Agree with both of the above, difficult to keep a good spot "secret" . In this day in time, you could try to keep a spot exclusive but you're better off running full speed into a brickwall expecting not to get a headache bang
The beauty of blues IMHO, is that the weather has a great deal in deciding where they may likely be.Timing can be of the essence. Sometimes when we pull up on a spot, we know as good, and allready find somebody there it forces us to try some different spots or different lakes and it makes us better fishermen.

It just sucks man, not much you can do about it though. Find more spots and don't show them to anyone if you dont want it to be known.

Is it right or O.K. NO, but as others have stated thats just the way it is. If you want to keep a spot to yourself then only bring self there. It always starts out where you bring your buddy but then he brings his buddy then that buddy brings his buddies and before you know it your secret spot has become party cove.

I know your feeling man. I once told a so-called friend about a bait hole. He went back and cleaned it out. Shad and carp have never returned like they were. Come to find out he put them all in a tank in his yard. I have never shown ANYONE a place that I want. That man not only screwed up my bait hole, He screwed up me trusting anyone in the future, I don't know witch is worse.


Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most !!

Wait till you run a trip as a guide...... It's a tough day so, you fish more spots than you have to normally. Put fish in the boat, everyone happy. A couple weeks later, you see a new guides cards at the marina, and also see him out fishing the spots that you had before with him on your boat!! Lol

If its a public lake it's not secret, be happy he's catching fish and maybe he will take you fishing one day. If it was secret and you were worried about it you should not have taken him, this theory of secret spots drives me crazy , at any time those fish can swim away and your secret spot is just a fishing hole you caught fish at before. Really guys Ive spent many hours on the lake finding and following fish and when I find them it's just the spot that we met up that day. Tomorrow they may move to the next cove or five feet deeper and the " secret spot" becomes a new location. Try sharing all your spots and you won't have to worry about which fishing buddy you can trust and which one you can't.

I fished with tom a year ago and we fished alot of holes looking for fish that day. I have only taken my wife and son back to said spots! With that said we didn't catch any cause tom had already cleaned up in that area lol! So don't fish after tom lol! And I actually went back out to use what I remembered seeing on his ff to tune mine and made all the difference in the world. Mjmetro shared a honey hole of his with me. And have fished that lake with my tournament partner and out of respect we didn't fish the "secret spot". But things guys have shared with me only get told to my sons. Yeah theres a unspoken oath that should be across the board

Which is exactly why I dont ever,learning seasonal patterns on lakes for decades just to piss it off with/as a cheap favor is plain stupid.
There is no honor among thieves anymore,keep your holes,patterns and techniques to yourself.
Let'em all cuss you while you catch fish cool

+ 2000..I think you got it just right...The fish will come and they will go.. You catch a lot of fish in a certain spot, great, it doesn't mean they will be there when you come back.. A lake is huge, no way you are going to catch every fish in the lake, sure they move to another spot and you find them all over again. You all should thank GOD that we all have Lakes to fish with a great supply of fish to be had by everyone.. I could fish all you guys spots and not fish your "secret spot" out. Just my opinion...
