Access issues, parking restrictions,.... now Fireworks?

Did you try casting in the direction of the fireworks origin?? Just kidding! Do you think they were intentionally firing them at you or were they just coincidental?

Happens all the time............

Yeah, sure does. Last time for me was at 1 am, fish were just starting to show in close and then BAMMN -these kids had world class fireworks and they continued for nearly 1/2 hour because it was on a section of beach only accessible with a 4x and the cops had to wait for a unit to go out there. Needless to say, the fish were gone. You'll never convince me that bass don't get spooked by bright lights..........

spence and Justfishin':

Sounds like I am not the only one and that the only option is to move to a new spot as quickly as possible. Bright sudden burst of line...spook fish...no question (in my humble opinion).

BigFish:

No. Coincidental.
But, I did think about casting some metal or lead at some jetskiers once, who nearly cut my line! Those village idiots were intentionally coming towards "my water" as if they were running out of water in the ATLANTIC OCEAN.

Thank you for "hearing me" and for posting.

PS

I am going back tonight (different hot spot) to battle waves, sharks, line breaking blues, fireworks, and jetskies. It's a good thing I love this sport. :-)

It has happened to me also. On July 3rd though. There were 6 kids drinking on the beach. I waded out to the sandbar when they started throwing rocks. I moved out some more and they started firing off bottle rockets so I moved out some more. They lost interest in a few minutes. I decided to take another way around past them so I could get by safely. On the way back I called the cops. I knew what car they were in since they were parked illegally down the street from me. I got up there and the cops never showed. I was watching out for them for an hour so I took the law in my own hands and strategically placed on of my dogs "presents" on their door handles. Went home changed, put on a hat and a different pair of sunglasses and watched them come back to the car. You should have seen those fireworks.
