Hey Herb
I remember vividly when all of the GPS locations of cover at CJ were made public.
We dropped cover one year and the ODNR thought it would be a good idea to share...once word started traveling from those who "were gonna keep it quiet", along with the maps the ODNR handed out....this turned into a nightmare.
CJ was busier than it ever was that year, I have never seen so many out of State plates...people sat on that cover 24/7.
People acting got into fights about "fishing rights", they pushed handicapped people off of the "handicapped platforms"!
Cops were called many times due to the FIST FIGHTS over fishing spots...you couldn't take kids due to the bad language, bad actions, and crowds....boaters were even worse! It's amazing how brave people are sitting in a boat!
They tore out/up cover because "they lost lures", or it was in the wrong place, and moved it because they couldn't fish on it.
The cover or areas that were supposed to "help the lake", ended up hurting the fishery.
The best part of the story was that all of those GPS areas had only Christmas trees, so they are gone, and those areas were never loaded up with permanent or long lasting cover.
It's sad that everyone out there thinks they are "owed something" and "has to get there's while the getting is good"! I guess it's the new Era of "getting mine"!
I have seen the bad from given out GPS locations....no good can ever come from it.
Spend some of your time finding spots, then keep them quiet...things are much better.
