I sure have a hard time believing that some of you feel this is a “brilliant” tactic. If you can go out and figure out a pattern, run that pattern, turn in a nice sack off fish, that is brilliant. If you happen to see Jeremy fishing a cut, decide you want to play defense, come back after he’s left and proceed to pound the S*%$ out of the fish he has found, just so he can’t catch them tomorrow, I don’t see the skill or “brilliance” in that move. Even if it is a “community” spot. I think that’s a bush league tactic. If that spot was found on your own then they’re your fish, do to them what you want. Even if the spot is a community spot, you may need a fish at the end of the day, well forget going there, those fish have all been stuck.
I would also agree with Jeremy’s thought that if your in the mode of playing defense in tournament fishing, you playing the wrong game. I seldom have extra time to go and burn others fish. I would much rather spend my practice time fine tuning or searching for the 5, 6, or 7th spot. Not that I’ve ever found the 5th, 6th or 7th spot.
Anyways, I have to think that anyone on this board would be out of their gord if someone stuck fish in your “A” spot. Slop, if they did this to you on a Tuesday Nighter you would kick a hole in your new Ranger.
But what do I know, I’m from Illinois. I like the Bears. Enough said?
