Very well put gamefisher and MG39. I agree 100%.
Let's face it, I.S. has changed over the years. Do you think its sheer coincidence that we no longer see detailed posts and pics from many of the talented anglers like : Backwater, Buddah, FLAG, MG39, THREECAR, Smeltslayer, Loves To Fish, Bluuu, ALASKANSS and I could go on......... (not meant to slight anybody) Do you really think these guys no longer fish or are no longer catching fish..... come on.I remember how I.S. used to be, you made your posts and nobody chimed in, "hey I know that spot, that's pond________" We also developed a repore with one another before we asked them to "give up the goods".A lot of people have spent a lot of time honing their craft on here, I for one have a lot of respect for that. I have 6-8 guys on here that I'll give up everything I know to (and its a small percent compared to some of these guys) other than that, I'm very cautious now because of the transformation I've seen on here over the years..... The internet in some respects, is not entirely a good thing. Sorry, not meant to offend anyone, just my opinion and observation.
Some cases may be true but for the most part i disagree...I have spent many many days out fishing bye myself and came across spots that were productive...But i can guarantee that other people done the same thing and found that exact spot... When someone says i found a honey hole think about how many other people have the same honey hole.....

The internet in some respects, is not entirely a good thing. Very well said Eric. I.S is a great site, but it certainly can have an effect on some fisheries with some of the postings. But one big positive, at least IMO are some of the people I have met and had the privilege to fish with, JDK, Jacksmelt, MG39, LovesToFish, Gamefisher & the up and coming MGK! Not only are they great people I feel they are some of the most talented fishermen in the state!
I have a "Lake X" but I'm not the only one that fishes there. I think we all do. I wonder if the problem lies with people fishing different places, having good results and posting their success. They don't care because it's not their secret spot, but it might be someone else secret which leads to these little tiffs. As far as lurkers go...lurk away.... I'm no expert nor am I giving away any top secret info....not many are. The majority of the information shared here is pretty generic and can be obtained through a plethora of other sources. Enough with the petty whining.....just fish
Not whining just having a conversation with other I.S. members on a snowy day off from work. sorry if you see it as other than that.
like fish talk and fish porn as much as the next guy, but naming lakes and ponds saying they have tons of great fish is just stupid to me.. If you notice the old timers and legends of this site DONT DO IT...Keep your secrets to yourself... Pm people if you want to help them out... Just my 2 cents... Your thoughts please? Thanks Ed aka Blackduckin?
i'll stick with posting my pictures from "lake x". there's only a select few on here that i trust. i see to many post on here by the newbies or rookies comin out of the gate and havin their first post be something along the lines of..."can you tell me where i should fish on such and such a lake and what bait to use?" my opinion that most people dont like to work for anything anymore. get yer arss out there, drill some holes, and experiment.
Exactly! Everyone gets a bone thrown to them once in awhile but usually you have done something worth the bone before it is thrown. I have gained some excellent knowledge through this site and have been able to help others out as well.
Just my 2 cents Your thoughts please... so I guess thats whining to you... ?? thats asking for a two sided conversation sorry if you think its not..I was looking for you the other day, didn't see anyone around your shack though.. Hope we can still say hello and have tht cup of coffee we talked about.. People can agree to disagree right?? Ed
Some people take this fishin thing way too seriously...
I'm going to eat all my fish by myself too
