Awesome job, GS, sorry to hear about the vultures. You definitely made the right call (we didn't do quite as good) and it sounds like your Bob-day worked out great.
Space management...Another one of those multi-faceted arguments... obviously, no one owns the water or the beach, but where is the line drawn.
We've all probably been catching fish when the guy down the beach (who ain't) comes over and casts over your line... that's ignorant, right? But what if I'm standing in a big rip, should I be able to monopolize the rip, if that's where the fish are?
Boats are alot more complicated... like GS's hump, that's a huge gray area. Should they be able to cast to it?
I try to give folks there space. I personally think the one who's first on the spot should be left alone. Or if you can fish the area without being too invasive or interfering with his/her methods, no problem.
If you're managing a drift over a larger area, everyone is entitled to take a turn. What about a major rip? I kinda view that as public property vs. an isolated rock or hump that can only support one or so boat.
I think that the best rules to follow would be those of common courtesy. Treat others as you would like to be treated.
However, at the risk of offending everyone, if you've notice how many of your fellow Mass residents drive, how could you expect anything different out on the water? I would suggest that the same guy who blows a redlight or ignores a yield sign and cuts off 3 cars, would likely pull his boat right next to you and start throwing 4 oz. rangers... just an impartial observation.
Boy, you guys always get my positive side on Mondays.
