Spot Jumpers....Find your own fish!!

[S-Journey]

Was talkin about a different spot near Cohasset, but I think what you are talking about is even worse.

Senario --

You are fishing from the beach, some butthead anchored 600 yards away in a boat sees you catching fish and pulls anchor. He drives up and starts doing zig-zags over the area you are fishing, drops anchor and proceeds to dump a ton of chum in the water. All of a sudden all of the fish you were catching are now behind his boat enjoying the nice free meal of chum while your wood goes untouched. Had that happen earlier in the year and it was very painful. Caught almost 20 fish over 34" before he chumed, and 0 after. If the guy didn't have kids on the boat I would have given him hell, but instead I just noted the boat and will make sure to do the 35mph driveby on his chum slick when I see him when I'm out on the boat.

And good idea with the castmaster, less expensive and more damage. I think people will get the idea with the warning casts, if not I hope they have good insurance.

I think this year I might just go at night 100% of the time, might save me from having a stroke:-)

I know exactly what you are talking about S-journey. I have had that happen to me at the same spot I bet you are talking about. A boater that is pulling out of the river at 20 knots all of the sudden spots that I am hooked up off of the beach. The boaters than proceed to stop the boat turn around and head right towards me into the rocks. I have seen some pretty funny things happen to this people because they don't know the lay out of the rocks, but they are putting there boat right into my casting area. They have gotten so close to me at times I could of fliped my plug into the boat. I agree with you s-journey, next time it will be a kastmaster to there hull(not a pencil, too expensive).
