I know the value of the PM and have used it some.

Any thoughts?

I think quite a bit. I know in terms of sharing specific spots it is probably primarily used - I hold several spots for myslef but for the most I will share. If someone asks for information on Ky lake - I don't see the problem posting on the board that they are biting on ledges in the mouths of bays that drop from 10 - 20 feet, on plum colored large worms. I don't see why anyone would want to view that as top secret info. But if someone says they are going to Ky lake for the first time and don't have a clue where to start - I may PM them and tell them some of my favorite spots and maybe tell them exactly how I have been successful fishing them. I just see that as helping someone out - and trying to help them have a good time on the water. Hopefully they can have some luck at those spots, and look at a map and find others similar to that and have success there too.

Just like someone else said - the only spots I am not willing to share with someone, are spots that were shown to me by someone else, that aren't really community holes.

None of us are professionals (or at least I think). Everyone has something to learn - and that is the point of this board - to ask questions and share some info.
