Things You Love That People Do When You Are Fishing!
 

OK....this thread should be fun! :laughs:

One of my favorites is when you are fishing along a sandy beach and someone walks directly behind your cast instead of walking a bit further behind you when they pass so as not to get hooked by the backcast of a lure holding 3 trebles!!!!:hs:

Bringing the kiddies to the water's edge while you are there casting/fishing to through friekin rocks in the water. And there were no rocks around so they had to cart them to the beach from somewhere else.

My favorite is when a guy walks upto you, real friendly like, makes light

conversation for awhile as you continue to fish, then casts right by your

side while talkin. :hihi: :af:

Another little chestnut of mine....when you are walking to your fishing spot carrying at least one rod, a plug bag and wearing waders and someone asks...."Going fishing???":rollem: :huh: :rolleyes: :smash: :tm:

Standard replies are...A) "Nope! Gonna change the oil in my car" B) "Nope! There is a pick up hockey game down the beach!" C) "Why do you assume I am going fishing?"

Guys who cast from the service road on the side of the Canal.... If I had a license to carry........................................... I'd be in Jail :liquify:

I'm not a fan of car headlights left on for way too long, a beam shinning over the water, with me cursing, shouting--"Turn your #@% headlights off."

When someone lets the dog off the leash to go swimming, making no attempt to keep the dog from getting in my line. One lady threatened to send me the vet bill when her pooch got hooked. Hey lady, see the sign over there that says "All dogs must be leashed"? :bl2:

Or, back when I fished chunks, dog eats a pint of clams or whatever and owner doesn't even say sorry :af:

Fishing and you feel like you being watched, you look around and see a truck in the distance, next thing you catch a fish and the guy that was watching you with spy glasses and 3 of his friends are all around you. fishing in your spot.

I was fishing a public beach at dusk with Mr Striper, when this guy lets his dog off the leash. It took about 30 seconds to find Mr Stripers tackle bag and pee all over it. I was crackin up....:rotfl:

here's a good one you caught a fish and it's laying behind you and someone asked did you catch that here, no I carried it in from another place just to put it behind me !:wall:

VS....:kewl: :bl:

Somehow everyone that I run into that is not fishing always asks, "Are the stripers runnin?" They say this all year round so it's not like their in tune with spring/fall runs.

That is my most hated quote......"Are they runnin?"......I hate the term...it sounds quite newby if you ask me!! Seems only non-fishermen use the term!:smash:

Slingah is surely hanging around here laughing right now!

I hate brothers that look just like you and say that they are a better fisherman.
I hate sandeel mustaches.
Crab-claw pipes!
My all time serious gripe is throwing a tennis ball right into my spread so Fido can "go fetch."
Also boats that troll in close so they can cut us off.
Seals!
Mung!
The guys who tell you that they were catching five minutes ago.
Hooks in hands.
Oh the list goes on!

Bitter Rick

OOPS,
Things people do.
Sorry,
Rick

I was on the Canal near the RR bridge my side & someone over my shoulder asked me if that was Marthas Vineyard on the other side< I said Yup , must have been:tooth: from IDAHO.
Link

lol

I hate brothers that say, "Oh I'm so cool" and shave their heads and grow goatees and try and catch fish to look like their cooler balder bigger gaoteed more fish catchin younger brothers. I also hate fancy pants techy gear buying reets that can't catch squat!!!!!!

the fish running question..
 

my buddy Doug's answer to that is:
"Running?.. Get out!.. I can get 'em on land?.. And I been wasting all this time tryin to haul 'em out of water.. Jeeesh!.. Who Knew?.. I thought they f****in' swam.. Hey..thanks for tellin me they run.. now I know!"
Usually about have way thru this.. they get the big picture.. and scoot.


Pretty much the same as above.. light shiners.. spot watchers, and jumpers.. and the ones that watch, (like Bob said), then hit their cell phones when the guys that have been fishing start to catch.. and their buds all come after the call...and jump in your shoes..

thats funny, same thing happened to me a coupla years ago

All the above plus any other not yet mentioned covers it for me.

Walked up path to a beach, to be met by 2 unleashed dobermen's a month ago in RI - just about <sh:t> in my waders... owner called dogs back, good thing they obeyed. :lasso:

The famous question, goin fishin ? most usually meets with a wisea$$ comment, unless i'm in a good mood :laughs: .

I still have good peripheral vision, so i always look forward to setting up for a cast when the "too close shorewalker" gets about 10 ft. from me, they always move off when staring 3/0s in the face.

I hate when I'm flyfishing in current and someone drifts a chunk right down in front of me. And when someone sees me releasing fish and asks if they can have it.

ya that one too, why am I releasing 20 inch fish. freikin morons..

