True enough. There are a handful of grouper spots we only fish during the TCBA Tournament now for that very reason, and if there is another boat in sight we skip those cuz everybody loves to run up on ya and mash thier GPS TO GET YOUR #'s.
We won the grouper division two years back fishing one of our " secret spots ". Real hard to keep anything secret anymore. Most guys would rather run up on ya than studying the charts, and scouting on thier own. Luckily we spend some time every summer scouting, and occasionally happen across a new to us spot in need of further investigation.
Some of those excursions can be a lot of fun, or be a real bore. But when you find a rock out in the middle of no-where it can be pretty rewarding.
