I agree 100% (That was explained to me many years ago)

What I was irked about was that they weren't fishing out from shore or diagonally from it, but parallel to it.
(Not from a rocky shore, but on the sandy shore east of Pip's)

I do understand the concept of free-spooling, but doing so along an entire shore in shallow waters looks like they weren't fishing as much as drinking or smoking or letting out all their line to see how far it would go.

I can only imagine what would transpire if I decided to toss a Slug-go out as far as I could, and free-spooled the line for as far as I could before reeling it back in, and then expecting everyone down current to just accept the fact that their lines would be tangling mine (since I would have been there first).

I wouldn't do it because I don't have a death wish nor do I want to do battle with anything that doesn't have stripes!

I am a legend in my own mind!
