Tons of fish in the cap this weekend. Don't know where you guys were but I was fishing all by myself for the most part all weekend and caught over 10 fish on each day! Until....
Don't teach your kids to be idiots!
I was fishing on a nice stretch of river with a couple of other guys when someone asked me if I had caught any fish. I told the person that the fishing was great. The run we were fishing was huge and there was plenty of room for everyone. This guy then proceeds to set up right next to me. I mean right next to me! Once he has his b.s snagging rig on I remained calm and asked him to move down to where there is space and he told me (in broken English) to ..."go fish somewhere else if I don't like it!" One of the other guys on the river had some choice words with the person and he moved on. The next day I was down river from that spot and the same guy comes up to me with his kid this time. Same story...asks me if the fishing is good and....He speaks in some unknown language to the kid and then sets the kid up right next to me on my right side. He then moves to my left and tangles me up again. Now I have a snagger on both sides of me, shoulder to shoulder, and there is nobody else fishing this huge run! Another tangle some more words and this time I decide it is not worth my time to deal with this guy and leave.
Can you spot the problem here? It is not so much that this old guy is an idiot. I tell the story to illustrate that an idiot with a child is a curse. This guy is teaching his son both bad fishing ethics and bad manners! When fish bite so readily why do people fish with bare hooks? and why teach your son how to be an a**hole on the river by posting up right next to other people trying to enjoy a day out on the flow!
My two cents
