he's a bit green stonefish, don't think he gets your point...

Unfortunately, it has gotten more and more to be the case that folks have to learn the hard way. Instead of having a fishing buddy or mentor that brings someone along and teaches them the right way to go about these things. People are now culling the widely shared info and then offering it in a likewise manner. Then they complain about how much more crowded their favorite spot is than it used to be...

Only one fix: If you have kids, teach them the right way. If you don't, mentor someone who needs guidance. this is part of being a complete angler - in my opinion.
