Most guides put in years and years of fishing that cost us lots of money to do , and people pay us to take them fishing so I'm not going to risk an area or spot to be flocked with people
I have helped tons of people on this site over the years so before you label it as "guides"
It's not all if us

You are an exception. Captain Hoop is another one. But for the most part any "report" posted by a professional is a picture of a bunch of fish with little to no info other than a plug for one of their sponsors. That's great but it doesn't do someone like me any good. I don't expect anyone posting a report to give out any coordinates, I don’t, but things like water condition, tidal conditions, what depth the fish were holding or other things that can help an experienced fisherman determine a good plan for his next trip. These things don't mean anything to people who don't know how to fish but can mean a lot to someone who knows how to apply it correctly. I work 14 and 14. I hit it hard on my days of but am out of the loop while I am at work. A lot can change in 2 weeks so knowing how things are trending can save me from having 2 or 3 bad trips if the fish are in transition. My frustration is not with the guides but the other members on here that troll the forums for info and are content to offer nothing in return. This site would serve its members much better if there were more reciprocity, but there doesn't seem to be. At the same time I don’t want to share info with anyone not willing to share with me. I would be more inclined to share with people who do the same. That is really the main point I was trying to make.
