Larry that wasn't aimed just at you specifically, it's the mentality on both sides that irks me.
I'm all for common courtesy, and I agree it sucks if some boat guy gets in your way. But BrianL's story above could have been a lot worse. Tossing a warning shot is what you intend, but think about what would happen if you missed, or the guy gooses the boat and puts it where you are landing your 'warning shot'. Some kid in the boat gets a line across his neck or a 4/0 in the head.

It is only fishing.
Some boat guy gets between you and a bluefish blitz, is not life or death.

remember that guys and we'll all be much happier.

I'm done with this topic.
going back to my rocks in the dead of night where we rarely see boats in close.
