DZ...sounds like a blatant attempt to "scare" folks from fishing "The Block"!

one night I saw a knife pulled and blood was drawn big time. it was horrible.

unfortunately Spence was the only person involved in the self mortification

That's only because every time I fish with Eben I get skunked

A good guide's mission is to put his client on fish, not catch fish

Last year was bad at Block. One guy had his rod tip snapped off. A guy I know had rocks put in the cup of his reel. They actually took off his spool and put rocks inside. Another guy had stuff stolen out of his vehicle. One night there I fished with a friend and we got back early in the morning and I had a flat tire. For many years I've been going there with mo problems. You could leave your rods out and your doors unlocked. Not anymore for me.

A few years ago I was fishing Southwest Ledge. We had just passed over a spot and got a 35 pounder on eels. When a charter Captain set on top of my drift. I thought no big deal he will drift over the hole then I drive around and drift over it too. As I drove around him he and his crew tried to wave me off. I ignored them and set right where I needed to be. It was a dark and snotty around dusk on a Sunday night. He powered up and came roaring at me aiming foramidships, and then just missed my stern. I was in a 24-foot center console, he was in a 40-foot sports fishing boat. He charters were horrified. He stopped about 30 yards above me. I flipped out and starting screaming at him. My buddy grabbed the gaff and I got the flare gun and then I drove my boat right up to his side and called him every name in the book. I then told him I had friends in the area and we would all kick his ass. If he wanted trouble. He took off for points unknown. I asked around and found out he was from the Cape and had a rep as a tough guy. More like a douche bag to me. I will gladly share his name if you want to know PM me. Those that know me would agree that I am not a voilent person or some sort of hard ass. I think that fear motivated me to act that way. I am not proud of my actions, It would have been better to just report the incident to the Coast Guard and drive away.

I have had several.NJ is a crowded place an unfortunately violence is the only language understood.most often a stern look or a few choice words gets the job done.

Back in the commercial days when the big girls were in abundance on the Back Beach, everyone "carried". I saw headlights taken out one night because the guy was shining them on the water. About 5 rounds from a 9mm Walters solved the problem. This is when Bass were fetching 2 to 3 bucks a pound and I knew some guys that had 900 to 1000 lb nights. Money corrupts

I ran into this guy around this time last year while fishing in my back yard who was ranting and raving how he was jumped while fishing.

He was a little battered and bloody but I think it was because he took a spill.He was absolutely hammered and kinda just babbling incoherently.That and a couple of the guides on his rod were smashed up.
