most agree its a classless thing to do .i agree its better to move down current 50 yds and waite for YOUR cast but that makes too much sense..20+ yrs now i,ve been a reg ,reg,canal rat ,and NO i do not cast over a mans head ,out of respect and hope that it dont happen to me....note i will if he saids its ok w/ propper cond. at the time....its no class for the head hunters that cant waite.....

Clambelly...Slander?Definition is everything.

Sometimes it wouldn't hurt to research before you post.

RIRockhound.......No talk here....I have cast at folks before and will do so again....a few here have seen it! Don't cross the BigFish!:hihi: Treat me nice and I treat you nice!

Yea, until you hit someone in the head and the police haul you away :hs:

I was fortunate to have two early morning visits to the ditch Sun and Mon. - both days same spot with the same guy to my left and two different guys to my right each day. We all knew what we were doing and were considerate of each other. We all caught fish and left happy.
I did notice the some bikers come buy during brief topwater activity, but none pulled the trigger over us.
As far as these Greek guys, I'm sure that there be more people keeping an eye on them, thanks to the publicity.
If I was approached by a handful of angry fishermen, knowing the money they have shelled out to fish the Canal right and just looking to have a ?? relaxing ?? day out fishing, that would most likely change my attitude.

Spence....you surf where I was fishing first....you take your life in your hands. As for boat fishermen.....you drift into my casting range and its hull bouncing time!:bl: I would never intentionally injure someone....simply making a point that you are in my zone......and deserve a little respect!:lasso:

Cutting lines or intentional entanglement is probably the best tact(s) to take, and no worries about getting sued. I'm sure that gets the point across.

I'm glad u leave your rod home when u go to the Supermarket...:D

I never said that I do!:bl:

How you doing Dave?:wiggle:

Doesn't have to be intentional...even the best of us don't cast perfectly all the time :angel: :smash:

I'm just trying to ensure any impressionable young minds don't think it's ok if BF does it :devil2:

-spence

I just don't like being stepped on Spence....it won't be tolerated.....ever! My feets bigger!:bl:

As Mr. Pak my karate instructor often said...there's always someone with bigger feet :hihi:

-spence

I don't run across many size 16's......unless Flap is packin a pair?:wave:

Nah, those aren't big feet...These are big feet :rotfl:

-spence

...exactly!

If u fish at night u find u don't have that problem.
I have seen the mad biker gang, bunch of punks.
Sounds like a perfect example of everthing thats wrong with kids today.No respect.If i ever did something like that when i was young i better be prepared for a azz beating.From my old man if he found out.
I would volunteer to be there propa daddy for the day an learn em some manners.

The guy casting bait over me and Smokey was in the dead of night. You just can't avoid them all the time.

I am Greek and I took no offense to what Bob Thomas said. Personally I think they should be called the Malakas. If they did it to me I would stick a size 12 up their rear.

Thanks, Specialist. . . I meant no harm or "slander" by it...just how we've come to know them

Man If I pissed off BigFish in the middle of the night I would be a little scared!:err: Of course I wouldn't do any thing like this so I have no worries.

Territorial Imperative

How do you seperate the Men from the Boys in the Greek Army?





With a Crowbar. :hee:



Hey, I'm a Irish, French, and Polish. I'm a Drinker and a Lover.....but I can't do either one right. (Oh No I think I just Slandered myself)

in some other states tossing the line over someones head can be assault and you got the right to protect yourself. cock the trigger and play can i hit a rod tip at night. really scare the piss out of the jerks.

2 wrongs dont make a right....although I have been guilty of casting in the general direction of a vessel or two...but it aint really worth maybe hurting someone over a fish......

I would not start with the Greek jokes.

We catch not fish.

i guess slander was the wrong word. ill try to do my research next time. my point was, why specificly point out certain individuals that aren't here to defend themselves? i know for a fact that the guys in question do not participate on these boards, so they have no way to respond HERE. sorry for the confusion. ill try not to step out of line again :gorez:

Perhaps you can tell them that what they do is not cool?

I believe it's a federal offense to possess a firearm on Canal property.

BigFish uses conversation and reason to explain to another fisher why he should not cast over his head

Too funny

Was that you Skitter on the grassy knoll?

BigFish :hee:

Stupid sumbiatch
 

Anyone who would ntentionally piss off Bigfish would probably qualify as a person who underachieves intellectually. As a matter of fact I would have to say that persons I.Q. is more than likely in the minus range. Maybe even ameoba-like.:bounce:

Followed by a size 16 to the A$$ to make sure they listened ??:hihi:

im confused. this isn't my problem. ive never had this problem. ive never witnessed this problem. every time i fish the canal, or from the road in fact, ive never casted directly over someones head.

I`m confused to....sounds like you know them...Thats all I meant.
