I have had one encounter with a more experienced fisherman who found my questions annoying but I gave him the old Boston salute (put your hand in front of you with all your fingers raised....now lower all but the middle one).<br /><br />Hey Howard........I hear you and that is why I said discretion is the better part of valor. I am sure that you charm the knuckleheads into a better state of mind.<br /><br />Sanders I agree that they are the exception. I am reminded of Henry Winkler's book about how he never met a jerk while fishing. For the most part I believe that to be true. <br /><br />Thanks guys for the feedback.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15477992287185406912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5519730979520649673.post-36741834086982432832011-09-27T18:52:10.798-04:002011-09-27T18:52:10.798-04:00Well, I would be the first to admit that I have cu...Well, I would be the first to admit that I have cursed like a drunken sailor after losing some fish. However, it is always when no one else is around, and I seriously doubt that anyone would be able to hear anyway.<br /><br />That being said, I have ran into the occasional fisherman that is very vocal with the way they present themselves on the water. I tend to classify these guys as the "Al Czervik's" (Rodney Dangerfield from Caddyshack) of the world. They are typically oblivious to their surroundings and think that they own the place. There has only been one occasion when I actually confronted one of these guys, and I'm not sure it did any good. But it at least made me feel better for saying something. <br /><br />I think that the loud obnoxious types in this sport are the exception, not the rule.Sandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06700676412329394331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5519730979520649673.post-80259803274051361232011-09-27T18:13:28.196-04:002011-09-27T18:13:28.196-04:00Mac, in this day and age sometimes it's better...Mac, in this day and age sometimes it's better to leave things unsaid, even in the most helpful way. However, I'm never one to take my own advice. I don't suffer fools very well and most usually would find a witty way to draw someone's attention to their indiscretion.cofisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12288930899340581141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5519730979520649673.post-87756082728073190562011-09-27T15:44:56.215-04:002011-09-27T15:44:56.215-04:00It does not alwaysstop with age or experience sadl...It does not alwaysstop with age or experience sadly. <br /><br />It's still nice to find good kind people out on the river.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11941989069497229867noreply@blogger.com
