If you get cut off by an over-enthusiastic boater, the best you could hope for would be for him/her to have to pull their boat to get the line (braid?) off of their lower unit/prop.
It still amazes me that as big as the ocean is, some people will ride right up your butt instead of finding their own piece of water.
I will remind any rookie boaters I'm with that it's not proper etiquette to crowd someone else drift, or to run and gun to every school of breaking fish within sight.
Hopefully the powers that be will reward you, and punish him accordingly.

Ya, i hate it when the boat guys come in so close and put down the fish, let alone cut off your line.
There are so many places they can move to quickly, no need to crowd the shore bound surf guys.

Funnie thing is when your in the surf ya always think the boat guys are catchin betta.

Learned trick from Capesam. Same conditions. Was wirelining,(not my MO, but good for this) and these yahoos kept coming close to crossing us. When they finally did, I put the reel in freespool and let him take ALL the wire to wrap around his shaft! Very effective way to ruin someone's day, or evening in this case. Was worth the price of the wire. And we beat feet outta there so he had no choice but to call Seatow......
