OK, the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help me Fishing Gods!!!
I've been asked kindly not to mention it so I'll keep quiet. There is info all over the internet about this place. Books, reports, blogs, forum threads. If you want to talk about spot burning, well then this place has already been burnt to a crisp. You can't "hotspot" it.
Anyway, I didn't even give a report I just mentioned it as an option.
I received some concerns about a small body of water mentioned in this info thread that has been blown up to the point that it may be permanently damaged. It has been mentioned in the past and the same thing happened then. To try and keep the peace here on the forum I contacted Cotter and explained what was going on, I asked him if he would help to keep the peace and remove the body of fragile water from his post explaining he did not have to since he really didn't cross any lines. To be totally fair to Cotter he did agree to remove it! I thank you Cotter for doing that and hope along the way we all learned something about conservation through this. Thank you again for helping a new member with the given info!
Cotter that's very cool of you to share some info to a new guy, but next time just PM the dude.
^^^^ This!!! Thank you Fordo! One of the best ways to give info on these small bodies of water is by a PM. On the other side the person receiving the info has to realize he is being trusted with this info and not spread it to anybody not trustworthy, word of mouth is the biggest enemy to good things!!!
There are two ways to learn... from others experience or your own. You clearly chose the latter. Funny, with the given subject, I made the same mistake. It doesn't take much. But carry on... learn on your own.
So true! almost all of us here have been burned one way or another over this exact thing, that is where the education should kick in by these members to spread the word instead of belittling the uneducated. I've done the same thing myself but have come to realize we have the best way here to spread the education so why not take advantage of it!!!
What little gem did dude blow up?
Chuckie...I'll just say that at one time it was a lil gem that you prolly know well! If you really want to know PM me!
To noahcr, I'm very sorry your thread got hijacked over your looking for help but like was said, the chances of this happening on your first post is ordinary. I really hope some more members come in with some more info for you even in a PM if need be!
One last bit, this thread was one of the reasons I started the thread about conservation of fragile waters. What I can't understand is it has over 100 looks but only one reply after all the threads lately about this same subject. I have received numerous PM's lately about waters being put on blast but no replies in that thread. The only way to educate is to teach, if there is no teachers why ***** about the problems?
