To the point about fishing your secret spot and then having someone pull up next to you and marking it on a GPS - my question is, what are you going to do about it? Let me answer it for you - nothing! Last I checked, no one owned any reef or hole.

I used to fish with a guide who told me if you see a fisherman without a smile on his face, give him yours. Now I am not advocating posting up the location of every reef on the lake or telling everyone at the dock where to go, but I am advocating helping people out and just truly enjoying your time out on the water. I love catching fish, but I feel blessed any time I can just get out on the water and enjoy some time with my friends.

Think about how yall would fell if u spent countless hours learning that lake trying to find good spots away from the crowds to avoid problems. You find them spots out in the middle of nowhere then joe blow pulls up on you wide open shuts down on top of you and starts pushing his gps buttons. Next thing you know next week theres 10 boats there. All your hardwork down the drain cause somebody seen you where they never seen a boat fish before and just had to get them cordinates cause they know they got it with the push of a button.

PS- if any of you guys ever want to fish LAke ponc, Delacroix, Empire let me know. Not only will I not call you an idiot I will give you solid reports to help you out the best I can.

I think sharing info is great,its all about having a good time on the water anyways. On another note I agree that most people on the water don't have a clue and are very rude. This is the main reason I prefer to fish for redfish,i can't stand to fish around a bunch of people almost casting into your boat. I don't mind sharing the water but when im on a school of trout and someone comes hauling azz with there outboard and starts fishing and wonders why there not catching and leave 5 mins later. Cypremort point area is REALLY bad in the fall when the trout are inside,sometimes it looks like you can jump boat to boat.

That's the way I look at it. I don't get to fish nearly enough to worry about how I put fish in the boat. If they wanna bite on plastics that's fine with me but if they tearing up some live bait then guess what's going on my hook!! And if they biting on dead shrimp......FISH ON!!!!!!!! :*****:

I totally agree with you. I think my biggest pet peave while fishing is when some jerk-off come trolling right where I'm fishing! At SW Pass this past summer we were getting a few bites on the reef and this guy picked up anchor and trolled between where we were casting and our boat! That was the 2nd time he did that, the 1st time was to another boat. I took off my hook (just in case) put on a weight and one of those big green corks and starting throwing it right where he was going. He got pretty pizzed and left.
