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.

I've probably helped 10-15 people out on this board this year alone....I even went fishing with a guy who asked for help before a tournament....Everytime I've been asked for help I've told them the baits I've been using and the pattern I've been catching them on...I didn't tell them to go fish this brushpile or that cove but gave them a good place to start and what baits had been working for me....
