Fishing Ettiquette

[AK-Jax86]

Fortunately for me I haven't ran into any people like you are talking about. I have had a few cops come and one told me to leave and come back after he leaves in case the person who called is watching, another was a female cop and she told me that people think they own the lake and they don't so I didn't have to leave.

Other than that I get the occasionally person walking their dog asking me what I am catching and their stories of fish they've seen. It's funny when you get the kids and you catch a fish they along with their parents get all excited it's pretty cool.

I don't think I would have reacted the way you did when the father is clearly trying to show his toughness in front of his family I would have to think really hard about not humbling him in that situation lol. Then he turns out to be a UFC fighter and kicks me *** and throws my fishing stuff in the water lol

I agree that in a lot of situations killing people with kidness is a good thing. Although if someone acts like a jerk while fishing, and youre nice about it then they would think that behavior is acceptable.

It has nothing to do with fishermans code or anything like that. It is just a common courtesy to give people their space and let live. It is very self centered and selfish not to be aware of your surondings not to mention you are not setting such a good example for your children by getting into it with someone. There are people like that all over the place. It all sounds like white noise to me.
