Banner Day!

Actually, I challenge everyone here to go to your profile and fill it out.  Write a bio.  Nothing fancy.  Most of you guys are invested in this site...  I think it's a good idea.  I'd enjoy reading them at least.

I'm pretty liberal when it comes to giving out information in the warmer months. Fish move around a lot and things change frequently. I've served up, what I thought, was a home run pattern to many people when they have asked me about how I was catching fish only for them to go out and not catch squat. That is why I'm not too concerned with posting a report or giving some advice to somebody during this time of year.

Winter fishing is a different story. I won't divulge that to just anybody unless it is trout or crappie.

Fair enough Phil. Thanks for the fair handed response.

I have fished rivers and streams for bass all my life. I only fish for bass. I enjoy catching all 3 species. Of course spots are my least favorite, but I don't throw them on the bank. Strictly catch and release.

I use baitcasters, occasionally a spinning rod but not very often.  As for where I fish.....I tell no one....except the couple of guys I fish with.

I don't care if guys blab about their fishing spots on the board, I don't like it if it happens to be one of my spots also. I could tell lots of guys about the same spot too and hurt that guys fishing like he does mine. But I don't.  Just wish they would do the same.

It doesn't bother me at all when guys talk about tactics or lures. I don't even mind if they post pics as long as they aren't giving away a spot. It gets on my nerves when I read post after post of self serving dribble as some guys try to convince us how much of an "Expert" angler they are.

I don't fish the Meramec very much, just standing up for some of the guys that do.

When you blab about a fishing spot, you don't effect just yourself....you may affect another guy who that is his favorite spot.   Did anyone ever think about that?

And Phil, I love the website, I read it all the time. I don't dislike the board. It is always interesting reading.

This is a place where guys gather to talk about fishing...and stuff.  The fact that anyone who wants to can eavesdrop AND JOIN IN is kinda cool I think.  

If any of us give away any info that you have been holding tightly under your hat then you might need to up your game a bit.    If a 50 fish day is merely average for you then how has this "disrespectful sharing of Intel" affected you or the places you fish?  

I've had the cringe effect several times when someone "blabbed" something that I was kinda keeping to myself, but honestly as I look back I can't say that the so called blabbing has ever caused anything negative to happen.   Not even once.

I can't figure out how the subject got twisted from Hog Wally posting pics of the fish he caught, and someone giving out detailed information?!?! Hog Wally never said a word about where he was...All he said was topwater.
