canal plugin etiquette - Striper Talk Striped Bass Fishing, Surfcasting, Boating

When I first started saltwater fishing I went to the canal with a Penn power stick and 6500 ss reel..I didnt know what I was doing but new enough not to cast over people. That is unacceptable! I would cut their line in an instant.

If its the greeks doing it,and it sounds like it is, just carry a slingshot and a can of unpitted olives for them next time.

Sounds like these guys need a blanket party - or a Ditch Sting

Or a Ditch Sting followed up by a blanket party

if you guys have a problem with the actions of the fellas you talk about, why don't you tell them? instead of slandering them on the internet, confront them with your concerns.

can you point out the so called slander to me? I didn't see anything slanderous with what Bob wrote. and yes I agree if you have a problem, take it up with them in person.

Whether the gents I referred to earlier were "the greeks" or not, my brother and I did have some words with them. Like I said, they left afterwards.

Simple coutesy is all I ask for. If they had asked first maybe things would have been different.....

clambelly, go back and read it, they DID confront them.
If you know them or are one of them, then why don't you tell them people are not going to keep putting up with that crap? I don't know which others you were talking to about speaking to them. Like I said , what is slanderous?

clambelly · 06-03-2006, 09:51 AM

i guess slander was the wrong word. ill try to do my research next time. my point was, why specificly point out certain individuals that aren't here to defend themselves? i know for a fact that the guys in question do not participate on these boards, so they have no way to respond HERE. sorry for the confusion. ill try not to step out of line again

Perhaps you can tell them that what they do is not cool?

im confused. this isn't my problem. ive never had this problem. ive never witnessed this problem. every time i fish the canal, or from the road in fact, ive never casted directly over someones head.

Anyone who would ntentionally piss off Bigfish would probably qualify as a person who underachieves intellectually. As a matter of fact I would have to say that persons I.Q. is more than likely in the minus range. Maybe even ameoba-like.

BigFish uses conversation and reason to explain to another fisher why he should not cast over his head

Followed by a size 16 to the A$$ to make sure they listened ??
