Nothin ever violent, but I am astonished at how many times I have been offered to go out for a "drink" or "dinner" They must have been really desperate!!!!!
Bob Thomas and I were fishing the canal Cape side one night down behind the Christmas Tree shop. Probably 6-8 years ago now and it was early morning 2am-ish. A man walked over to us shaking saying he was just robbed at knife point while fishing. He said a group of guys walking by grabbed his wallet. Police were called. Not pretty but he was fine and a wallet can always be replaced.

And 4-5 years ago Bob and I "assisted" a EPO at the herring run in Bourne. Several irate guys were in his face yelling at him and it was ugly. Ever since then, the EPO stops and thanks us. No big deal though because nothing happened - just words.
Nothing has personally happened to me though.

Last year fishing the East end of the Canal on the Cape side all alone. The tide was running East and since I was alone I was not out at the point but I was working the the area well and getting fish..Around 2am 2 guys come out with their fishing gear head lamps on and flash lights shining all around. They come out to the end and set up right on top of me. They shine there light right in the water I was working and then in my face. I was nice and asked them to give me some room and to stop shinning there lights at me or in the water....Well they started mouthing off and I could smell the booze on them..one of them was swinging his fishing rod near me to taunt me..It was either walk away or throw them in....I decided to walk, I was not mad but was just so dissapointed in the lack of fishing respect...As I walked they kept at it...but i Kept walking.....no one else was on the canal that night so when I got to the parking lot there was only two vehicles in the parking lot, my truck and their car.....I was so tempted to check there tires for them but I did not.......
They must have been really desperate!!!!!
