I saw it too in my local rag . Just plain stupid not surprising ! They will be the BIG men in prison " what did you kill the guy for " , " he was fishing in my spot " . Bubba should would like to meet them guys in a dark cell !
Given some of the "ownership" I've seen people seem to think about a spot or a rock, while stupid, it's not surprising. The only surprising thing is the location. I would have expected it to happen at Montauk, MV or on the Cape.
At least there are not many guns in most tackle boxes.
I am not surprised at this one bit. As I have posted some time ago here, I have seen something akin to that in the many years ago at the race point..It was getting ugly and I packed up and left. It is generally a mix of real bad attitudes and booze late at night when the fillet knives and gaffs make an appearence for something other then fish.
