Guess the moral of the story is don't ask and don't share anything that could help others in fear they will come poach or catch all the fish. Amazing.
My original question was innocent and just looking for general info before friends of friends started piling on while already benefiting from the same useful info about how dare I ask such a question.
I just don't think claiming to be concerned about a specie while fishing for it day in and out is logical. Assuming the rest don't care is also not logical. I volunteer every week at the WSB pens and educate others I meet about sizes and limits. But hey make assumptions.
Me, I will continue to offer any info to guys I meet, post when I finally get something worth a gaff and help newbies out as I haven't forgotten yet that I used to be one.
Thanks Yanni. Hope to see you on the water in a few weeks when in down there.

Maybe I did not make it clear to you, so let me address your response sentence by sentence.
You are welcome for the info as are all where I post it. That is great that you are a fisherman that respects the environment. This forum is a great resource of where and how to fish from a kayak. The tackle shops are right that sites like these are full of good information dealing with kayak fishing. Great reports are posted here, but one mans definition of great does not necessarily mean the same as anothers. People ask me questions all the time by PM. And I try to answer most of their questions to the best of my limited knowledge. I also answered the questions put to me by Aaron&Julie. If you don't think that anyone here has shared any knowledge, then why are you still here?
Many of the people you are referring to did not have the information from me but defended anyway?
Wow, if I fished for WSB every time I went out, the gun would have gone in my mouth long ago. Did I mention that I caught the fish on my Halibut rig? Here is another little tidbit of info for you. Big Halibut hang out around Squid nests too.
I think it is very honorable that you volunteer at the WSB pens. I myself spent all day, after working all night, releasing all the WSB from the pens at Redondo. The only assumption being made by me is that not everyone on this site is going to be as responsible as you might be. And anything I say on the open forum is going directly to the worst of them too.
Me, I will continue to do what I do and not bend to pressure of what others want me to do.
