Fishing is almost becoming a conact sport

VB I dont remember the last time I was tangled up with anyone at Wasque. Fish there for 10 days every sunrise in the fall every day. This is the same guy that waded 20' in front of my brother while he was casting last year. He didn't just wade in front of my brother he fished as he went in front of him. I was 125 to 150 feet from this guy and he took it personel. And when he saw me coming he tried to cut me off from where I was heading. And yes Larry, I caught on the first cast, had eight on and landed six. Larry I'll take you with me anytime. I dont go out of my way to bother anyone. I'll give him another chance at behaving, beyond that, maybe a four ounze cripple herring hookless will do the trick.

Crippled Herring slices too much when you cast it....you want dead on accuracy? 4 ounce Hopkins is the weapon!

Or you could always wade over smiling until you are close enough to drive the butt of your surfrod into his solar plexus; holding his head under water for a few minutes is optional (depending upon visibility and potential witnesses). You would probably be doing his family a favor, sounds like a wife beater to me...

I guess we're gonna have to step up that steroid testing to include fishermen now it's getting bad

should have just gone up current from him and took a leak....Assuming the water was shallow enough so he knew what you were doing.

Now that would be funny!!

I had an experiance that really pissed me off today. I went to the Lawrence dam on the Merrimack river today to check out the flow and fish for a little while. That location is always crowded, but today took the cake. When arriving, there were about six guys fishing chunk from the boat launch and one or two others with light tackle close to the dam. I was trying a plug or two, but the river flow was too fast to actually work the plugs. I then decided to just watch the action. In a period of 1/2 hour the guys fishing bait had hooked up more than four or five times. Most were in the range of 12 to 14 inches and they went back. The two fish that really buzzed me were about 20 to 24 inches and they stuffed them into a plastic bag and hustled them into one guys trunk. I called them on the short fish and they told me to f--- off ! Another guy that was watching got the same treatment. The fellows with the light tackle came over to the crew and had a bucket of Herring. When I confronted him he also had a comment to make.
That kind of attitude is not necessary and really pissses me off. I don't speak their language but got the feeling that if I didn't leave they were definately going to see if I could swim!!
The only satisfaction that I was able to get from that event was to drop a dime and call the guys in green. I just hope they nail the whole bunch! I felt funny after calling - that is the first time I have ever called on anyone.