After the mutt pees on your bag and the owner smirks the dog then tries to pee on a fish you have laying there. "If your mutt pees on my dinner, you're yaking a dead dog home" Scooby gets hauled away fast. And the folks who just drop the leash as if the dog just got away. If they're anywhere near the Race I tell them to get ahold of Fluffy , I just saw coyotes. They'll eat your dog, you know. The look of horror is priceless.:bl2:

Have we met? LOL kidding:smash:

i love fishing a spot that has fish moving back and forth on a beach...and watching someone racing down in full fishing regalia with waders on running up and down the beach trying to cast into the blitz to only realize after a half hour of intense aerobic excercise all sweaty and red-faced that the fish are all over the place and not just in the blitz....

..when some bait snagin' duche just shows up and decides to cast his s/hook over 2 guys lines, snags them both then blurts out that that they both snagged him- that sob almost went swimming......

nice:rotf2:

I was bringing in a small striper and this guy with a HEAVY southern accent comes running up just as i'm lipping the fish,casts an atom and hooks up.Before i could stop him he bends over and lips a freakin blue!:behead:

Fishing for Squid in Edgartown,MV near the wiegh station a few years ago..Its right near a nice eatery..People are walking down the dock interested in what we are catching..Squid!!!!..This lady says can I see one? Sure...Catch one,hold it up for her and squirts all over her nice white outfit...Dont worry lady it will come out in the wash..:jump:

haha!! now you know why i didnt stick around :hihi:

moral of this thread is.....fish at night
dogs, kids, surfers, googs, never see 'em except when Im heading home


but then again, there are the idiots with the lights......Oct of this year I was fishing at an outflow. I waded out into the water and this guy on shore starts shining his light on me, and then all over the water, back on me. I'm pretty mellow but I was ripped, I shouted "turn the f 'in light off and he did.

A Few of My Favorites
 

1. Guy who wants to chat it up....thats what waders are for....see ya... I came to fish not talk.

2. people and their dogs :rolleyes: gutta sniff me, my bag, and dig into my bait if I`m carrying. Or swimming out after my cast to play catch....owner smiling :scream2:

3. I once had a lady come up enter the water right next to me and lift my line up to go under and swim where I was casting to :rocketem:

4. kids jumping in right next to me and parents smiling on :realmad:

5. getting hooked in waders or line snagged by some clown fishing on top of me because he saw me catch a fish or wants to be in the spot I was in long before he got there.

:huh:


6. Someone who is there at the beach before I get there and sees me approach and start to fish then comes over and says any luck???? Yes....I had a brief moment alone before you came over with your dumbass question.

The scenarios are somewhat endless ...

1) We pull the boat up to a fishing spot, paddle in for more than 100 yards to ensure a quiet approach ... quietly set down an anchor and start to settle into the spot just as the tide starts to drop ... boat motors up to us and two googans say "catching anything?" with dopey smiles on ... my friend daniel barks back at them ... "we were until you came along" ...

2) I pull the boat into a cove on a cold and windy day, (not much action at the moment going on), to get out of the wind and try to warm up in the sun and eat lunch, two guys in another boat charge over because they think I am on fish ... only to realize they are big freakin dopes as I pull out my sandwich ...

3) Some guy runs his boat along the shoreline looking for breaking fish, only runs his boat within the casting area of the shoreline to kill the action for a good period of time ...

4) Some jack a** who continually and consecutively cuts me off on numerous shorelines that I am working with plugs, totally gets in my way as I am working down the coast - where's my gun ...

5) Some hack who sees me pull up to a reef that I am about to cast to, charges in at full throttle so close that I peg his hull with a jig to give him the warning shot ...

6) A small minded guide who cuts me off from breaking fish - I was there first -- so he can get his client onto them and puts them down ... fortunately his client realized he was a huge a**, and the only reason I did not jump into the guide's boat with my huge-a** buck knife ready for blood was because my 72-year old father would have been uncomfortable with me playing out the rules of the ocean ...

7) You take a buddy to a secret spot and continually find him there with others on consecutive casts ...

8) Jet skis ...

.... ooops, sorry, got carried away. :spin:

I don't know in the middle of the night fishing the MS Tourny carrying two good blues, guy asks if they are blues or stripers? What is he doing fishing in the middle of the night at this spot? I couldn't believe it. I don't have many peaves while fishing, I love it too much to get angry. Ok one more, drifting at the canal and someone comes walking down 40 ft to your side and starts casting and drifting.

When a commercial fishing boat intentionally steams over your tuna spread....

I hate encountering drunk people while fishing.Even worse is when the
the drunk is fishing.

I love beer just not when fishing.

LMAO #6 :hf1:

Letting Kids roam around Brant Rock and the sea wall unsupervised. This season tragically a young boy died when he fell off the sea wall and he was supervised. I don't get mad when kids run up to you while you're fishing because they just curious and want to learn but I don't understand why parents don't keep them at a safe distance. I guess they want to learn to. One thing I learned since being a parent is having patience, patience, and more patience.

people fishing spinning gear with the eyelets up and reel on top :usd:
