    Default The things you hate most about spring fishing

    The trash left in the spots is one of the biggest annoyances. I usually have a trash bag with me, and try to clear up a spot a little, especially if I fish there a lot. But some people are such pigs, especially if they fish bait. Just drop their containers and bait stuff all over.

    I can't stand the boaters who think they own the surf. I am sick of them trying to coming close to shore. As far as I am concerned they are nothing but a bit of inconsiderate A-- Holes.

    The trash, and the crowds. If I am fishing a spot, why does a guy have to come right to where I am and set up 3 poles. This makes me mad the most when there are no other people close by. Why can't he go about 500 feet away, the fish will still be there...

    Get a kayak and this won't be a problem anymore.

    Not a great idea to put all boaters in one category, dude. However, last year at SH, there was a boat that came too close because the guys were drunk out of their minds. Almost ran aground. We tried to warn them, about 5 guys yelling at them. Finally they figured it out, and made it back to the rips.

    Didn't put them all in one catagory. There are just some guys who don't care.

    Yeah, but there are shore fishermen who do the same thing. There's one early season hotspot I never fish anymore because of the trash and guys pissing all over the place. If I had a house on that street, I would bother the town until they shut it down.

    I'm one of the bait guys, fish bait a lot. I always take away any trash with me, and try to make the area better than when I got there. But some people just don't care. They will be the first to scream when a place gets closed down.

    All these spots will become short lived as the towns will only take so much especially Deal heard most streets will be no parking soon

    Pay attention to what history has taught us or be prepared to relive it again

    Or the fact that with the regs it's like we don't have a fair chance to catch flounder at all.

    haha I have seen guys like that!!!! They come down to the bay like they're trying out for a part in a surfcaster movie. It's the bay dude! No need for a 11' rod or large capacity ZB or VS. Most of your fish are going to be schoolies you don't need a rod and reel that can winch a 40 poound bass in. Lol all night long at these doofuses!
