Over the last two months I've PM'd several guys who needed help on lakes they were either new to or struggling. You never know who is just "fishing " for tourney info, but I tend to be a glass half full guy. The last Yahoo I gave very specific details of a great prespawn spot on Joe Pool. Not much of a response or thanks. When I've asked for help, Ive ALWAYS responded and always replied back how I did afterwards. Is that too much to ask?

Not at all. But sometimes people get busy and forget.

I've done the same thing giving specific details on the how and where and sometimes not gotten much back. It is what it is.

There was a thread a while back about, 'do you not respond to a thread and move on'? This is exactly why I move on at times. There just isn't any respect anymore. Cheers,  George

Common Courtesy is a thing of the past. Its been replaced with "The world revolves around me, so get out of my way!"

No it's not. "one and done" is my motto when helping folks who don't return the favor or a thanks.

I really havent helped much with fishing spots on here. Try to help with guys having boat issues. They seam to be thankful. A guy who want to know where to catch fish I really dont respond to much except with general info. To me figuring them out is the fun part. If someone tells me where to go and what to throw.. I feel I caught their fish. Just me thinking. But the attitude with fisherman blowing up in a cove Im fishing. Jumping in front of you. Making 20 cast or sometimes just a big circle kills me. No respect anymore. Sad days for sure.

The less I expect from others, the less I will be disappointed. It is sad but it is what it is.

Not too much to ask at all! Funny, one of the guys who responded above is notorious for begging for info and giving no thanks in return. Lol!
