So How Far Would You Go?

[Eric Roach]

I feel for you. These situations take the enjoyment out of fishing. Jealousy, impatience, paranoia, thoughts of retaliation, etc.

Been there. I've chilled some but I can still get a little wrapped up in this stuff. In particular, trespassing on posted property gets harder to justify every year. Hard on the conscience.

Just let it go. What these guys do is out of your control. You'll feel better overall if you stop coveting it so much. Use this as an opportunity to find a new place to fish or return to an old spot and explore it further.

Personally, I'd write the spot off for a period of time, or only fish it well after midnight.
