Ethics

Sometimes mums the word. Found a spot on a lake once and there was some abandoned construction equiptment there, and it was completly by accident, took a buddy, who took a buddy, who on and on, finallyu some scuba nuts went there, and ruined for all of us. So if its a secret, keep it that way.I caught some nice bass out opf that spot, and one day in a local paper, there was the friend of a friend, with his picture in the paper, yep, he couldn't keep his mouth shut.

I too fish the duck pond. If someone is there first I'll find another spot. But if I'm there first and they try to crowd me off, WHOA NELLIE, WE'VE GOT A TUSSLE BREWING.

[quote=rustedhook;332104]I have shown people spots on a lake before and if they are on it when I get to it I can't tell them to get off of it. For one thing they don't know when I'll be there. 2. I don't own it. 3. If I thought they were going to fish it I shouldn't have told them about it.

Very well said. I'm also with MSGMILLS, Idon't know where the Duck Pond is but if I did I would put up a billboard and tell everybody.LOL.

Anyone who fishes the river below the falls knows of and fishes in and around the "duck pond". It's no secret, it isn't *owned* by anyone, and isn't even that great of a spot. Well, maybe sometimes. There was a boat stuck in the entrance to the duck pond on the news last year if you remeber they had to be rescued by the coast guard.

After reading the replies I thought they I handled it well. As Sportsman we all made good points. No One own anything. I fished until I had more than enough and tossed some back left some for every one else. the river is a big place and we all can find a spot to fish!!!!

Thanks guys!

[QUOTE=MsgMills;332090]P.S. you can let everyone on the board know of the spot and then we can all come along and fish his spot together.....lol:D[/QUOTE]

Thats funny! I agree though, tell us where and we will be happy to verify if it's worth the hassle to argue over!
