Things You Love That People Do When You Are Fishing!

[luds]

Somehow everyone that I run into that is not fishing always asks, "Are the stripers runnin?" They say this all year round so it's not like their in tune with spring/fall runs.

That is my most hated quote......"Are they runnin?"......I hate the term...it sounds quite newby if you ask me!! Seems only non-fishermen use the term!

Slingah is surely hanging around here laughing right now!

I hate brothers that look just like you and say that they are a better fisherman.
I hate sandeel mustaches.
Crab-claw pipes!
My all time serious gripe is throwing a tennis ball right into my spread so Fido can "go fetch."
Also boats that troll in close so they can cut us off.
Seals!
Mung!
The guys who tell you that they were catching five minutes ago.
Hooks in hands.
Oh the list goes on!
Later,
Bitter Rick

I hate brothers that say, "Oh I'm so cool" and shave their heads and grow goatees and try and catch fish to look like their cooler balder bigger gaoteed more fish catchin younger brothers. I also hate fancy pants techy gear buying reets that can't catch squat!!!!!!

my buddy Doug's answer to that is:
"Running?.. Get out!.. I can get 'em on land?.. And I been wasting all this time tryin to haul 'em out of water.. Jeeesh!.. Who Knew?.. I thought they f****in' swam.. Hey..thanks for tellin me they run.. now I know!"
Usually about have way thru this.. they get the big picture.. and scoot.


Pretty much the same as above.. light shiners.. spot watchers, and jumpers.. and the ones that watch, (like Bob said), then hit their cell phones when the guys that have been fishing start to catch.. and their buds all come after the call...and jump in your shoes..

All the above plus any other not yet mentioned covers it for me.

Walked up path to a beach, to be met by 2 unleashed dobermen's a month ago in RI - just about <sh:t> in my waders... owner called dogs back, good thing they obeyed.

The famous question, goin fishin ? most usually meets with a wisea$$ comment, unless i'm in a good mood .

I still have good peripheral vision, so i always look forward to setting up for a cast when the "too close shorewalker" gets about 10 ft. from me, they always move off when staring 3/0s in the face.

I hate when I'm flyfishing in current and someone drifts a chunk right down in front of me. And when someone sees me releasing fish and asks if they can have it.
