Do you think going public about a great day of fishing is right or wrong?

There is a major brouhaha going on in the northeast right now over a fishing report posted on a fishing website. The anti-report crowd are angry because they say the report leads to shoulder to shoulder fishing. The pro-report crowd says that no matter what the report says, people need to know how, and exactly where to fish, to catch.

Background: Shore-bound saltwater fisherman in the northeast target two species. Stripers and Bluefish, which are both migratory. Starting in early April the anticipation of the fishes arrival at a famous location, one that books have been written about, starts to grow. The big fish always arrive in May, or at the latest, the first new moon in June. Of course the exact day changes year to year, but it usually happens the last minus tides in May and lasts for 2-3 days. It's a fish blitz, mayhem, every cast hooking up a 20-40 pound Striper.

Last Wednesday: a captain of a 26 foot boat that takes 4 clients out at a time, made the report. The capt puts in his time, he is not an amateur. He started marking fish a couple of weeks ago and predicted the day they would arrive in the famous location, and posted his opinion. On the day in question, he left his boat docked and surfcasted from shore and caught and released 50+ fish. That afternoon he posted his success.

Now, half the surfcasting community wants his head on the chopping block for tipping off lurkers that the fish have arrived.

What's your opinion on this situation?

It's impossible to keep any good hunting or fishing spot a secret. Someone will always report a good day. But to complain too much when someone lets the cat out of the bag, would seem to be a little greedy, don't you think?

there are dissimilar family individuals canines that have a wolfish visual attraction. very few of those actual have any wolf interior the mixture in any respect, and this canine grew to become into possibly in straight forward terms a shepherd mixture, in line with hazard with some Malamute or certainly one of the different arctic breeds. do not decide an animal by that's visual attraction. Did the canine exhibit aggressive behaviors? If not, then MYOB. If the animal makes you uncomfortable, go the line.

Sounds like Lake Casitas in the late fall to early spring months when they're stocking hatcher rainbow trout...
