I'm sure it's all in fun, but it appears sometimes that some folks do consider public waters their private domain. Don't worry about it.

Ok, well to all of the people that are offended by us not posting directions to our honey-holes, I have a suggestion: Once you spend many fruitless hours on unfamiliar waters searching for fish that seem to be non-existent, and the day finally comes that you luck into a spot that is loaded with hungry fish, be sure to give a detailed report on here about what lake you caught them on and how to get to the spot. Remember, merely stating how you caught them, what depth, what bait, what color, and what type of structure, isn't near enough info for the guys that never post ANYTHING whatsoever, except to complain about how terrible the Arkansas board has gotten. That way, the next time you hit your newfound honey hole, it will be loaded with so many people that you can't even squeeze your boat in. I have experienced this. So has Russ, Midsouth Man, ABH, Crappie Greg, and a lot of other guys that hardly ever post anymore because of this very thing.

You just need to learn the lake codes XYZ . Just joking but it does get out of hand with the upside down pryamid '' everyone shares with a few buddies and those share and so on.''

Interesting popper you say that you have almost left the site and caught more fish in the last few years. If that is the case why not join the rest of us guys that do post on our success? You can label your lake anything you want to too.

Seems like everyone thinks there is a secret group when in reality the only one's posting frequently are the ones that fish together or on the same bodies of water.

Remember no one is forcing you to open the browser and look here and read our posts.

I will say this and I do see everybody's side of the story here ... If a man cant fish but once or twice a month or whatever time he does have I would suggest to them to use their fishing sonar and locate some brush piles and go to trying different colored jigs u have read and seen these fellas use The cove from now till they spawn is as good a spot to find a fish as any And I promise from trial and error you will learn more than what you read last week (hopefully anyway I still cant decrypt that code) but no matter how much info they might put out there at the end of the day they still can't catch them fish for you too I think we just need to put our big boy underwear on and go fish I have ate crappie dinner four different times this yr and yea I made a post trying to get the easy hey boys where y'all killing em at? Crickets ya hear em.... I did Didn't slow me down a bit. I put my head down and went to fishing I ain't brought home a full limit yet this yr but I have ate fish and for me that's what it's all about

Correction. No one is asking for directions to your or anyone else's honey holes. Just real lake names. Shouldn't be too difficult.
