be careful when fishing alone

[woodpro1102]

Everyone here has some good points and I agree that you should carry SOMETHING to protect yourself. I have nothing against firearms but can understand that most people wouldnt want to deal with what happens after you shoot someone. A bat is a good choice, they even have those stubby bats made for clubbing fish which could be handy because you could keep it with you. A nice extractable baton would be a nice choice too. A good point was made that surf fishing at night is dangerous enough as it is weather it be slippery rocks or rough current, that gives me a nice little rush and adds to the excitement for me but the last thing I want to worry about is someone else putting me in danger. I dont get scared at night but I am very cautious when someone is around and I try to always be ready for anything that could happen. I like being on a beach with other anglers around, that is probably when I feel the most safe because hopefully they would try to help me like I would anyone else. Sorry for the long reply, I just think a good discussion came of this and would like to hear what other people have to say. Thanks alot.

I am not really sure of what the situation was, whether he was coming or going. I know if i was leaving and saw a bunch of guys partying in the parking lot perhaps being a bit roudy, i probably would have called the cops, hung back and checked out the scene before they saw me. Then again if i pulled into the parking lot and saw a bunch of guys drinking, i would have called the cops.
As i see it now, I am sure the gate will now start being locked up again making for a long walk being made longer.

Just got an update on all this. A buddy of mine was there when it went down.

Sounds like it was just a squabble between high school kids and NOT a fisherman that was under attack.

[woodpro1102]

That changes EVERYTHING! Many high school kids like to fight so let this be a lesson to them. Thats all that had to be said in this case lol. Either way, stay safe out there guys and try to buddy up whenever possible. Tight lines.

make sure it is a GLOCK they are made of plastic for the most part. Easier to clean and one other thing, no striations, in the barrell.

Where did you come up with bit of misinformation?

The body is a polymer and the rifling in the barrel isn't a right angle but more of a rounded fluting

[MakoMike]

The barrel is steel and it has rifling, otherwise you wouldn't be able ti hit the broad side of a barn with it. Striates the bullet just like any other gun. Most guns do not have 90 degree rifling.

Yes the barrel has rifleing but not your typical rifleing. Another reason why Glocks don't like straight lead. Rounds should be jacketed or copper coated in the least.

The army surplus stores probably carry hand grenades which are replicas or the real thing but not loaded. If they do carry a couple, pull the pin and threaten the thugs. If anything it would hurt more then a rock if thrown to the head.

hooper is right on . you better be ready . I have been robbed at gun point 2 times and shot at once ( accidentally ) . The guy who shot next to me was a basket case . He wasnt ready mentally . the 2 times I was robbed they wernt ready mentally either but I if I pulled my pistol who knows if they would have known they now have to go through with it .

I dont carry for many reasons but 1 thought is I dont want have to clean it religeously and if I dont the one time really I need it and it wont fire . oops bad move . I dont think I would have any problem shooting to save my life or someone elses but I dont want to have to find out .

I fish alone all the time mostly I carry a fishing rod with many lures that can be swung to cause some damage , maybe enough to get them to back off . If not then oh well .

as far as the guy that this happened to he may have been ambushed by them . and had no time to react . I dont know wasnt there . I hope all is well with him and they are put in jail . take my stuff but do ya really have to hurt me ?

too many asswipes
