During my first year fishing jetties, just doing the rotation one night among a bunch of seasoned dudes, all strangers, I got flustered and panicked when one of the guys tells me im tangled on his line, while he is fighting a fish. Tried to undo whatever I did for a minute or 2, then figured it would be quicker to cut and run, since the last thing I wanted to do was to piss somebody off. Too bad i cut his line instead of mine. Boy did I feel stupid, but I felt a little better when I saw him catch a bluefish a few minutes later with his needlefish hanging out of its mouth, the one that I cut off.
Another one I did...I waded out to the mud flat off of the Mass. Maritine Academy ship with 20lbs of makerel in a bag in my herring basket cut for chumming/chunking. This flat is only accessible at low tide so when you go it's for six hours+/- and you are 200+yds. from shore looking at the Maritine ship between you and land and looking at the flat drop off into the canal. Start chumming and catching fish for about two hours when suddenly the fish stop hitting and I get cut off a couple of times and suddenly realize a shark (never saw him) picked up my chum slick and I am standing in waist high water....I backed out onto the highest point on the flat about two feet of water at high tide and waited till I could get back to shore safely; real spooky when it got to be dark. Last time I ever fished that spot. One other time I was out there fishing the far end I watched a boat try to go between me and the shore line heading for Buttermilk bay. Tried to wave at them to stop but it was too late they came to a stop and had to wait till there was enough water to free the boat. One of the women on board spotted me and they all started laughing at the guy who was behind the wheel.

had to be about 5 or 6 yrs ago in the breachway If memory serves correct, there were 15 or 20 rotating, and most were catching fish I was overwhelmed, since it was the first real blitz Id seen.
