Anyone can sit up on the hill and watch you fish and see your spots. Otter Pit's fishing spots can all be seen if people are looking your way. The North End can be seen from the parking lot on the North end of Kansas Road. Then any where along Euler Road people can see you fishing. And the South Parking lot area has good visibility of most of the southern part of the pit. Same with Bluegrass Pit. From up on Dittey Hill people can see you fishing most of the Northern Part of the Pit. Now if you get in the H area other boaters can easily see where you are fishing and figure out you good spots. Many times I've was fishing in one of my favorite spots during the week days when it was not crowded and someone would pass by me in a boat an before I knew it they were fishing that same spot the next time I went there. Now there are not that many ledges that have flats going out to the drop off from the bank like this one so I'm sure that other's have found this spot. These days almost every good fisherman has a digital map on their GPS/Sonar and or side imaging with built in digital maps of the lake or some type of Auto Chart Live on their Humminbird Depth Finders.
When the lakes you fish are less than 220 acres in size and surrounded by roads it's hard to keep your fishing spot a secrete. Especially on the weekends when the lake is packed with so many other people.


QUOTE=GeoFisher;559992]It's a double edged sword......you don't want to post about your spots, but you DO want folks to be fishing.

Fishing and Hunting in general are down, which is why funding is down. If you want more funding, including licenses, and directed taxes, people MUST use the resource.

Wishing people will fish, but not fish your spot, which was SPECIFICALLY created to get people involved in that region, defeats the purpose.

I understand........I completely UNDERSTAND, but maybe the "over crowding" will lead to more state waters, which is GREAT.[/QUOTE]
