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.

pretty well said,if you don't want somebody to fish a spot don't tell them,but somebody else probablly is hittin it anyways..me and few tourney buddies i have fished with over the years do it like this,if it is tournament day and we are all there we know whos is whos,we don't fish each others told places even if we aren't on them at the time.if we are just fun fishin alot of time we fish all the places together so we can yell a little...i love when people say man that's my spot...

THERE ALL MY SPOTS AND YOU SORRY SACKS STAY OFF OF EM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL.












Im a real hot head when its comes to this subject but only when someone pulls on top of where im throwing or trys to crowd me out,its a sickness i know but im working on it.Bud the river is full of folks who will just pull up next to you and poop on your boat.Ok not really but you feel crapped on.

O.k back to the subject.If someones in a spot i show them ill pull right up next to them,shoot the breeze and may pass a cold one.Because if i showed you a spot your a good guy and a friend.If i dont know you and your in a spot i like to fish-AKA-my spot-I say a few choice words to myself and go to the next one,no big deal.I will never pull on someone and cast all over them.its not right and i cant tolerate it done to me.

To move out of a spot i was in first because you showed it to me or you have river seniority lololollolololol,just plain aint gonna happen....

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.

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!
