not miserable .. very easy going ...but not a door mat and have strong dislikes like littering ,, poaching and just being piggy .. I find the majority (99%?) of fisherman good eggs.. Pretty much travel alone but know fishers when I get there ...

It's the fishing that makes me miserable. Misery loves company. People try coming too close, I'll talk all nice to fool them, then start acting really crazy.
They usually leave.

Oh your acting??:hihi:

This is why I learned to stick to myself......I tried to say "hello" to one too many people getting only attitude in return....whatever......

Sounds like he was toying with you,maybe there's more to the story than your sharing?
Remember your in America and while your free to be sociable others are free to blow you off if they so choose. So telling someone to find another hobby just because he's not doing it YOUR way is kinda whiny isn't it?

If I'm fishing alone at night I'm always glad to meet up with another human. I've met a lot of cool people that way. I'm also very cautious when I'm alone, but I'll wade out to that last rock when someone else is around.

fishing 10 feet from someone is ok if he knows how it fish and not casting a jig over your plug or when you have a fish on.

I like your style:cheers2:

This is why I bought a boat.

I fish alone, yeah with nobody else....
