The best way to ruin a good fishin' hole is to tell the world.

No one is asking for a fishing hole.....its the idea that you can't even say what part of the lake, or what type of lure, or what type of structure....there is A LOT of water out there, help a brother out by narrowing it down some....just my .02

To each their own though, IMO. Oh yeah...and I didn't get to go to Nolin today, daughter woke up sick and the wife had to work....so I'm babysitting today. I'll get up there next week fo sho.

This has nothing to do with you calm waters...just a general thing.

I know nolin was on fire last weekend because i talked to a freind that said he fished from wax bridge to the first island sat. And fished with white buzzbait in the morning and caught 2 over 5 lbs. A few more 2-3 lbs with a total for the day of 30. Man i wish i wouldnt have had to work last weekend because i would have been down there at my lot. He said in early afternoon switched to spinnerbaits and rattletraps and picked right up after the buzzbait bite slowed. I hate to miss weekends like that at nolin. It dont give up big ones like that very often. And to hear of 4 5 lber's in one day is great. Oh well maybe ill be there the next hot day ! Later jc

I used to share advice exclusively on this site until I was burned a few times. Not just by tournament fishermen, but by telling a friend. Then he told his friend who told his other friend who told his mailman who told his uncle. Not really, but you get the idea. Hell, I ran my post count up with advice........

I also noticed a very combative attitude regarding people helping me out once I gave them some information. Today's society expects you to scratch their backs, but none want to scratch yours from time to time. I don't mean to sound selfish -- I'm not a selfish person. I would give you the shirt off my back if you needed it. But to this day, I still won't give out any more of my spots or lures.

Like I said, I don't mean to sound selfish but I got tired of helping and never being helped. For the record, I don't look for handouts. To tell you the truth I don't even frequent this site much anymore for that reason. I really don't mind helping someone who is learning and wants to learn more about the sport. I just don't care giving out spots that I have worked hard to find so someone else can cash a check on it.

Teach each their own....

I guess I don't look at fishing as serious as some...fishing is just fishing to me..it's sole purpose is to be fun. I could understand how people could be that way if it is their livelyhood or something, but for me....it's just recreation.

I'll even tell you what club I hit on #3 @ crosswinds, because I know I'm not going pro...LOL!
