I guess I don't know about drifting eels along a 100 foot stretch of shoreline.

I guess I should start drifting plastics in the same manner and expect anyone that wants to fish east of me to go away, since I have the right to all that shore simply because I want to fish as close to shore as possible.

Nah, I'm not THAT selfish or idiotic.

I understand that drifting live baits can be VERY effective in some areas, but is probably the most ineffective way to fish that section.

My gripe was simply that these guys were basically making 1/3 of the shore east of Pip's "off limits" because they were drifting eels.

Also, as stated earlier, this is the first time in 20+ years that I've ever seen someone live line any kind of bait there. Sure, there have been a few chunk slingers, and they tend to stay closer to Pip's and their lines may drift 20 feet of so down current (but 20 - 30 feet out).

I am a legend in my own mind!
