I get ready to fish a little of the dropping tide when...

[beaver]

I was there one morning, all by myself, when a car pulls into the empty parking lot right next to my car. After I try and discretely catch and release two fish, the driver of the car comes down and fishes about 20 feet from me. Mind you I was the only one fishing until he came down.

He was an older gentleman so maybe he just wanted to be close in case he needed some help (which I could have given if he was say 50 ft away), but that was a little too close. If I had begin to cast lefty there was a good chance I could have swung it right by his nose he was that close. We ended up getting into some fish though with no problems so I really didn't mind. I mean there are no fish in the canal.

You're complaining about a guy 20' away? There are times when I'd give my left nut for that much room

At Bell Rd, at least you don't have to duck for the road casters

How true. Anyone read about the woman Who fell in at Bell Road? she was damn lucky to have someone see her at mid chanel, and have a guy help with the rescue.

She didn't fall in--she jumped off the end of the RR bridge fixed approach span. She apparently has a history of half-hearted suicide attempts. I'm told that the police found a couple of empty vodka bottles in her car, too.

Thanks Mike - that explains a lot. Sorry Soul, I hope she gets help.
