I am not justifying the behavior of the other boat Armand.....they were dead wrong to act the way they did towards you and your party....my point is why must you be stopping to fish 50 yards from them? Is it because they are a charter boat and you figure...Hey....they must be onto something so lets set up here and fish? If I had been in your shoes I would have moved along a bit and found some other fish to catch......if I was on a lonely beach Armand all by myself and a guy came along....walking all the way down the beach without making so much as a cast until he gets 25 feet from me and then he stops and begins casting, figuring I must be into fish, otherwise why am I there, then I would have a huge problem with him and said so! Sounds like thats what you guys did
.
Again....yes they were wrong for their behavior but it sounds to me like you may have rubbed their fur the wrong way?
I call them as I see them.
