The choice is yours to share or not. To each his own for sure. But look at it this way, if you do share the info, and someone "milks" your spot, then that forces you to do what you love best, and figure out another pattern. In the end, you help a fella out with a fishin' spot, and you get to hone your skills by finding another pattern, and probably learning something new in the process. For you guys that love finding the pattern, it should be a win-win.

I really don't expect people to start posting GPS coodinates in public posts, but saying "I caught X-fish in cove-X using X-lure" may just help someone out along the way. If a guy gets on here and asks about GRL, send him a PM, and help him out. I'm telling you, you will get more help from people in the long run than you put in. And help when you need it, is always a good thing.
