%$%$%$%$ty situation Brian.
People dont think about that when they are firing a 'warning shot'
Internet tough guys.
How many have actually cast at a boat.
My guess is fewer than talk about doing it.
running the tourboat I was cast at a few times around Fort Adams. I never purposely cut a lineor cut off a cast, like you said, it isnt a good idea for the boat. But squeeze me between a sailboat, and the fort, and I'm going over a line. I'm sure there are lots of cases of boaters encroaching, it sucks. Is it worth hurting someone? is every cast perfect? Next time you fire one 10-20ft away as a warning, think about those muffed casts your had. take a breath.
Again.
fish at night in non-boat traffic areas. you will have zero problems.
If you are fishing the galilee channel, or another breahway, or a 'popular spot in the bay' you have to expect conflict.
Deal with it.
My guess is a lot of these '%$%$%$%$%$%$%$' boaters are in BOAT areas
I have more problems with light happy surf casters than boaters...
