Absolutely uncalled for. This happened to my brother and I last year at Murderer's Row. Three bikers showed up and started casting right over me from the road. I don't have much patience for that kind of sh_t and I let them know it. They proceeded to ask me what I was going to do about it. My brother was about 30-50' feet away and came over and asked if there was a problem. Only took a few seconds for them to realize we weren't going to tolerate that kind of intrusion (if they had asked, maybe a different story). I'm sorry, just plain rude and not sportsmanlike......

If you really need to cast over someone a sleep - nerve gas bomb is best. That way the fisher doesn`t even know what happened so there is no hard feelings.
Though I cannot fathom someone who would do that  |
Good health and family

One more question---if I'm using a Squidder and Harnell, instead of being a monkey with a hi-tech outfit, can I go ahead and cast, or do I still have to wait for the guy up top to unload first   |

Let the guy up top take the first cast (like he is going to ask anyway) and while he is retrieving.....roll his bike into the canal!  |

Ever have your thumb slip off the spool during your backcast?   |

I have a feeling I know the 3 you talk about. They're referred to as "The Greeks" down there. Kids from Brockton. They do it ALL THE TIME! We've confronted them about it saying if their plug breaks off, we're gonners. Their reply is "It won't" and they keep casting. Mayhem at best!
No business at all casting over someone! It is just calling for an accident or an "Incident"  |

Funny to see a post about this. Went to the ditch for the first time in a couple years (used to fish it more when I lived in Wareham) last weekend with the 'breakin' tides' and was in awe when the bike guys showed up and started launching from the bike path. The water was so low I don't know if I could reach it from the path! And here I was so happy to be wading in the ditch for the first time. I thought these we're the canal "sharpies" and I was thinking I need a bike and one of those snazzy conv. rigs. Didn't see them catch anything though, they were gone as soon as they came, apparently chasing that one bass I saw chasing that one piece of bait on top right at daybreak.... I like to relax when I fish, that's probably the most appeallling thing about it. Fishing the canal everyday when it's busy reminds me of the morning commute.  |

Sorry Dave. Read it wrong.
I have to admit I've cast from the road, but never over anyone's head---or, at least never over the head of anyone I wasn't friends with 
It's basically the same deal as when a bunch of guys are standing at the water and a fish breaks. If I see it before anyone else, I'm casting on it. Even if it's not right in front of me. If someone else gets on the break first, I hold up. If the guy misses, the fish is fair game for anyone else  |
