And common courtesy even less.
I love how some "fishermen" think that it's perfectly OK to cross your line, run over your line, barrel-a$$ ove to where you are fishing just because their high-priced electronics can't tell them the most inportant piece of information: that they're A-holes!

I was fishing Duxbury Bay a few years back (from shore) with a fellow fisherman, each taking turns casting over a particular rip that forms on the in and out going tides. In the midst of our rotation an a-hole comes barreling in from the open bay to set up his drift right on top of the rip. After a few well placed cast, the 'hole got a clue, but instead of moving on to another piece of water, he flagged down the harbormaster to complain that we were throwing rocks at his boat.
As fate would have it, the harbormaster knew the guy in the boat, as well as the guy I was with, and saw what had transpired.
His advice to the boater? Move!
