first off when its that freaking busy out there you cant help but get close to a boat or another kayaker.....i was sometimes feet away from other kayaks with no tangles or any stink eye....all of us seem to be cool. in fact despite the close proximity of everyone....i didnt see any tangles or issues. come to think of it....i dont think the fish have a problem with it either or engine sound for that matter....when i saw everyone get slammed it was right next the chubasco II.....the only thing that would have happened if people were closer was more people would have hooked up. Have some respect......shit....respect us kayakers and stay off our fishing grounds

The blatant disrespect towards yakkers that I saw a couple evenings ago was pretty ridiculous. And I see it all the time. I am sick of PBs rolling right up on me if I am hooked up on something, trolling their lines within feet of me while I am trying to get a fish in. And it amazes me how often I hear pb'ers on the water talking about "I heard of a few kayak fish caught yesterday". Give respect if you expect it. If I have to paddle through a 1x1 mile fleet of 100 boats anchored 20 yards off each other just to get home (with my lines up) you can suck my left nut if you have a problem that I am there. Don't drop anchor in the middle of a circus and expect a 100 yard clearance from kayaks who have no where else to transit. You are bitching about the kayakers but saying nothing about the other 10 boats within 20 yards of you.

Im not exactly sure what this person is talking about but thats ok. I am always sure to be well clear of other peoples lines etc. I deliberately went to the perimiter because of the density of the powerboats. There are numerous times I have been out on the water alone only to have a powerboat bear down on me like I was a target at 25 knots.

The story here is for the newguy or the frustrated fisherman, not an oppurtunity to jack a thread because of some percieved wrong doing, which I dont believe happened. The closest boat to me was Chubasco, and only when my fish ran that way did I get closer than about 100 yards.

In addition, while fighting my fish I am always careful to maneuver my boat away from other vessels so there is no conflict.

Dos ballenas, If you ever want to discuss proper etiquette on the water, send me a pm.

To all of the other folks, thanks for the great comments.

CONGRATS ON SOME NICE FISH

It is not "OUR FISHING GROUNDS"

Everyone should have the exact same rights, power boater or kayaker.

If you are nice and respectful....it does not matter what vessel you are on.

You can find idiots on kayaks and power boats.

It is summer,
flat
weekend

If you think that you can have a PRIME San Diego (So. Cal) fishing spot to yourself you are likely in for a lot of frustration.

Lets be polite and nice to eachother, even if someone else makes a mistake or just does not know any better.

It is just fishing.
