Experienced the same thing when I used to bass fish. Was in a club for long time years ago and club members wouldn't even share amongst themselves. This site is great I have learned so much in the short time I've been on here and not just the fishing portion. What I have found is there are hundreds of guys just waiting for you to ask a question so they can help you out. And you can have a disagreement and still people on here will put it behind and keep on keeping on.
