Mikey, that's ten responses. I guess they teacha no math at AIC
Here's my list
#1. Mikey harassing me at work in the middle of a busy Saturday night to find out what time I'm meeting him in Truro.
#2. Mikey drinking all my beer, that's why we've run out
#3. Mikey putting funny stuff all over me, then posting it on the internet
#4. Paying for a charter for me and Mikey, to only have him wrestle away the only fish that I've had on all day
#5. Mikey's farts because he forgot to go to the bathroom before he left the campground.
OK boys and girls, that's it.

1. Fly-by-night light tackle guide when he fishes off watch hill, no consideration for shorefishermen OR other boaters. Will do anything for for a 5 pounds schoolie.

2. Guys who come in at watch hill at night and leave their high beams on the water for 5 minutes to watch the surf. Of course they don't have a care in the world for the half dozen guys that have been there all night

3. Moochers... You catch a nice fish, theyre on your back the whole time you're fighting it and they harass you to give it to them while youre taking it off the hook

4. People that gaff every fish they catch in the gut, then release them.

5. Guides that fish monomoy that can't even tell the difference between a silverside and sandeel, yet they're they're experts and they know more than you.

Lot of bitterness and anger here. I thought fishing was supposed to be fun? Maybe you should smoke some more wacky weed whilest angling, I here that mellows you out a bit. I of course, would not know...

1. winter... Van, skiing doesn't replace fishing. I can say that b/c I don't ski.
2. missing great fishing... like seeing huge blitzes on the way home from work, I know I have to work, but I actually have the time to take, so its frustrating to have other factors prevent that... at least my time carries over, so I'll have tons of vacay time next year.
3. bass migrating south... was it something we said?
4. leaving the rag I used to clean up the bluefish blood and vomit in the front left storage box for a week
5. someone telling me that my fish don't count b/c it doesn't fit into their narrow view of the sport... for example, not on plugs, not on bait, not big enough, not on the right rod, reel or line, my rod sucks, my rod is too expensive, I'm a snobby boater, I'm a jealous surf fisherman, my rod is off the rack, my lures are not homemade, that trip was guided, that fish is not a striper, that fish is a freshwater fish, nantucket sucks, you didn't stay out all night till you keeled over, so you ain't hardcore, and last but not least, its like shooting ducks in a barrel, you're fish don't count b/c they are from the BOAT.

Washrat....I don't wait for people to show up for fishing If they ain't there, they know where I am and they can catch up. Basically...I don't fish with people I have to wait for.

1. The drive to and fro....

4. locals that bitch youre in their spot (in a national park) hey honey I pay the same taxes you do.....sorry but I have been fishing there since I was a wee little girl.
5. people that take shorts/too many, waste or trash the beach....

Ok, since I started catching Stripers again after my 2 week slump, I'd like to redo mine lol.

1.) Birdsnests, loop-diddy-loops, and yo-yo's, right in the middle of a Bass Blitzkrieg. Really pisses me off. Happened today, coulda caught over 20 fish, but only got about 15 cuz I had to take a "time-out". CRAP

2.) The not taking a dump thing before going out, I have to agree. I almost pooped 'em Saturday afternoon. Luckily I was only down the street from my house. The people passing me as I was driving home could see I was in pain.

3.) Forgetting what line I had on a back up reel, that casts so well, and having to settle for some dog#^&#^&#^&#^& stuff that takes about 100 feet off my cast. I had an emergency the other day, and had to swap rods and reels and everything else. Really put a damper on the day.

4 Losing my friggin Skitter Pop's. My favorite lures, and I've lost 2 in the past 2 days. PISS ME OFF

5.) $500 reels. Give me a break. I love great design and uality, but give me a break.
