Shakabra,
Actually this issue has come up lately. For some reason a couple people have said that I give out too much info, or I shouldn't be saying so much about the wsb, yada yada. My opinion is this-

Without going too far into it, I'll only address the problem of overcrowding. Maybe you weren't around last year, but we had the same bite at the same place all summer last year, and posted a report everytime we fished. Most of the time we were the only guys out there. Occasionally we'd see one or two other tubers, but I can only really remember a couple times where there were more than 3 or 4 other craft fishing the bait barge. So, it seems that the over crowding issue is not much of a concern. However, we did remind people a lot last year that the harbor IS for boats, and we should get out of their way if they need to come and go, or use the harbor... We're not supposed to be there adn should be courteous to the people who actually need to use the facility. Most of the time we're off to the side of the main channel and not in the way of any boats anyway, unless we're chasing a fish. So, until the day that I see 5 to 10 guys in float tubes/kayaks fishing the harbor, I really don't think it's much of a concern. Most of the guys on this site believe that keeping secrets from other anglers doesn't benefit anyone. I'd much rather have lots of guys having fun than myself becoming a worse angler catching fish that have no pressure, have never seen a lure, and are as easy to catch as shooting ducks in a barrel. I could go on and on about this exact issue, but I think you get the point.
