Default What do you think of a (magazine/Guide) that publishes inshore GPS numbers?

There is a state wide magazine that in the last two issues published about eight fishing locations that are "Tight-lipped" by most of the local guides.
Me as a native guide here in Charleston think its very wrong for one; the magazine to publish, and two; for another guide to give away locations (for publicity reasons) that we (other guides) have found to be productive in our line of business.
Its just something you dont do. Now every body that knows how to use a GPS will be there every chance they get, and the next thing you know, ALL of the fish will be gone. I have seen it happen to many times.

Don't get me wrong,,,I'm not saying that the weekend warrior shouldn't go out and catch fish and have a good time. A good fishing location is something you earn. And Its something you just dont GIVE away.........................

I just dont think its right.....Whats your comment?

I have to agree with you.
There is something good in helping someone to learn how to fish - but this seems wrong.

But I did purchase a Hot Spot Chart that has published lots of known local honey holes, but all ......
So I may not be the right person to respond ......... ICM
