I get asked all the time about beaches here in SW FL, and it really depends on your experience when asked, sounds childish, but it's true.
My passion is away from the beach, old home dirt....so I don't care who finds what on my beaches, good for them.
If a newbie asks, and they haven't paid any Tnet dues, I will name a few beaches and wish them luck....
But if a member has time, credibility, and experience...a "regular" here on Tnet, they will get a freakin tide report, parking rates and Groupons for the finest Dining on the beach if I can....
Haha...maybe not all that, but you get it, more detailed info, based on their questions....
I am more guarded on my old dirt.
I've told members to stay off my turf, but I've also invited others who have asked me....
For me it comes down to rapport and experience. If I feel that I can drink some beers and get along, be friends without getting crapped on, then let's go.
If you are old enough to be my grandfather, or young enough to be my son....not really interested.
