Just take real foreigners fishing, they won't ruin your honey holes

More seriously things I read today can be the same everywhere in the (fishing) world. I have a very good friend, who puts some time in boat fishing (OK does not count), a real fisherman : I can never tell wether he is paranoïd or not when he says that other fishermen follow his boat :
- we are only forty-ish and we did not invent fishing...
- the water belongs to everybody
- coincidence happens
-...
However I had to sign a blood oath when that guy took me to the right places at the right moment !

Anyway, I can really be pissed off when I see somebody is at a place I would like to fish, but will leave him alone (also a way not to show that guy that he is fishing a good spot, that he otherwise would not stick to, or might not know how to fish )

And I only take on my boat people I trust, or do not have the luck to own a boat (and I am very sad when they get one )
Well I am not as much into fishnig as I used to be, so I do not think that fishing can bring the worse out of me (anymore); however I understand the kind of sad situations it can get people into

I have been threatened by someone (well another paranoid, but now in jail : poaching when you are a so-called professional charter guide is not a goog idea) while fishing in January a few years ago, when we were probably the only two fools on their boat in the area !
But I also gave bird-names to people crossing my drifts, or even started the engine and voluntarily ruined the fishing just to show how unhappy I was

Forgive my poor english !

P.S. I go fishing with Denis tomorrow
We will launch the boat at , scout the area, catch big and definitely have a good time
