If you are having to buy waypoints should you really be an Elite pro?

Dan Steroids are illegal in every major professional league though and when they test positive they get punished. Honestly if a guy us gonna by wayponts he might as well just idle around each day and use the bent pole pattern I bet if both leagues started handing out suspensions and bans for some of the rules breaking a lot of it would stop.

I bet if both leagues started handing out suspensions and bans for some of the rules breaking a lot of it would stop. And yet 4 or 5 guys in every sport get popped for steroids every season... Only 1 strike lifetime bans would stop it... Maybe... If KVD came out tomorrow and said it was monthly steroids shots that helped him focus, recover and get him through the grind every fisherman on the pro circuit would be bending over and getting shot in the arse... It's been illegal to buy/ get info for years but it's still a problem... Guys will always look for something, being it a shot, a drink or some other miracle concoction to get the "edge". Watch the NFL tomorrow when they show guys sitting on the bench. They'll be drinking something out of a Gatorade bottle with the label peeled off and it be pink, red or some other color... It's a drink someone said will give them an edge that Gatorade or Powerade doesn't give them... Dan

I don’t know of any local tournament angler that hasn’t asked a buddy for a spot or two before a tournament

I don’t know of any local tournament angler that hasn’t asked a buddy for a spot or two before a tournament I don't know many local tournament anglers fishing the Elites either. It's apples and oranges. Sharing spots with a buddy is a huge difference from scouring the internet and buying them. Especially when some rules are in place that may prohibit that. A lot want to complain about the current state of pro fishing but then ignore some of what could possibly be one of the issues affecting things.

BASS announced the no info rule goes into affect Jan 1, so it’s a free for all until then. Already seeing guides posting dots for sale  I don’t see any lack of drama next year!  Josh Jones has some dots for sale if interested! Josh Jones waypoints would be worthless. He chases open water fish that don’t hang on any one spot! They would be the equivalent of buying a map of where birds hang out in the air. How come he bitches about the local "hole buzzards"  Thought it was “blood sucking guides”?

... 4-5 out of thousands of guys is not crazy high numbers. Not at all... How many guys are buying waypoints???... If a guy wants to put in the time and money to buy waypoints or build a network of friends/ anglers more power to him... Dan

I would have to pay someone to take my waypoints....   I was going to say something similar. Who would want my waypoints. They sure don't seem to help me when I need them to. AHAHAHAHAHA
