common courtesy is just like common sense, it is long gone!

I think there is a core set of people monitoring this site all the time, many just come here for quick info and move on. So they are unlikely to respond.

If you want a response ask for it. Information on this site is free, if you give it up, you should expect nothing in return. Kinda like the whole co angler and gas money threads.

Real problems of the TFF.

Pretty much says it all!
There are a ton of lurkers on this forum, and if you post anything it's out there for anyone.
You don't know the guy who you are responding to, and he doesn't know you in all probability, so any information you give is one and done.
The guys who come back and thank you are a bonus, and probably good guys you would want to fish with.
Look at some of the fishing reports and you'll see very few responses, but there may be over a thousand or so views.
Everyone is watching, so like mentioned, if you want a response you have to ask for it.

I don't know how much more blunt you can be by saying "LET ME KNOW HOW YOU DO". Seems pretty clear.

You're a good man Okie. Glad to call you Friend

I give out a TON of fishin info because I like to help folks. I like to teach. If I had to go by myself I would never go. I get as stoked seeing someone catch a big fish as I do catching it myself.

Many times when I give info I don't receive any confirmation of how they did. I think it is because they most likely went out and didn't do too well. Told one of my TFF buds where to go yesterday and even what tree to tie to. He will respond but most likely not on here.

I'll respond Ken but I'm not going to share your ( now our ) spot and technique with anyone. You know you're going to get pics, I always send you some no matter where I catch'em. I have and will share some of my own spots that are not presently being used. I gave out precise directions to 4 of my brush piles on Texoma last year. Never heard back from them which was disappointing. I was hoping they did well and would share how it went. I've shared info on many of the lakes I fish, PK, Bridgeport, Welsh, Tawakoni, Cedar Creek and RC. but it's usually through PM. I don't think it's right to broadcast it on here when there's a possible tournament happening that weekend. They'll have to find those fish on there own.

I do not freely give up info that has taken me years of my time to learn, but I do offer it to those who I feel would do the same for others.

So basically if I do not know you or know "of you" and your character, I am probably not giving much past basic info.

Dear Ken and Douglas,

I will soon be taking a boat load of orphans and underprivileged kids fishing on Fork. Please give up your top 5 spots for the kids. They need a pick me up in life. Thanks for helping kids. I�m grateful

Fish the shoreline in Glade creek Frank, hardly anyone fishes in there and it's loaded with bass. Please don't share this though.

It�s a ghost town

Birch is also one of my secrets. The secret spot Ken gave me was the boat ramp at Lake Fork Marina. He said it's the best during the Big Bass Splash.

6 Flags

Will have to try that.

I'll see you there!
