Gotta love urban fishing. Stopped by the Charles on lunch, found a decent spot by a dock and some Lillie pads. Immediately caught a bullhead on a spinner and three small bass that ravaged my Senko. Before I could even get another one out of the bag a gentleman with his toddler son plants himself less than two feet to my left, starts dipping half of his rod into the water and just swirling the lure around in a huge whirlpool pattern right on top of where I was casting while his kid throws rocs at the same spot. I looked at him and said "Really, man?" to which he responded with a hearty laugh and nothing else. Walked away before my blood pressure got any higher.
Yeah, apologies for the soapbox rant, but I figure if anyone would understand the frustration of that kind of situation it'd be you guys, haha. Always better to commiserate with other anglers than to escalate over some fish
Tough to act out with a kid there too, regardless of his dad being oblivious to common courtesy. I've also had people bring their dogs right next to where I am fishing and throwing a tennis ball out into the water, almost on top of my lure and definitely where I have clearly been casting. LOVE dogs (have one) and it's not their fault that again, their owner is clueless! I've said things to people and cannot believe that they don't realize how stupid they are and that their dog could possibly be hooked and injured because of it, but in the end somehow I'd be the one who got blamed.
i was actually going to say 9/10 times it's about rich. i was blowing up pond "S" the other week and wanted to text you a picture of the landscape if i had your number. i know you would've lost it seeing those powerlines...

on a similar note.. big boaters pushing the kayak and small boaters around... drives me nuts.. I can't tell you how many times I've had to leave a pond before my husband gets arrested cause a faster bass boat has zoomed in right next to us and he's had to move cause of the wake and the fishing pressure, some of the &#@holes that think they own the water need to watch out for the 300lb bald angler with a temper in his jon boat.. just saying
ha u found those people too i was fishing last weekend in my canoe all alone in this one cove then 25 campers arivve and i here them say from the shoreline that guys in re spot like they own the water and proceed to bombard the cove with lines trying to catch sunfish some people have no code of ethics
