Thanks for the replys guys, i absolutely understand their frustrations because I myself fish there just as much as they do. Ive never mentioned the place online here, and ive never personally posted a report on the place (imagine if i did), but in all fairness to myself i managed to find out about this place on my own and i did my homework there and finally figured out the baits the fish really like, it might take a little tweaking in color but ive finally narrowed it down, w/ out any help from the local crowd in fact the guy that was giving me so much grief was the first to come up and ask me what color and what bait i was using when i figured out one of the money baits there. I just dont understand why it was ok for me to tell him and not the other so called "barney" that hes talking about. An in response to your post No Troll Motor i absolutely agree w/ you about it being the attitude of the person recieving the information. But the few guys i did share info w/ were really good and respectful people who were super polite in asking and who are just as stoked on fishing as i am or any of us are on the boards matter of fact he had a kid w/ him and his nephew hooked up on a toad after switching baits and i thought that was just awsome. They were catch and release guys also. IMO the secretive, grumpy, vibe outsiders is so bad for the sport. I surf alot and i see that attitude out in the water all the time and it really bums me out and takes some of the fun out of it. Bass fishing will never grow w/ that sort of attitude. I cant even begin to tell you how much more ive gotten out of my time on the water after meeting CJ, Kevin the guys at BWW and Jesse and Mark down at Performance. They freely give up GOOD info. and are always happy to help. I can remember starting bass fishing when i was younger and spending so much money when i couldnt really afford it on the lamest stuff cuz, i couldnt get any good advice from anyone when i was out fishing, that whole secretive thing. So now im happy to help someone else out because i know what it feels like to be in their shoes. Good fishing everyone.
