Slider,
You & Sal.Head have hit on a thing that has been around for as long as fishing, whether th share fishing info and "secrets". Now it's an issue with the net info age. I figure that many fishermen are by human nature greedy and hypocritical when it comes to info. They want others to give them info but don't want to turn around and help someone else. If that successful fisherman gave out some info to a stranger (Sal.Head) then it was NOT a secret!!! If info was given to a partner with a pre agreement to keep it mum then that IS a secret that should be kept. As far as some readers like you Slider that dis someone for giving out fishing info to the public you have your head in the sand or up your a** because there is NOTHING wrong with helping less opportunistic fishermen to learn to better enjoy some success. If you think spreading info publicly isn't "cool" that's your opinion and your problem. If you have discovered a secret and want to keep it to yourself that's perfectly fine. Bottom line is that most serious fishermen & hunters want all the secrets to themselves if possible and it's an ingrained mentality that is understandable and fine. But make no mistake it is based on selfish greed, ego, & even arrogance. There is no right or wrong here, except when the selfish put down someone for helping others learn. ..shtick
