aah, the sidler
so why don't we advocate the fact that bad breath scares off the fish, and that you should always have an economy size box of tic-tacs in your wader pocket at all times.

All good suggestions guys. I think the real answer is to fish the wee small hours during the week. I have been at the river this week between 12:30 AM and 3:30 AM. No one. Nada. Couple of guys on the hard side but no one on the soft.

Last night while fishing in falmouth, me and my brothers and a friend were slamming fish left and right, mostly sharks and blues and a few shorts though... and twice last night, those wads moved over to our spot and fished off the jetty.

I stood there, said out loud to my brother... "man, we got miles and miles of beach here, and that *#@$wad decides to fish right there next to us, go figure, those kinds are the *&@#$@#$*)&" and within a few minutes, they left...

Sheesh, they are stupid.

Don't cry out loud
Just keep it inside, learn how to hide your feelings
Fly high and proud
And if you should fall, remember you almost had it all

Did he mean to spell Gilligan or Googan?:smash:

:laughs:

;)

No crying here..

but letting those dimwits know their lack of courtesy blows and knowing they left shortly after my commetnary makes me feel better...

Reading this thread made me remember a quote which seems quite appropriate here:

"Someone just back of you while you are fishing is as bad as someone looking over your shoulder when you write a letter to your girl."

Ernest Hemingway

I helped a guy once that told me he never caught a keeper ,.Then he brings his knucklehead friend to the spot and he's there all season ,,he sets up a fence of rods ,,so many he can't watch any of them and he's giving me the look when I go down there like its his spot.. I know who he is, he doesn't know me .. needless to say I bashed his head in with a rock one night and cut him up into little pieces with a cordless sawzall..I haven't had a problem with him since .... ssshhhhhhh.....:skulz: :vamp: :scream2:

Tagster, you should have just cut off all his rods below the ferrules with your sawzall and you wouldn't be on the lamb!:huh: :laughs:
