canal plugin etiquette - Striper Talk Striped Bass Fishing, Surfcasting, Boating

gone fishin · 06-02-2006, 10:55 AM

Absolutely uncalled for! Anyone casting over my back is totally out of line. I always have two rods rigged - one with topwata and one with a heavy jig in the ditch. If I was plugging, I would reel in real quick and throw the heavy over the plug and bring it to shore. tangled plugs get cut off!! If I didn't keep it it would be dropped by accident into the current.

I think that the regulars would surely back me up. Especially if they see it happening.

That plug cast from the path is just as dangerous on the pick up as it is flying overhead.

When I first started saltwater fishing I went to the canal with a Penn power stick and 6500 ss reel..I didnt know what I was doing but new enough not to cast over people. That is unacceptable! I would cut their line in an instant.

If its the greeks doing it,and it sounds like it is, just carry a slingshot and a can of unpitted olives for them next time.

Sounds like these guys need a blanket party - or a Ditch Sting

Or a Ditch Sting followed up by a blanket party

if you guys have a problem with the actions of the fellas you talk about, why don't you tell them? instead of slandering them on the internet, confront them with your concerns.

can you point out the so called slander to me? I didn't see anything slanderous with what Bob wrote. and yes I agree if you have a problem, take it up with them in person.

Whether the gents I referred to earlier were "the greeks" or not, my brother and I did have some words with them. Like I said, they left afterwards.

Simple coutesy is all I ask for. If they had asked first maybe things would have been different.....

Slipknot · 06-02-2006, 01:08 PM

clambelly, go back and read it, they DID confront them.
If you know them or are one of them, then why don't you tell them people are not going to keep putting up with that crap? I don't know which others you were talking to about speaking to them. Like I said , what is slanderous?

clambelly · 06-03-2006, 09:51 AM

i guess slander was the wrong word. ill try to do my research next time. my point was, why specificly point out certain individuals that aren't here to defend themselves? i know for a fact that the guys in question do not participate on these boards, so they have no way to respond HERE. sorry for the confusion. ill try not to step out of line again

Perhaps you can tell them that what they do is not cool?

im confused. this isn't my problem. ive never had this problem. ive never witnessed this problem. every time i fish the canal, or from the road in fact, ive never casted directly over someones head.

I`m confused to....sounds like you know them...Thats all I meant.

Anyone who would ntentionally piss off Bigfish would probably qualify as a person who underachieves intellectually. As a matter of fact I would have to say that persons I.Q. is more than likely in the minus range. Maybe even ameoba-like.

BigFish uses conversation and reason to explain to another fisher why he should not cast over his head

Followed by a size 16 to the A$$ to make sure they listened ??

And what are they going to do if they ge ta short strike 10 yards in front of you? I guess they'll suddenly get some restraint and not set the hook until they feel the fish? Yeah right.

NIB · 06-02-2006, 06:32 PM

If u fish at night u find u don't have that problem.
I have seen the mad biker gang, bunch of punks.
Sounds like a perfect example of everthing thats wrong with kids today.No respect.If i ever did something like that when i was young i better be prepared for a azz beating.From my old man if he found out.
I would volunteer to be there propa daddy for the day an learn em some manners.

Saltheart · 06-02-2006, 06:40 PM

The guy casting bait over me and Smokey was in the dead of night. You just can't avoid them all the time.

TheSpecialist · 06-02-2006, 09:44 PM

I am Greek and I took no offense to what Bob Thomas said. Personally I think they should be called the Malakas. If they did it to me I would stick a size 12 up their rear.

Thanks, Specialist. . . I meant no harm or "slander" by it...just how we've come to know them
