RB seriously dude. Don't talk about locations unless the OP mentions it first. You did the exact same thing to me here viewtopic.php?f=207&t=20055&p=258403#p258403

I've clearly stated 'A bass straight rock ledge' and you've basically put a sign up to tell people where i'm fishing. You are trolling on a slightly more advanced level by mentioning things like wildlife officers and wind directions to let us know that you know where we're fishing.

If you want land based reports then respect the poeple posting them.

Personally I don’t see a problem with it unless those request no names and be smart enough not to give clues away.
It shouldn't be a matter of being smart enough not to give away clues. It'd be sad if we got to the stage where everything except the fish has to get photoshopped out to stop loud mouthed turds on the internet giving away a spot because they recognise a few rocks.

I'd understand completely if OP doesn't want to share another report here, which is a shame because he's posted some great ones over the years; but if people are going to give away years of hard work learning how and when to fish a spot for no good reason then who can blame him?

Yep.

The spot the spot thread proved nearly every location can be picked by someone on this forum. The whole point of that thread was to prove that just cos you can identify a spot/background doesn’t mean you should inform the masses.

This is elementary **** though. Just basic etiquette.

I'm a 'local' and have fished that area for 25 years and only caught 1 kingie in all that time.

Just because you know the location doesn't mean you'll get the fish.

Oh, also a reminder for any fishos who venture there: please take your crap home with you as I'm getting a bit tired of cleaning up after you.

Cheers,

Mike.

Revealing someones spot without them actually publically saying so is a d*ck move
