Zach, your talking to people who have been around fishing and the internet for as long as the two have existed together. You don't have to agree, but the fact is many of us have seen first hand what happens when too much reveling info is given.
It's not jealousy, or elitism, anything else. Most of the people here are very capable anglers. It's that cringe in your gut that you get when you see an exact prime spot being shown on the net. I can guarantee you that location in the video will receive alot more pressure this year. I'd bet a fly rod on it.
I look at it this way. I've paid ALOT and I mean ALOT of money in my lifetime for my gear, Boat, truck, insurance, gas, fly tying material, time away from family, yada, yada. I've fished just about every body of water within a 3 hour drive of my house, many of these places were a complete bust. Still, I paid the price and paid my dues. So my thoughts are,, when I finally find a great place, I've got alot invested in that place. To give it away to someone sitting on a couch eating potato chips and snickers, surfing the net makes no sense. This doesn't even take into consideration the people who scour the net looking for places to harvest fish.... Remember the guys that got caught with all those white bass last year. I'd be willing to bet loose lips sent them to the location where they got popped.
Zach the intention was not to run you off. This is a fishing board and differing opinions are inevitable. Most of what I posted was meant to be generalized, not directed at you specifically. What the others posted was not sharp pointed either. It's your call, but we'd like to keep you around.
