Those Folks who walk the beach

Have every bit the right to be there as we fishermen. And they are in just as much danger of losing access to that beach. It would be to our mutual interest (walkers and fishers) to get our noses out of the air and work together. If an unknowing soul happens to walk behind you, you won't die if you pause and let them pass, honestly. If they stop there, it's a perfect time to say hello and warn them rather than back cast a plug or fly at them. A little conversation won't kill you either. Work together, guys. If we don't, we lose it all.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
