Keeping Secrets

[Rudypoo4444]

As far as teaching someone general fishing information I think most people willingly share that, but to get so defined and personal as to "what they do" or "where they do it" has many reasons to stay private. Consider the hard work involved, it's more fun to achieve success off your own knowledge, and most of the time you just cannot do what the other guy did anyway. It just doesn't work that way. I don't even ask that information because most of the time they "don't know what they are doing anyway"!
Just my opinion.

The only thing I have to share right now is that on ky lake I have the best success with bass using live minnows, and immitations with ultralight.

And BINGO.... This attitude is what is making fishing go down the tubes. When fishing gets to be "hard work", I will quit fishing.

Fishing is supposed to be fun, relaxing, and enjoyable. When it gets to be "hard work", and you have to try and sneak around fishing sites telling people you have a honey hole, but you aren't telling where ect....., the fun has been thrown out the window.

I'll share info with anyone, anytime, anywhere. I just don't care. I like to see people out having a good time fishing. I'll keep a spot to myself if someone showed me the spot, and asked me to keep it to myself, out of respect for their wishes, but that is the extent of my secrete keeping.

If you want to keep secrets, join the CIA. Otherwise, if you want to fish and have a good time, do it, and share the knowledge for those people new to the sport or the area. The rewards for helping others out usually have bigger payoffs anyway.

honestly i would share with anyone on this board whatever i could to help out with there fishing trip but i understand some not wanting to share. for tourney fisherman and guides i completely understand, some are actually doing this for a living and if they shared everything they knew than i feel it would defeat the purpose of what they do. i try not to ask too much info when asking what someone did to have a stellar day of fishin just some of the basics.
