I had someone camp out on my drift a few weeks ago. I had a bit of a burr up my ass and explained I would be likely snagging his line. We did tangle once and he kindly moved and apologized, and then said he knew better fishing etiquette and shouldn't have stopped there to fish in the first place. In the conversation as he was packing to move I did invite him down to where I was seeing that if we fished side by side (or side by each as they say in RI) we wouldn't likely get tangled and I wouldn't have felt like a jerk. Turns out, he seems like good people and if I handled it better maybe i would have a better fishing acquaintance..
