Sounds like this thread is all about secrets places no one likes to give out. I agree up to an extent. My fishing expeditions consist mainly salt water so having to tell people what area I got the fish from is fine by me, especially when you get back to the boat launch and Slim has to ask all the bio's, time started, time quit, etc., but I do fish rivers for fillers and understand some of the hush-hush. Course in any type of fishing, it's not what you use but "HOW YOU USE IT". Never fails when you pop fish out of a spot and nobody is around for hundreds of feet, then pretty soon you have people trying to fish the same piece of realty or water. Good-gracious, have a clue!!!! Some people don't know how to read the water, which is probably 80% of what gets fish, or don't know how to fish the tide rips. Ever watch the person knocking-em dead on fish and your using the same set up and color but ain't getting sh!t? TECHNIQUE, TECHNIQUE, TECHNIQUE. That's why everyone can post what they've used to entice the fish to bite, but exactly where and how to, well, that's where the fun begins. Gratification of figuring out how makes it all worth the while. The real secret I'd really like to know is what kinda beer gooose drinks during and after a good day of fish'n. I think that's what makes a day of fishing successful.
