV and let him know but I did not. Knowing how good of an individual he is, he would have probably let them follow him all over the lake. Man I feel like that was a negative post......I guess what I'm saying is I don't have any trouble telling people I trust where the fish are (I communicate with several on here that fish multiple lakes in our state) but I don't care anything about making the sport I love and am trying to teach my 3 year old now an more difficult to do. I have a kid to teach how to fish, not an adult.
