I have seen this more times then I can count I don't know if it's stupidity or or ignorance.Most guys will move away if they see you or if you ask them for some room, which we should not have to ask though.I know if I owned a boat I wouldn't be fishing close to a shore were I knew there was people fishing.There is plenty of rock piles and other structures away from the shore to fish.
I'll say this...there's just so many fish holding spots in the great pond we call the sea...should be first come gets the spot..but people in general don't give a chitt be it by land or sea.....I've been thrown at and have thrown at them....may the best caster of a 30z. bank sinker wins......or pack a paint ball gun in your gear.
I'll tell you what you don't respect my boundries when im on the shore your going to get more then a 3 oz sinker thrown at your boat.We as shore fishing guys work way to hard at getting too our spots.Now if I get to a spot and there is a boat or another guy allready there I will respect them and leave .
Kayakers deserve a spot in this conversation. I've had my share of issues with them the past couple seasons. Just like with surfers, it's whoever gets there first.
4 oz. Hopkins off the hull usually gets their attention. Whoops! Sorry!
HA! here we go...what's going to happen with all these new wet suiters swimming out to rocks that the beach guys like to throw their plugs to and around....you now become the boat...is it still ok to throw a 4 oz. hopkins at you in hopes you'll move else where? when one swims to a rock 50-100' out you have now killed that area for anyone else to fish thats on the beach.

Grapenuts...if I am out front first then its my spot.....I can always turn around and fire back! Second option is to head towards shore and kick some a$$!
