Great idea, let's arm every freaking Yahoo who comes down to the Canal on a "breaking" tide. Guys will be OK Corralling over crossed lines and lost fish.
It's a #^&#^&#^&#^&ing zoo down there already, and you guys want to add guns to the mix?
I know a lot of old regulars who won't fish there on these tides, no matter how hot the bite it. And, I've joined them. This is supposed to be fun. I guess if a fuster-cluck is your idea of fun, go for it. Me, I have other things I'd rather do. If I want to get frustrated, I can try to build a #^&#^&#^&#^&ing ship in a bottle.
