how do you handle.......

I'll give locations but not specifics, such as little tweaks to the presentation. I fish areas enough to know the same exact lure in a different color will not produce fish as well. I'll tell them if it is gear specific, once at strike we were hauling in crappie when no one else was, using the same thing, the difference was we were using ultralights with two pound test and their stuff was heavy, it was a quick light bite. I might sound like a dick but if your gear is obviously the problem I'll tell you to invest in a decent rod, why waste hundreds on gas and fail fishing when you can take a day of and get some good gear that will help. Once I was asked if a little red flake made a difference, and it was obvious it did in the results. There is a very specific size and color lure that is amazing at arrowrock that you would never think of for trout, I won't share that one though.
It's not that I'm concerned if they catch a fish, it's I do catch and release and I don't want the info to find it's way to someone who kills everything they catch.
