To say to the supposedly “best in the world” that they can’t, is ridiculous.
The No Info rule does not prohibit gathering information. Getting info from a public source is perfectly acceptable. And, an angler would be remiss not to get any info that is permissible. The No Info rule only prohibits gathering non-public info. Without this rule, competitors are going to establish huge networks, some paid for by sponsors, to gather all the info they can, including having local promotional staff fishing during off limits and feeding that info to the pros they’re working with.
