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

I'm in no way saying that the boater showed courtesy or anything....just pointing out that we are out there trying to relax they have money driving their intensity.

It's just not worth our time or stress to even get upset over this stuff.

The best revenge I was able to have on a panga that set his nets right on our fishing area was to move over and pull out a pig grouper ....right in front of him!

The lack of common courtesy prevails everywhere. Not just in Korea.

I had something simular happend to me as well. A guy came up to four of us yaking and starting setting long line right next to us. As soon as I brought a monster Cab this guy says I cant be within 500 YARDS of his lines he just set next to us. I told him very nicely with a grin Im sorry Ill just peddle in and fish from shore ok. He then replied with a smart ass coment about fish and game. I politley told him dont worry I will call fish and game for you. I pulled my phone out and dialed the Vandenberg fish and game. He then pulled lines and went somewhere else. Didnt have to yell or fight with the guy. I understand hes trying to make a living but theres a diference in bad judgment and good judgment. My opionion based off experince!
