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

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

Tits on a boar and all that rot eh?

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.
