When I go fishing, I make it a point to talk to other anglers. That's just the way I am. I am not trying to steal spots, check out you gear or try and out do you....I just want to hear people's fish stories.
When I encounter a newbie or any kid having a hard time catching fish I will do what I can to get them in the right spot and right frame of mind.
I convey important information about catch size and bag limits, the importance of C&R if you aren't planning on keeping a legal catch, and consideration for fellow anglers.
With that, I also make it a point of avoiding confrontational anglers because we all know how well booze and fishing go so well together.
Sure we could mention an aglers' undersize catch should be released, but is it worth the price of a visit to the hospital???
Fortunately we have more young impressionable anglers than a-hole weekend warrior bucket-brigade angler wanna-be's.
