One thing I think all of us need to be aware of.
Surfcasting is gaining popularity. Just look at this site, high end plugs, high end B&Ts.
This means more people, more often. We all can choose how we want to respond to each encounter.
Just this Sunday, I fished most of the night, I was tired and grumpy and ended up at a spot where I knew there have been some small fish. Figured I'd catch some schoolies before goign to bed. This was 5am, the lot was FULL. More cars than I ever seen. I was going to leave, but I waded out and found a spot. I had to watch every cast to make sure I did not cross lines. The guy to the right of me gets a fish and suddenly I see another guy, who just got there, literally running in waders and 3 feet of water, right in front of me, and casts in my zone, I had no place at all to cast. He was practically shaking with excitiement. I was pissed and cast right at him, he just moved the line over his head with his hand and kept casting. I moved, not worth it and left shortly after.
Its a fact that more guys are out there, and the internet is adding to this.
