Facebook has ruined the secret fishing hole. Two years ago there was rarely another fisherman on that river. Now I see someone new each time i go down there.
I can't get bait and I destroyed my 4th cast net in little over a years time on Monday. Those add up at $25 a pop. My spots are being taken over by out of towners from Missouri who get there at 4 am and fish all ****ing weekend. I finally was able to get more than a few shad on Sunday and got chased off by a storm 45 minutes in.
I just want to catch some fish. Is that too much to ask?

I could've written this rant for the last several years, there are bajillions of wannabe Jeremy Wades these days out there hogging everything up and pressuring the hell out of the area
My advice is to start thinking small, there are monster catfish in the deep pools of every single creek that feeds off your favorite river... all 3 of my top cats, and some of my favorite sport fishing moments came from the deep, and sometimes very shallow, pools of a small creek
Spend an extra $5 in gas and get away from the crowds
