its funny, the whole time im on the water I'm trying to stay out of the way of people....why is it never the other way around?

U stand in the surf an u try to cast out as far as u can.
U get a boat an u thro at land...
Most times a signal of some sort (light, or some jesture)
Gets there attention..I try to be nice at first.moma always told me u get more bee's with honey.
If that don't work well u know...
I have kept quite a few boats from comin ashore in this spot in NJ.
It all looks black sometimes u can't tell.
One night i was almost killed when a boat came ashore a few feet from me.
Helped em get back out it was a honest mistake.

Story from Race Point years ago. There were a bunch of us at the Second Rip. It's the middle of the night and this BIG cabin cruiser comes and anchors abot 50 yards in front of us. Turns on his spot light and starts scanning the shore and the water. We all yelled at the guy to turn his light off and move. He gave us the finger! Now this was during commercial season in the 70s. One of the guys, Lanny (and Back Beach you know how Lanny is) asks "Anyone got some 4oz pyramid sinkers in ther truck?" One of the guys did and everyone loads up there rods and fires at the boat. After some screams, a spotlight exploding and the sound of breaking fiberglass, the boat started up and hightailed it. We never saw that guy again.
