Things You Love That People Do When You Are Fishing! - Striper Talk Striped Bass Fishing, Surfcasting, Boating

BigFish · 11-10-2006, 04:58 PM

OK....this thread should be fun!

One of my favorites is when you are fishing along a sandy beach and someone walks directly behind your cast instead of walking a bit further behind you when they pass so as not to get hooked by the backcast of a lure holding 3 trebles!!!!

Bringing the kiddies to the water's edge while you are there casting/fishing to through friekin rocks in the water. And there were no rocks around so they had to cart them to the beach from somewhere else.

My favorite is when a guy walks upto you, real friendly like, makes light

conversation for awhile as you continue to fish, then casts right by your

side while talkin.

BigFish · 11-10-2006, 05:10 PM

Another little chestnut of mine....when you are walking to your fishing spot carrying at least one rod, a plug bag and wearing waders and someone asks...."Going fishing???"

Standard replies are...A) "Nope! Gonna change the oil in my car" B) "Nope! There is a pick up hockey game down the beach!" C) "Why do you assume I am going fishing?"

Guys who cast from the service road on the side of the Canal.... If I had a license to carry........................................... I'd be in Jail

I'm not a fan of car headlights left on for way too long, a beam shinning over the water, with me cursing, shouting--"Turn your #@% headlights off."

CAL · 11-10-2006, 05:32 PM

When someone lets the dog off the leash to go swimming, making no attempt to keep the dog from getting in my line. One lady threatened to send me the vet bill when her pooch got hooked. Hey lady, see the sign over there that says "All dogs must be leashed"?

Or, back when I fished chunks, dog eats a pint of clams or whatever and owner doesn't even say sorry

Fishing and you feel like you being watched, you look around and see a truck in the distance, next thing you catch a fish and the guy that was watching you with spy glasses and 3 of his friends are all around you. fishing in your spot.

Biteme · 11-10-2006, 05:39 PM

I was fishing a public beach at dusk with Mr Striper, when this guy lets his dog off the leash. It took about 30 seconds to find Mr Stripers tackle bag and pee all over it. I was crackin up....

vanstaal · 11-10-2006, 05:40 PM

here's a good one you caught a fish and it's laying behind you and someone asked did you catch that here, no I carried it in from another place just to put it behind me !

BigFish · 11-10-2006, 05:54 PM

VS....

luds · 11-10-2006, 05:57 PM

Somehow everyone that I run into that is not fishing always asks, "Are the stripers runnin?" They say this all year round so it's not like their in tune with spring/fall runs.

BigFish · 11-10-2006, 05:59 PM

That is my most hated quote......"Are they runnin?"......I hate the term...it sounds quite newby if you ask me!! Seems only non-fishermen use the term!

Slingah is surely hanging around here laughing right now!

RickBomba · 11-10-2006, 06:08 PM

I hate brothers that look just like you and say that they are a better fisherman.
I hate sandeel mustaches.
Crab-claw pipes!
My all time serious gripe is throwing a tennis ball right into my spread so Fido can "go fetch."
Also boats that troll in close so they can cut us off.
Seals!
Mung!
The guys who tell you that they were catching five minutes ago.
Hooks in hands.
Oh the list goes on!
Later,
Bitter Rick

RickBomba · 11-10-2006, 06:09 PM

OOPS,
Things people do.
Sorry,

I hate brothers that say, "Oh I'm so cool" and shave their heads and grow goatees and try and catch fish to look like their cooler balder bigger gaoteed more fish catchin younger brothers. I also hate fancy pants techy gear buying reets that can't catch squat!!!!!!

Karl F · 11-10-2006, 06:49 PM

my buddy Doug's answer to that is:
"Running?.. Get out!.. I can get 'em on land?.. And I been wasting all this time tryin to haul 'em out of water.. Jeeesh!.. Who Knew?.. I thought they f****in' swam.. Hey..thanks for tellin me they run.. now I know!"
Usually about have way thru this.. they get the big picture.. and scoot.

Pretty much the same as above.. light shiners.. spot watchers, and jumpers.. and the ones that watch, (like Bob said), then hit their cell phones when the guys that have been fishing start to catch.. and their buds all come after the call...and jump in your shoes..

thats funny, same thing happened to me a coupla years ago

BEETLE · 11-10-2006, 07:12 PM

All the above plus any other not yet mentioned covers it for me.

Walked up path to a beach, to be met by 2 unleashed dobermen's a month ago in RI - just about <sh:t> in my waders... owner called dogs back, good thing they obeyed.

The famous question, goin fishin ? most usually meets with a wisea$$ comment, unless i'm in a good mood

.

I still have good peripheral vision, so i always look forward to setting up for a cast when the "too close shorewalker" gets about 10 ft. from me, they always move off when staring 3/0s in the face.

baldwin · 11-10-2006, 07:12 PM

I hate when I'm flyfishing in current and someone drifts a chunk right down in front of me. And when someone sees me releasing fish and asks if they can have it.

BEETLE · 11-10-2006, 07:14 PM

ya that one too, why am I releasing 20 inch fish. freikin morons..

Backbeach Jake · 11-10-2006, 07:49 PM

After the mutt pees on your bag and the owner smirks the dog then tries to pee on a fish you have laying there. "If your mutt pees on my dinner, you're yaking a dead dog home" Scooby gets hauled away fast. And the folks who just drop the leash as if the dog just got away. If they're anywhere near the Race I tell them to get ahold of Fluffy , I just saw coyotes. They'll eat your dog, you know. The look of horror is priceless.

Have we met? LOL kidding

doc · 11-10-2006, 08:40 PM

i love fishing a spot that has fish moving back and forth on a beach...and watching someone racing down in full fishing regalia with waders on running up and down the beach trying to cast into the blitz to only realize after a half hour of intense aerobic excercise all sweaty and red-faced that the fish are all over the place and not just in the blitz....

afterhours · 11-10-2006, 08:45 PM

..when some bait snagin' duche just shows up and decides to cast his s/hook over 2 guys lines, snags them both then blurts out that that they both snagged him- that sob almost went swimming......

I was bringing in a small striper and this guy with a HEAVY southern accent comes running up just as i'm lipping the fish,casts an atom and hooks up.Before i could stop him he bends over and lips a freakin blue!

Squid kids Dad · 11-10-2006, 09:05 PM
