I agree.
If they are throwing plugs and dont cross my line where Im casting I'm Fine. If they start interfering with my fishing. I tell em to move down. If it gets more then that and theres an altercation. Like I say "When in doubt knock em out". :devil2:

Turn on your headlamp to the highest setting, look them in the face and start talking. Blind the bastards.

Where do you come up with this stuff?


I can see it now "damn, alligator blues were biting me off all night."

heh heh heh

Joe: Excellent strategy. Same method I use.
Move down the beach about 50 yds. and resume catching.
It shows them they didn't have to set up right near me and it really frustrates them when I start catching fish after giving up my spot and moving. Makes them feel foolish I would think.

[QUOTE=Offshore24;684814] fished a rotation last year. First time and I was amazed how well it could work if everyone was reasonable and payed attention to what they were doing. That's the most crowded I've ever been while fishing and it was fun.

thats how i like to do it too..i love to get down and rotate while i fish.with my hot sweaty boots,and my long strong rod in my man hands..:deadhorse:i have fished in roration for salmon in maine and canada ,like a gentleman fisherman.not like yous guys..:bshake:

Swing 1st ask questions later..:claps::spin::wavey:

i generally get annoyed when there's anyone fishing close enough to me for me to be able to see them. i know i have no right to be annoyed by that, but I like fishing alone and being able to move around a cover any given "spot" without worrying about losing my perch or having to get to another earlier than I want to to claim it for when I want to be there. luckily, the places i fish i generally am alone and will often leave if others show.

but if someone gets uncomfortably close, i'll usually say something. if they don't respond favorably, i'll typically leave and (here's the mature part) do whatever I can to ruin there chances of benefiting from forcing me out (headlights on the water, etc.).

go feed a pelican :read:

and there's always the "oh, you must have gotten the message I wrote on the wall in the gas station bathroom" line while unzipping your jacket

Holy crap there's some funny stuff on this thread.

It's good to know I'm not alone with dealing with boneheads. The vast majority of fisherman I encounter seem like good guys. I've made some great friends fishing. it's just the occasional a-holes that really get me riled.

Unless its a hole , i just keep moving around.5-10 casts then move.It keeps from pointing out a spot.

Did that already...:wave:
