looking to try something new --all info appreciated

I remember when I was young a guy letting me fish a small lake one time out of his jon boat and I caught a bunch of fish. Afterward I stopped by to thank him and tell him what a good day I had. He said, "Any time, just don't tell anyone about our great little fishing hole. If you do, they will want to come here and before long it won't be our great little fishing hole."

I don't tell anyone else what to do, but I don't feel the need to tell everyone about 500 acre lakes. They aren't secret, but they also aren't known by everyone in a 500 mile radius.

I remember the same type of thing happening back when I was in college to Lake Dunlap. Me and my buddies caught some giants out of there for a few years. We did our part to keep it hush hush for as long as we could. It started to gain popularity after several people started getting on various forums posting up pics and storys of the big fish they caught. I guess some people crave the recognition. Before long it had tournamnets out there every weekend and you couldn't even find a parking space at the ramp during the week. It was hard enough to fish due to wake board boats and the fact that it's a tiny lake that's pretty narrow. It was death by internet for sure. I am not sure how it fishes now, but I know I will never forget the big bags we used to pull out of there.

Didn't help that Phil Marks and Jordan Lee filmed a show that aired couple weeks ago from Kurth and were pulling melons out of there. The flock will definitely start migrating that way for a while. Lufkin should probably put a boat limit on there if one does not already exist.
