Surfcasting and boats near shore

[RIROCKHOUND]

I see divers in front of me, I'll be pissed, but I have a few reasons not to cast at them
1. I know a lot of them in RI. they are good guys and wouldn't do it on purpose
2. It just isn't right. You snag them in the head by accident, you aren't going to be too happy. I dont know how good you are with a plug, but, casting a popper or hopkins, I'm not accurate to 10ft all the time...
3. They have spear guns. I don't.

I fish 99.9% at night, after dusk and before dawn.
I have had one problem w/ a Yak, who came across the front of the rocks. I posted a rant here, and got a PM apologizing w/in a day. He didnt see me on mky rock, no lights on me or him. %$%$%$%$ happens.
The only time we've seen boats that close to where we fish is when they were on the rocks. Ask PIemma... he could have fallen out of the boat, and not hit water, as the expression goes...
You guys are further reinforcing why I dont fish open shorelines during day/dusk.... I'm sure there are a lot of stupid people out there in boats, and wetsuits, but I've met my share of goons on the rocks too...
