Glad to hear he was able to follow them and contact the authorities. Hope he is ok, but also hope he's a member or knows a member to provide some intel about these fools. Should they even be seen in an area of fisherman again maybe a smile and a pat on the dive knife or long handled gaff will wake them the f#%k up and let them know I know who you are and it's game on.   |

That was my first thought too. He would probably negotiate his way out of it without using force though.  |

Mac, maybe we should dig out our K-bars and hang them off our surf belts.......... Hell, if I felt threatened, my 1088 would be more than just a deterant, could do some serious damage to someone, even if I had to sacrifice the rod.

This just sucks! I hope the fisherman is okay and these scumbags get convicted of assault and get some time, but that probably won't happen in this state.
I fish alone all the time, and just carry a knife with me, and I would rather leave than be confrontational as I have a family to consider, but stories like this make me want to get my pistol permit.
The last thing I want is to have to deal with someone looking to screw with me when I am fishing, unfortunately, you run into some strange characters and the odds go up that you will encounter some bad characters, or alcohol or chemically impaired punks when you are out in the middle of the night alone at some places. I would rather have the ability to defend myself rather than have my skull crushed in after handing over a wallet.
There is a post on another forum about a fisherman from Long Island that is missing. A determination has not been made as to what happened Friday night, but this guy has not returned home. I hope he shows up home alright and hope that he is not the victim of violence or fishing accident - it appears that he was fishing alone too.

A sidearm while fishing...are you guys n#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g futs?
If anything carry pepper spray, anything else isn't going to be worth the legal hassle when you have to justify defending yourself.

Silly not to? It's not like we live in that violent a place. Granted, I feel for the guy, but this seems to be a very isolated event...

Better to be judged by twelve than carried by six.
What legal hassle (other than defending yourself against use of lethal force?) are you referring to?
Mass issues LTC in many cases and Rhode Island is SHALL-ISSUE for residents.
Anyways...
