Ken, a fly rod wouldn't have made a welt on that heifer. Maybe a flippin'
stick, but a fly rod, no way. :)

Yep Ken, you just don't get that waving a flyrod around now, do ya? LOL!

What do you think, should I maybe give the canoe a red metal flake
paint job or is it the fly rods that run off the armed, buck naked
275 pounders ? ;-)

I like the idea of a red metal flake canoe personally. :-)

I was bank fishing this public state owned pond, about 30 acres and it was
long and narrow, probably about 7 or 800 feet across, and here comes this
model boat club, and they set up camp across the pond from me. I was like,
"cool, this ought to be neat to watch". I kept on fishing. Next thing I
know, these things are whizzing around the whole damn lake at about 40 or 50
miles an hour, and they kept getting closer and closer to me fishing. One
came about 20 feet away from me and about hit my line, and I heard them all
chuckle and laugh over there.

In my state that could get those RC boaters jail time, as they would
infringing on a Constitutional right for people to fish. It is a felony
in Alabama to in anyway interfere with a person legally fishing
First of all ,Dick Short, one has to weigh how much of this is just
B.S. Now you take the spammer here Steve,he`s kinda like that asshole
Edwards running for president----------he`ll say anything to get more
money. Edwards needs campaign money.......Steve needs paltry clients
for his spam business. A juxtaposition indeed.....yet it still reveals
the quality of both. Sorry grubbers who will compliment anyone for any
ends. By Golly!!

Hey, don't tell anybody, but I might actually own a flyrod... or two....or
three...

Nope, I hunker down on a rock as I wait for their to be enough light for me
to safely wander out into the water and wrap both hands around the cut and
folded beer can I had to use to for my coffee because I forget my darn
coffee cup.

Then I cuss and swear when I cut my lip on the one sharp corner that didn't
get folded over properly.

We have an anti harrasment law here in Az too, but I have never even one
time heard of anybody ever enforcing it.

We have a number of PETA members behind bars now, for trying to scare
the fish from guys in a tournament. I asked the local game Warden about
that law, he told me he had made five arrest in two years on it, on four
of those cases the fishermen got the numbers off the boats (or PWCs) and
swore out warrants. He told me they take that law very seriously here.
He also said you really need more than one witness or a good photo, or
video which is much better, (which nearly all digital cameras, and many
phones can now take) for a conviction.

A few years back down at Gulf Shores West Pass, they nailed 4 guys for
anchoring a boat in the way that blocked off about 30 beach fishermen
from fishing the out going tide for red fish, these guys saw "us"
catching reds on every cast, and just anchored right were the fish were
holding,(they tried to fish there themselves, but instead they did a lot
of lead dodging from us), they also cut every line that crossed their
boat. I walked up on the street and flagged down a cop, they spent 6
months in jail over that little deal. Of course them threatening that
cop I'm sure had something to do with their jail time.

Oh yeah Rodney, it's the law I think pretty much across the board. Here in
Indiana though, I, as well, have never heard of anybody actually being
convicted of the crime though. It's unfortunate that so many times you see
things, and there's no way to get proof. Besides, with those RC boaters, I
got more satisfaction then if they were jailed. That memory will last
forever....

Alabama instituted it to stop "PETA" from disrupting bass tournaments,
it seams to have been very effective. Bass tournaments bring many
millions of dollars into our state each year. SO they did it for the
money :-)
