Ya know, it didn't bother them that you were there. So they know you have hooks on your plugs. They also know your casting that plug, so if it doesn't bother them you should have kept on fishing. If they get caught it the line, no big deal. They know the risks I'm sure. I dont see the worry. They would probably think that it was neat if you caught large while they were there. If they overreact wave to them with one finger. Then flash the peace sign.

Let them have this spot this coming Sunday. Surf's supposed to be really BIG !!

This is why I'm so glad I live and fish on Long Island. Surfing is restricted or banned from most county parks. which is also upheld at M as well. And as you can guess most of the South Shore of Long Island is county park or National seashore. Not that there aren't surfers here... it's just easier to get them off the beach.
