Hello everyone, im usually on here posting reports but there something i just need to get off my chest. Went fishing the other day at one of our local ponds and when i pulled up i noticed that is was kinda crowded, no worries, just fun fishing anyways and i proceed to make my way down to the lake. As i get there one of the locals gives me the stink eye and w/ his hands makes that (puppet talking) like i have a big mouth jesture and motions to the guys across the lake and says to me. " How come everyones figured out this lake, those guys werent catching fish before now they are." Huh? what kind of comment was that!!! and in a previous conversation w/ a "so called" local a week before i was given a lecture saying and i quote, " if anyone asks you what your using to catch bass in here say your using( i forgot what stupid lure he said but take your pick) and that your using 40 pound test, we need to keep these barneys out of here". And these comments were made to me after helping some people out w/ their choice of baits and line after they were having a hard time catching fish. I was suddenly made to look like a bad guy for helping people and they were bitter that i told a friend about the "so called" secret spot, that everyone has freaking already heard about. First of all why is a guy a barney if isnt catching fish. And if youve watched that person get skunked on previous trips deny him a chance to catch some fish and join the party when he asks you for some advice on baits and tackle. It just boggles my mind. So today i returned to the lake w/ a buddy and i see one of the "so called" locals and confront him about some bad mouthing that ive been hearing about and i just couldnt believe some of the comments this guy was making. Get a load of this one. "Ive been CULTIVATING this place for a long time and i dont want it to get ruined". cultivating........can you believe that. The guy was acting like he owned everybass that was in that pond and he personally stocked each and everyone. Also " your a bass fisherman you should know that things come in cycles and it only gets good for a little while"......Hello!!! DUH!!! thats fishing i think that happens in every lake or pond. I was trying to convey the point to this guy that it doesnt matter if theres a few guys fishing here if youve got skills youll get bit, but he was still bitter and couldnt see my point. The sad thing about it
is that i really sensed the greed coming from this guy, the
satisfaction of seeing people get skunked and walking away frustrated. For god sakes its fishing!!! and its "fun"fishing at that, theres no money on the line, no points on the line, nothing. Just plain fun. Isnt that what its all about, and everyone was catching and releasing any ways so i just couldnt understand this guy. The funny thing about it is that its always the guy who isnt catching @#$% that ends up bitching about something. Sorry everyone i just had to get that off my chest good fishing to everyone.
