I was there one morning, all by myself, when a car pulls into the empty parking lot right next to my car. After I try and discretely catch and release two fish, the driver of the car comes down and fishes about 20 feet from me. Mind you I was the only one fishing until he came down.

He was an older gentleman so maybe he just wanted to be close in case he needed some help (which I could have given if he was say 50 ft away), but that was a little too close. If I had begin to cast lefty there was a good chance I could have swung it right by his nose he was that close. We ended up getting into some fish though with no problems so I really didn't mind. I mean there are no fish in the canal.
