14 January, K Dock

Chasing someone else's fish is one of the most frustrating things that I have ever done. Duplicating is a little easier while trolling, but it can still be hard to achieve the same results.

I was the one that informed everyone about umbrella rigs and jigs with plastic worms. Once the bass fisherman read about it, they started calling them A rigs and Ned rigs and tried to tell everyone they invented them.

I invented the Internet. Just sayin.

The world isn't ending. Crappie & white bass are prolific enough that fishing isn't going to effect the population. And as for the walleye on BS "they're stocked". The MDC can stock a million 5 instead of a million.

ranger and AA, please share with us one of your favorite spots to target if you don't mind sharing spots. Please be specific....a dock, brush pile, or something of that nature. I need some new spots to hit this weekend. Thanks.

Topic under this one labeled "1/5 1/6 beaver creek" I gave an exact bank with pics of even the baits I was using

Well I appreciate all the comments even the really negative ones. Maybe some of you should go back and read the spirit of my post. DD wasn't offended because he read the post as it was meant to be read. And Phil I have huge respect for you but your post back to me I thought was a little more than observation, but didn't offend me in the least. Just so you know we obviously did not keep 150 and in the subsequent trips threw back pretty much everything. I love OA and what you and others share with us.
I will leave this last thought for anyone not tired of this thread. If I happen upon a brush,pile or a certain contour, our feeding highway that is relatively unknown and believe me they are out there and you good fisherman know it, they aren't unknown to everyone but I know you are happy to read I wont be putting that out there. I know most of you are saying thanks. I messed up once and I have learned from my mistake. I hope you all have great success this weekend and you share a secret with someone and a great technique. Phil and others thanks for OA, and to a couple of others I am going to try and go get a life and invent Tom Mann Grape Jelly worms with a pink fire tail on Stren 8lb test and a whippy zebco rod with a 600 fastened to it walking the peninsula of Mill Creek . Man I miss those days!

Thanks cap'n dan. Miss the old zebco's.

I've told this story before. Years ago when BS was really, really low, we were fishing up close to Powersite Dam, walking in at Silver Creek and catching whites and walleye. Vince found a good spot, fishing/wading at night down from the creek and catching some really nice walleye. He had the place to himself. He told me, I posted it on the forum, and the next night he had company... quite a bit of company. And he let me know about it.

Vince was my best friend, bestest fishing buddy. I learned a good lesson not to give spots up unless giving it up only affected me and me alone. Of course that doesn't really go for Taneycomo because it's part of my job as resort/marina owner and promoter to share all I can to get anglers into trout here on Taney. But I'm careful with what people tell me in confidence, especially during winter tournaments.

I shared this story at his funeral a few years back. He died of brain cancer.

Glad we all can discuss this openly without all the drama. And may be this thread will draw out a few more members to share their knowledge with others, without giving out spots...
