I sent a struggling angler to a favorite spot this week , he has asked me before for information .
he found me on social media , I don't really know him .
he went absent for a good while and last week asked me again to help him .
I sent him here and there and then he told me why he hadn't been around in the last few months .
Stage 4 cancer …..so every spot I sent him he still struggled and only managed 1 small crappie at 3 different lakes .
I finally said ok do EXACTLY what I am about to tell you and for sure you will ketch some slabs .
I said this time at this dock at this depth with a live minnow in the exact spot I sent you a map of and bring your ice chest .
later that day he sent me a photo of 5 real nice slabs and a large thank you ….
told me he was a very happy man ….who won in this adventure you ask
both of us for sure ….
so you see I will in fact give it up to select individuals and sometimes I don't worry about messing up a small water body with to much information .
but I wont post the kind of specifics like I gave him on any media platform
if I think you are trying in person to find fish and need help , you holler at me ….I will help
media trolling to find them makes me sad …..
