Oh man, I can attest. I had the surfer thing happen to me yesterday, 'cept there was about 15 of them. I couldnt believe it. They woot right down on ya.

And I had the boat thing happen to me twice today, yes, that 2 TIMES. I started the day by fishing off the beach on North Hampton. It was low tide, so I walked across ALOT of rocks to get out on the structure. within 1 minute, a boat shows up, and lands about 30 feet directly in front of me. I got so sick of being eyeball #^&#^&#^&#^&ed, I walked all the way back.

Then I went to the Jetty in Rye Harbor, 10 minutes later I had some dudes in a dual-outboard asking me "is there any left", I just nodded, as to not be too vocal. So they just sat there lol. I couldve thrown a Derek Lowe strike they were so close. I got aggravated and left.

I ended up at the Hampton Jetty, got a flounder and a blue, but ZERO Striper action. I am so demoralized.

5 things I hate about fishing...

1.) People who get in my way, eyeball %$%$%$%$%$ harass, provoke, cast over, or negatively effect my fishing experience.

2.) Not catching any Stripers.

3.) Not being able to walk, jump, climb, crawl, or cast out to where I need to, in order to land a Striper.

4.) Not catching any Stripers.

5.) when all the Stripers leave the estuaries. This is when it gets increasingly harder for me to land my beloved Stripers. Throw me on the marsh, and give me some Powerbait Power Eels, some chunk Herring and a can of wd-40, and it's like I'm on a Pro-Tour. On a boat, I make people mad and they want to fight me I land so many Stripers lol. But put me on the beach (sand or structure), and I can't catch the flu.
