Really seems like a waste of energy to get all bent out of shape about this. Seems like people get to thinking they own stuff, like spots, and structure they build. If you think you own the spot, then you should have told your friends that before you showed them, and tell them they can only fish it this one time, because it belongs to you. Ridiculous.

I JUST BELIEVE THAT EVERYONE SHOULD PUT THERE TIME AND MONEY INTO GOING AND FINDING THERE OWN FISH AND HOW TO FISH. I WAS TRYING TO HELP THEM LEARN . THEY WERE NOT INTERESTED IN LEARNING ANYTHING. JUST USING MY KNOWLEDGE AND TIME ON THE WATER TO FIND THE FISH SO THEY DIDNT HAVE TO. I THINK THAT IS ABOUT AS SORRY AN INDIVIDUAL THAT THERE IS. IF THEY HAD FIGURED IT OUT OWN THERE OWN IT WOULD BE ONE THING. ALSO I TOLD THEM UP FRONT I WOULD SHOW THEM HOW AND WHAT TO LOOK FOR SO THEY COULD FIND THEIR OWN FISH. THEY WERE HAPPY WITH THAT. I THEY HAD TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE NOT GOING TO TAKE THAT KNOWLEDGE AND HUNT THEIR OWN PLACES. THAT THEY WERE JUST GOING TO FISH THE PLACES THAT I HAD SHOWN THEM . THEN I WOULD NOT HAVE TAKEN THEM. SO THEY LIED... I HATE A LIAR OR A THIEF. SOMEONE THAT IS TO LAZY TO GET OUT AND FIND THEIR OWN PLACES TO FISH..... SHOULD NOT BE FISHING.

I have fished a lot of spots FRIENDS have showed me. Don't think they mind a bit. If I was fishing one of those spots and the friend showed up, I would have the courtesy to move unless asked to stay. Good Fishin

Thanks for the kind words fellows.

My rule is if you can see it than you are welcome to fish it.
Now as far as submerged keep em to yourself.:D:D
