To mention the Mud Hole and cod and blues and a striper on the same trip without mention of the stop at the “rocks” raised an eyebrow. The fact that I was concerned and confused should come as no surprise. However, my concerns for ethical fishing practices should not be overlooked. If I called attention to a perceived transgression on someone’s part, I did so because I felt that it was my responsibility to help maintain the integrity of our sport. Again, I apologize for any misunderstanding and applaud this forum for accepting and promoting the professionalism of its sponsors. I hope, though, that this has called attention to the fact that we are all “ambassadors” for our sport and that any transgressions should be challenged. We have a right and a duty to do so. " Idiot forum"? I don't think so.

Bilfish715. This took a lot of "Integrity" on your part. I apologize if I questioned yours. It won't happen again. Yes, I agree some of the wrap ups of several days of fishing by some of the posts can be confusing and that's why it is best to confirm what the facts are before responding. One thing I did learn from a lot of this thread is that a lot of us really do care about our sport and it's future.
Good fishing
