Honestly it isn't a big deal. All fisherman should 1) Use Google Maps to find water, and 2) go fish that water. If you follow this pattern you will find fish. Fishing is a journey, that may be my favorite thing about it... the adventure... the risks of being skunked. Using that 1 - 2 step process I've discovered some spectacular spots that will stay with me and my closest friends! I hope you will to . All of us eventually do.

You tell one guy your specific spot, they tell 5 other people and those people tell 5 other people each. So now 27 people want to fish where only 1 guy wanted to fish. Maybe that other guy doesn't tell 5 people, but other people see him fishing there. That's more exposure.... any angler who sees him fishing there will try it out too.

Sharing is caring... but I guess in the fishing world it can go wrong... very wrong.

You should participate in Giuga10's pond project http://ontarioshorefishing.com/forum/Thr...nd-Project

Guiga10, I've wondered this before and a lot of people have told me:

The big fish are the hardest to catch. Small fish are like hungry teenagers and will feed all day and feed on anything. Big fish are more temperamental, pickier, and thus harder to catch. There are also less of them.

So, I guess it takes a lot more know-how to catch the big fish. I haven't figured it out yet... and haven't bothered to yet because I've been focused on just catching ANYthing lol
