Title: New here and wanna say Hello !
Post by: dumpster on February 11, 2014, 08:02:10 AM
I have fished for about 40yrs and I am not afraid to tell fellow anglers where fish are biting.This seems to be a no-no to some people,heck I don't care if I tell you,maybe you aren't fishing like I am. Maybe I can learn something from you?...I am from Youngstown....Good Luck Fishing everybody and be safe !

Hello Dumpster and welcome!
I had to laugh when you said about telling someone about the fishing. Some people are insecure and will not help an other angler. Had that happen the other day to us. Buddy saw these guys doing much better than us. He walked over and asked what was the magic lure and the volunteered a small blue /white Vibe. OK Great. While he was standing there another hookup. Guy slowly binging the fish up almost seemingly wanting to lose it. It did not come off and low and behold a big gold spoon.
We always help other on hard water and on the rivers for steelhead. To us that gives another type of satisfaction that those kind of people have not enjoyed yet.

Well said.
I have learned a lot from others and enjoy passing that info on.
You do not have to give up your favorite spot but just giving a safe ice report, depth, lure and technique can go a long way in helping others become better fisherman.
I know i have learned a lot from everyone on this site.
Thanks!

I agree with David. I'll give depth, lure color and even presentation, as well as ice conditions. That's enough to give somebody a good head start. But if I've worked very hard to find a certain spot, such as the sunken bridge at Nimi, I'm not going to give my gps coordinates away after 3 days of searching. Welcome to the site also, hope to see you on the ice, I'm in the NE Ohio area too.
