Those Folks who walk the beach
Have every bit the right to be there as we fishermen. And they are in just as much danger of losing access to that beach. It would be to our mutual interest (walkers and fishers) to get our noses out of the air and work together. If an unknowing soul happens to walk behind you, you won't die if you pause and let them pass, honestly. If they stop there, it's a perfect time to say hello and warn them rather than back cast a plug or fly at them. A little conversation won't kill you either. Work together, guys. If we don't, we lose it all.

On the other hand; chasing first light albies at Edgartown Lighthouse a few week back, most anglers were flyfishing, and taking up way too much space between them.Effectively, three flyrodders were taking up an area that five could have easily fished. And there was limited space behind them to get relocate. While I am usually not the first to cast a stone, when I got a dirty look from one particular fisherwoman, I let the whole group of them know that if they didn't tighten up, or make some room, there would be more than Deadly #^&#^&#^&#^&s flying through.......

Is a plug thrower who walks behind a flyfisher who's casting any smarter than a non fisher who walks behind a plug thrower? A plug thrower knows enough to wait a second and pass when the fly fisher works his presentation, yet doesn't and bitches about it. 
Bury who in the dunes and for what? Get friggin' real, this bickering and "mine, not yours" attitude is gonna get us ALL banned from the beach. We have a fraction of the access that we enjoyed 40 years ago and it's dwindling fast. Change this forum's name to "Bitchy Old Women" |
