Thanks, Ms. M, but I don't need the locations; I doubt I'd utilize that fishery.

I didn't mean to make a big deal about it, and didn't realize that it was such a small fishery. I thought there were several locations around the Sound with net pens.

As far as zipperlips, I think the common mantra of "how to always, where to never" is backwards.

I'd rather someone tell me where I can find some fish and let me figure out the how-to on my own. That to me is the real and true challenge of fishing; convincing a fish to take my offering. If people are so concerned with fishing in solitude, there are miles upon miles of water to wet a line, albeit devoid of fish. But me, I'm not into the needle-in-a-haystack approach.

I don't mind sharing a hole with someone - I enjoy the commraderie. Plus it makes the challenge all that much greater trying to convince the fish to take my offering versus the others' plying the waters.

I think much (but not all) of the zipperlip mentality speaks of a glutenous, selfish chest-thumping "I-got-something-you-aint-got" trait that is a derivitive of overcrowding on our waters.
