I'll give a quick polite hello, but I rarely ask how they are doing... How somebody else is doing usually has little to do with how I'm about to do... (they might be an idiot fishing a bomber with a chunk of bunker on the tail hook.) besides, when has ANYONE ever told you they were crushing them???

Hey how's it going or how ya doing. Any luck? If you say I got a couple, or nothing doing that's fine. I'm going to fish the spot I intended to anyway. And if someone is in my spot (which is really nobody's spot) I will fish somewhere close to where I intended. And if you ignore me or act like a jackass I will say HEY GO F%%% YOURSELF ARE YOUR EARS PAINTED ON? and probably drop a handful of trebles behind your pampas tires.

Excuse me kind sir, please do not immediately get upset or assume I am here to highjack your spot, tangle your line, spy on what you are doing then run home and post our, i mean your success all over the internet as if it was my information; I have been fishing this spot since my father taught me and intended to fish here all by myself but alas you are here before me so I felt I should at least make the appropriate greeting so that you are not offended in any way shape or form as that is surely not my intention. I will pass by you and find a spot out of your way where there is absolutely zero possibility of my bothering you anymore than I probably already have. Oh yeah, before I forget kind sir, any luck?????

I go with - Whats up? Hows it going? How you doing?
Meeningless questions really, not expecting to get anything but a hello.
Just like to acknowledge my fellow human being.
Not looking to start up a conversation with someone who is fishing.
And if you were to need help I might be the only one around, be it a medical situation or just a light, hey I even have extra eels sometimes.

i like to either sneak up behind them real quite and scream SHARK and scare the Pissa outta them or even better, swim up in front of them...............I have always talked to everyone I come across and have been always more than generous with giving them the truth, wether they wanna give me a line of BS or not. Doesn't matter. I am a social butterfly. Usually just happy to see another soul out there that is insane enough as I am to be fishing the places and times I do. Always good to compare notes, truth betold or not.

Hi , or just a nod. Sometimes a good one if the situation is right is to say "How ya doin". He can take it as a typical greeting like hi or maybe he launches into how he's doing fishing. The choice is theirs.  |
