I don't know what him being new to fishing has to do with his agreement that casting over someone is not acceptable. I saw it as a bit of a dig but could be wrong.

anyway, casting over others is stupid and dangerous

I thought he was calling out 5/0, my bad...

It's things like this that discourage new people from joining or participating in/on forums like this. Didn't we all start fishing knowing nothing and then through practice and advice from others gain the knowledge to become good? I don't know about anyone else but I still enjoy fishing and from the sounds of the bitching on here and all the complaints about others it doesn't seem like many of you like to fish. Seems like many want to point out how "smart / stupid others are and build yourself up. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but IT'S THE INTERNET.... Get over yourself.... And just so there is no confusion here I was not ripping on anyone and tried to be level headed about this. Thanks for the apology to someone else for being a chode to me. Let's me know it's from the heart

This is true. Most would rather congregate and socialize on the access road...

It must be the wrong time of the month . August seems to have a longer wrong time of the month.
Less catching
more gum flapping.

Not so much OG.

That past set of tides, new moon, may have been the best of the year, so far. 8 straight days of great fishing if you were on the bait. The full moon tides of the previous weeks mornings were very good also. Lots of moving around paid good dividends. But when you move around a lot you run into people that have been sitting at a spot for the whole morning and thus you run into the spot jumping issue. I try to give the guy some room since he was there first but I am going to fish that area so I try to assure the person that I know what I am doing and there won't be a problem and I usually allow him first shot at fish if it seems like we both are going to go for it. Common courtesy IMO, and usually I am off and moving soon after.

I too Ross have no real understanding what the hell they are talking about but if it is about crowding out someone that issue will never change. If you are going to fish the canal you must expect crowding, stupidity, rudeness, and all that goes with having 30 plus lb fish 10 feet in front of you. It brings out the worse in many but I learned a long time ago that you can usually get what you want by being polite and accommodating. People with attitudes there usually leave unhappy. I have done stupid things there in the heat of the moment but I always try to apologize for my error and it usually is enough to quell the situation.
