I just got a very interesting private message on a different online fishing forum. Im not gonna let this guy or any other guys out there discourage me from posting reports. I may have been posting a lot of them lately, but we've had some good video and pictures of winter steelhead! So i want to get your guy's thoughts on this. Ill tell you how i feel. I could care less if the entire state of oregon knows where i fish. They could goto the same spot with the same technique and still not get into them. Fishing isn't just knowing where fish were caught. You gotta have a lot of things going in your favor to get the fish to take your offering. Well here's the PM i got this evening after i got home from a skunk outing.
"Just want you to know in advance... It might seem great to you to show your fish to everyone and get praises for how well your doing... There are LOTS of lurkers for info on where people are catching fish. I assure you that you are ******* A LOT of people off because everyone who reads what you put on ALL OF THE WEBSITES then it get VERY CROWDED where you are fishing. I have seen you many times on the water... Showing your fish might be great... But be curtious to everyone else out there that is putting time in on the water to find fish and everyone is there, people all fish different and when there becomes enough in a stretch of river there are LOTS of fights... Just remember that everyone knows who you are and it might start to show quite a bit by how people interact with you. Seen a few guys get the crap kicked out of them for their INTERNET REPORTS... I don't care either way but it is going to get VERY CROWDED WHERE YOU FISH by putting where you are on ALL websites. Congrats on your success"
