This is what I know about OTW
I have a friend from Maine a Surfcaster/ Boater and a writer
he contacted OTW to write for them and sent in a piece
the sent it back telling him they want spots and all the
mico details about it

here is what they wrote him: They told me they pay $200 for a major story with pictures and MUST divulge locations, tips and techniques. They wanted micro-details. Not interested in what I had to offer.

I think that the info they want sell mags. and It is OTW's fault for wanting it

Surfcasting Full Throttle

Don't judge me Monkey

WOW this is a long thread...wasted a good amount of time reading this. It is funny to see people super pi$$ed at the start of the thread and now folks are calming down.

I honestly do not care about spots because the "googans" (man I hate that term) dont fish in the dead of night, on windy, rain or foggy days; they only fish on weekends and when the sun is shining. The problem is that they usually dont clean up and know how to fish the spot with other people there but if they did everything would be ok by me.

Now I can get back to work.

And on that one weekend they have the tendency to leave more than enough trash. The coastline is so massive that unless a spot is very well-known, it's not missed as much if lost. There are lost-spots out there that would make you drool silly, lost to negligence.

That's why WE HAVE to CARE about SPOTS....mine, yours, and theirs!!

Seawolf - You're right, when and if there is a trash barrel present, it's normally filled with househould trash. It's a no-win situation, that's the sad truth. I think the "beach/rock clean-ups" are helpful, especially if the local residents see fishermen doing it....but all it takes is that one lazy group who don't even have the decency to use the trash barrel, nevermind take their own trash home...

If you see someone littering while fishing and you don't know how to approach them, I know some of you can be a bit timid - - ....you may want to start the conversation by saying something like this....

"I heard they're going to close this place down. It's under review right now. They are monitoring how clean it's being kept. It sure would be a shame to lose the right to fish here huh?...Yeah, really sucks. I pick up some of the trash from time to time, but it's gonna take more than one person to save this place........have a nice day, and good luck!".....

...it finally happened, there are no more secret spots

How about another thread on suggestions for good interesting articles that would sell magazines without burning spots.
I myself would rather have seen 4 articles with the same illustrations without locations and more detailed explanations of how to fish breachways, Points, reefs, rocks, etc.
What works and why in the writers opinion with no guarantees.
Then again I liked bassmasters articles.

The writer can say NO. I hope he did.
