Have run into 2 times and didn’t say anything at first just mossed by then he got all kinds of huffy .I had no intention of stopping until then.I stopped and cast my lure.well he went ballistic.I looked at him and laughed out loud said do you know how ridiculous you look and sound people that were down always started laughing also at first he became angrier then all of a sudden he started to laugh.think he realized that he didn’t own the beach .don,t know if he changed after that I hope so

Fishing is fun, then sometimes it’s not. It’s really territorial at best. If you’re within casting distance of another fisherman in my opinion, you are to close. But then again, we don’t own the water. Here’s a true life fishing example. When I began bass fishing in Washington, in 1968, I fished the banks, bridges, docks etc.. I dreamt of gettin a boat So I could fish any where I wanted. . Then it happened. I got my first boat and what did I do? I fished the banks, points and docks. WHY? THATS WHERE THE MAJORITY OF FISH ARE1 Figure it out? Fishing is fun. If someone wantS to plop down next to you, welcome it. Meet a new friend and share experiences. The waters are available to “all”.

Was one tuesday early afternoon, figured i'd be somewhat alone on this particular creek.I was casting on this pool i knew had some big trout...even a salmon was a possibility. Then i hear a ruckus behind me coming down the bank and three guys were bragging how they had cleaned out that hole the previous day.Without even a "how ya doin" the head honcho, wearing waders of course, just walked right into the creek about five yards away from me and proceeded to come towards the pool i had a line in, casting his lure at will.I started seeing red and waited for him to step directly in my range, wich he did without a care in the world. Little man didnt see by then i had swapped out my baited hook and tied on the largest surface lure i had in my chest pocket box. I made a cat past his back leg..let it float near enough to where it hooked into his waders as i pulled hard near line test breaking strength, and said "oops im sorry" as it ripped his expensive waders...i believe they're the soft 5 mm chest waders. Never the less, he turned and saw this large fisherman behind him retrieving his lure and line...he took off, muttering something. I stayed to see if him and or his friends would come back to try to reestablish dominance over that spot...never did see them again the next few times i was there. So yeah...weekends are dumb to try to get some angling in...especially now. It was no picnic before, either.The week days are much better, or were.At least for me.

Fishing weekdays is one of the great perks of being retired!

Yes it is! Covid hurt this year but hopefully it was just this year.

When bank fishing or wading in rivers I give others the space if they were there before me and for the most part other fishing persons offer the same respect. What really pisses me off and with the hot weather this summer is more frequent is when I am fishing some jerk brings their two labs and tosses water toys into the river and the labs have great fun chasing them creating all kinds of ruckus. Fish gone. Our the bring their kids , tubes, flotation devices extra loud radios and the fish are gone. Unfortunately it’s even happening on weekdays. Likely ignorance but irritating none the less.

I have to agree with you Ben. I have been wade fishing in the middle of the White River in Arkansas and had guides with their clients pull into the hole I was working. The funny thing was pulling trout after trout from underneath their boat and I enjoyed making comments to his clients as to what a great guide they were using as they never caught a fish and they were within 20 feet of me. It made me mad but I did have the last laugh.
