I'll tell you what you don't respect my boundries when im on the shore your going to get more then a 3 oz sinker thrown at your boat.We as shore fishing guys work way to hard at getting too our spots.Now if I get to a spot and there is a boat or another guy allready there I will respect them and leave .

4 oz. Hopkins off the hull usually gets their attention. Whoops! Sorry!

Boats I can usually work around. It is the fcking lobster pots that piss me off.

Kayakers deserve a spot in this conversation. I've had my share of issues with them the past couple seasons. Just like with surfers, it's whoever gets there first.

HA! here we go...what's going to happen with all these new wet suiters swimming out to rocks that the beach guys like to throw their plugs to and around....you now become the boat...is it still ok to throw a 4 oz. hopkins at you in hopes you'll move else where? when one swims to a rock 50-100' out you have now killed that area for anyone else to fish thats on the beach.

Grapenuts...if I am out front first then its my spot.....I can always turn around and fire back! Second option is to head towards shore and kick some a$$!

You start throwing 4oz hopkins at my boat and I start throwing 9mm rounds at your head

So before all you surfguys get your panties in a bunch, the last post was meant to show how stupid this argument is. Just give each other the same respect you expect. It's real simple.

I have fished both ways from NJ to P-Town and never had a problem in the surf with boat fishermen or in the boat with surf fishermen. Just common courtsey.
