Larry, I did say that the guy never even greeted me. I don't like to answer "Any luck?" to someone who I don't even know because my telling him "No" means I have to lie to the guy, and "Yes" would tip him off too much for a small spot. If it was reversed, I'll usually greet someone I don't know first, and if I get a reply, then I might venture to ask if he was having any luck. Usually, I'll wait for the guy to leave the spot and ask how he did, so it doesn't seem like I just got there and was looking for a report.
Have you ever thought that that "was" his greeting?JEEEZ!
As I said Harry..."Any Luck?" is my standard greeting to a fellow fisherman. Just because he asked it does not mean he is trying to learn all your secrets. Just being friendly. I won't be changing my greeting.....like it or not....thats who I am.
