Long time ago - Block Island surf - fistfight over crossed lines. Handgun exposed - local police called. A very competitive group of regulars to say the least. Not the place for the timid caster.

Oh. I must have ducked out to go wee-wee when DZ said that. 
Anyhoo, you guys are killing me.
I go fishing to get AWAY from that kind of crap. The LAST thing I would ever want is to get into a confrontation with anyone in the deep of the night.
I'm more afraid of rabid critters (skunks, racoons) than I am with two-legged bloofish.
Ever walk along the Ditch late at night and hear the screeching of 'coons?
It's about that time when I start recalling all those awful made-for-TV Peter Benchley flicks ... |

Nothing but having my vehicle broken into while fishing. Hunting is another story all together.  |

I've had my truck broken into twice, once at the restaurant across from the Run, the second at Monument Beach. Oddly, it's never happened to me here on Long Island 
Saltheart, Scott Branco and I had a memorable encounter with a couple of basically harmless drunks at the East End a few years back--the "designated driver" was the one who did all the talking and he was only half-way coherent 
There are some places along the mainland side of the Canal where I'd be careful, but to be perfectly honest, driving home among the drunks on the road in the wee hours scares me more than anything else. |

Last year was bad at Block. One guy had his rod tip snapped off. A guy I know had rocks put in the cup of his reel. They actually took off his spool and put rocks inside. Another guy had stuff stolen out of his vehicle. One night there I fished with a friend and we got back early in the morning and I had a flat tire. For many years I've been going there with mo problems. You could leave your rods out and your doors unlocked. Not anymore for me.

I ran into this guy around this time last year while fishing in my back yard who was ranting and raving how he was jumped while fishing.
He was a little battered and bloody but I think it was because he took a spill.He was absolutely hammered and kinda just babbling incoherently.That and a couple of the guides on his rod were smashed up.

I think the most violence I'd ever prepare for would be a rogue wave. It's pretty easy to avoid confrontation unless you're prone to it yourself.

I have never had trouble but the main place I fish in an area behind a bar.
2am, drunks guys hanging out, a guy walks by wearing rubber pants....might be a receipe for trouble.

Outside of the violence that occurs when a dogfish is landed, not too much
Seen a few domestic squabbles on the side of the canal, but they dont bother anyone but themselves.

Never ever had a prob with another fisherman. I will say that when I fish the canal and certain other places late night I carry my 9MM and have for a few yrs now.
