Just remember if they are in a navigable channel and just going from point A to point B through the channel, surfcasters fish at thier own peril including gear. I don't own a boat but have also seen discourteous shore fishermen give crap to boats just making headway through a narrow channel. Courtesy goes both ways, and violence either simulated or real should not even be in a shore fishermans gameplan. I really get pissed when I read about guys saying they will launch a hopkins or some lead at a #^&#^&#^&#^& in a boat, what you are doing is tantamount to intentional assault, just because some fish were scared away. What do you think would happen if you hit the guy or one of his passengers? I find that intentional action even more reprehensible than a googan boater fishing in front of some surfcasters. Yell all you want just don't resort to violence. Sorry for the rant, lack of common sense and basic manners is the norm it seems these days.
