One of the reasons I fish is for the solitude. There is nothing compared to the feeling I get when I walk into a spot on a river and no one else is there. I will turn around and go to a different spot if that one is taken because I know what it feels like to get up early just to get to the spot and have the late crowd show up and crash the scene. That is why I started fishing the pennusula 18 years ago. I was reluctant to "kiss and tell" back then. And I am certainly the same now. I have always spent more time scouting than fishing. I believe that you must earn that knowledge. I had to.
