Guess the moral of the story is don't ask and don't share anything that could help others in fear they will come poach or catch all the fish. Amazing.

My original question was innocent and just looking for general info before friends of friends started piling on while already benefiting from the same useful info about how dare I ask such a question.

I just don't think claiming to be concerned about a specie while fishing for it day in and out is logical. Assuming the rest don't care is also not logical. I volunteer every week at the WSB pens and educate others I meet about sizes and limits. But hey make assumptions.

Me, I will continue to offer any info to guys I meet, post when I finally get something worth a gaff and help newbies out as I haven't forgotten yet that I used to be one.

Thanks Yanni. Hope to see you on the water in a few weeks when in down there.

Momo, don't take it personal. problem is there are tons of lurkers. post a ghost bite location and in the next day or two the whole PB fleet is there. Same thing happens with lobster honeyholes.

Thank you for working the grow out pens and doing your part.

Most of the people on here get on the water more in a month than I do all year. Every once in a while I get a nugget of info thrown my way, which I am grateful for. Yes, I would love to bring home more fish. But, for me at least, it is about spending time on the water and meeting people that I share the interest with that I would most likely never have otherwise crossed paths with.

I post info I can, and share what I think is worth sharing. This topic comes up every year or so and some people get understandably frustrated that they see pics of the prizes they pursue. I get it. Not going to say how long it has been since I boated a yellow. Yet to get my first kayak ghost. Flatties are hit-and-miss. If it happens with some shared intel, then so be it. But I am not going to count on someone doing the homework for me - and I am not saying you are asking for that.

Keep in touch with people you meet on the water. Share bait, sabikis, whatever. Share where you found a good bait ball of greenbacks fifteen minutes ago and were able to fill your tank.

You will catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.

WOW, I just read that old thread and I posted as a newbie 3 years ago. What have I learned in three years....

In order of most important ..

Time on the water

Make friends and share fish reports with them

Research on this forum, there is a vast wealth of knowledge on this site.

Learn how to read between the lines on posts and be able to pick up key information. As an example, this thread has some really good information that I learned by just reading it.

Share knowledge with newbies ESPECIALLY the ones you meet ON The Water or at the launch site.

And by far the most important ...... Have FUN !!!!!!!!!!



Oh and Greg awesome video and a very nice tasty fish .....
