Too close for comfort.... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Sight you never want to see from the kayak.... I had a line out in the water, guess this guy was determined to set his line of traps exactly where I was fishing. Unbelievable. Working on the video from this weekend's fishing, will probably have uploaded tomorrow evening. Need to edit some choice words out of this footage before sharing.....

Welcome to Kayak fishing in Korea.

I'll take the other side here.....

The man is making a living.......like as in paying his bills and feeding his children......never mess with a man's paycheck.

Yes, it does suck that he was fishing fairly close to the kayaker but.......

Kids need shoes.

That is bull shit. If you did that to him when he's dropping or picking up his line, you would get more than a few choice words. Having that be his job is no excuse for being an ass hole and someday he might do something to someone else who is not going to tolerate it. Having courtesy should be everyones first thought or the ramifications could be life changing. People just don't think anymore and too many are just selfish.

Ahhh, Korean Pangas...gotta love'em!

The Korean writing on the boat pronounced, kuem pah.

Translated means, your fishing in my spot!

You know, I can even understand that. I used to set similar lines of crawdad traps on a friends boat. We would never pull a stunt like this.

If you really want to set there, come up and tell me first. Don't just set on top of me.

There isn't much in the way of common courtesy with any of the boaters here. Very rare to even have one slow down for you, no matter fresh or salt, or the kind of boat, or how close they come. Just a different mentality. Only thing you can do is pick up and leave.

Salas Big 5X cures a lot of problems like that.

Or flip some weighted Spectra across the prop, cut the line when the outboard grinds to a halt. Wish them a nice day.

좋은 하루 되세요!

It was a jerk move on the boaters part. You did the right thing by moving. Not worth the effort or possible injury to either of you.
