Giving It Away Or Keep It To Yourself ?

[CDMeyer]

It all depends on what I am throwing, if the bait is expensive I usually keep it to myself, unless it is family or in a tournament

Yeah, I'm a firm believer that any idea I come up with has already been thought of 100 times.  I will say that back in college, there was (I guess there still is lol) a small pond in a park with soccer fields that me and my roommates fished at.  We never once in three years saw anyone there except for bucket heads.  Do I think we were the only people in all of CT that seriously fished that lake?  No, but I never saw anyone either.  We all caught bass over 6 pounds from shore there and I believe that there are state record-ish fish in there to be had by boat.  It's also been 25 years so I would be curious to go back there and see what it's like.

If you'd like to let me know where it is I can check it out and report back to you. Lol

I have a immense collection of soft plastics and I'm always keeping and eye out for a kid who can use a few. It's fun giving them a type or style theyve never seen.

It really depends on the situation. I'm usually free with the info. If it weren't for those who've helped me, I'd be hapless on the water. Haha I think I still am. But on rare occasion I've found I am tight lipped.

Depends.

 

In April, I was bank fishing a pretty large reservoir and catching some pretty nice fish. Every now and then, someone would pull up to where I was fishing on their bass boat, and they'd usually ask how I was doing. I'd tell them I was getting skunked, only because they had the whole reservoir at their disposal and I was limited with where I could go. Didn't really want them hanging around longer than they had to.

 

Now, if someone fishing the bank had asked me the same question, I would have been honest with them, because they aren't going to get in the way of my casts.

I've seen this and given away the rest of my bait because I was done for the day anyway.
