1145

Fought through the boat launch lines (trucks parked for blocks in both directions, spilling out of the launch) and launched about noon.

Some dickheads in a drift boat started casting at my inflatable because I was getting tossed around by the wind and started to drift into the huge spot they were trying to claim, right next to the launch. I took out my headphones and asked what they said after they cast a foot from my craft and they dropped the tough act. It's too bad that supposed grown men act like that. I know the rules, I wasn't encroaching on their spot, I was obviously struggling to get my bearings after dodging the launch traffic and they had a 360 degree choice of where to cast while I cruised past. I know how to share the river during salmon season, I practice proper etiquette when fishing.

Drop the tough guy act. You're at a kiddie pool filled with triploids, you're not at a honeyhole on the Snoho. Sorry you can't manage to pull in any wild fish in your driftboat and resort to this, but next time you should think twice before committing reckless endangerment (yes, intentionally throwing weighted treble hooks at an inflatable is a felony) because you want to look tough in front of your obese fishing buddy.

Out of the dozens of boats and the packed shoreline I saw 1 fish landed. My advice is hit Greenlake, way more fish and access points. Especially because that dude always parks his Saturn at the boat launch and fishes right next to it.

Wow! Sounds like a tough day. Sorry to hear it was such an ordeal. Part of the reason I try to stay clear right after the stocking. Way to many weirdos out there.

Wow! I am sorry to hear that. I am not really surprised. I went by that lake a couple of days back. It was about like how you describe. A bunch of disrespectful people who know nothing about fishing etiquette or anything. I hope your other fishing experiences are better. I was fishing from the shore in the weeds and still someone came right up next to me and starting casting. I had a little one with me too. They were catching em pretty steady but not worth the craziness. I hit up Tye lake today. It was so nice. I had a quite little corner to fish in. Some boats on the water.

Yeah Raft man, did'nt you realize that what was once PUBLIC lakes, has now become PRIVATE lakes & Rivers by all the D**K Heads out there. Many of US true "Sportsmen " are as fed up with jerks bad behavior as you are. WHATS happened to common courtesy nowadays? Cant we all just get along???

Yeah - it was pretty bad the day before too. I got there at sunrise. Had 1 line out & was hooking another up. 4 Chinese fellas walked up together, hijacked my spot & cast right over the top of my other line. Literally pushed me out of the place I had all set up before anybody was there. I agree... Greenlake you'll catch for sure and far fewer people (that's where I'm heading in about 45 minutes!)

Jesus Christ- learn the fucking language. These things at the end of sentences are called periods. You use this thingy here, ?, at the end of sentences that are things called questions. Now that we've got the basics down, let's go ahead and dissect your dimwitted redneck reply.

#1 headphones do not cover your eyes. They are for ears. This doesn't hamper your ability to see, since those are done with eyes. (we can get to what those are later)

#2 "Playing darts" with an inflatable craft is akin to shooting out tires on the freeway of a small car. You can cause catastrophic failure to a watercraft and thus it is reckless endangerment when done on purpose, which you have proven is the case with your verbiage. You committed a felony and gave me written proof of intent. You are very lucky you didn't hit me or my raft. I am reporting this to the police, as I got a photo of your vehicle and license plate, along with you guys in the drift boat and you two deserve to be arrested for this behavior and shouldn't be allowed to have a fishing or hunting permit again.

#3 You turds were anchored 20' from the busy boat launch and were claiming it as your spot. How am I supposed to "practice controlling your boat in the wind" when you basic-ass fatasses are right at the launch (right where they dumped the fish, sure takes skill to catch them there, doesn't it, Bubba?)

In summary: you two are everything that is wrong with fishing in the NW.

This is the main reasons I like to stay away from opening days and hot fishing days, sure it is fun to catch fish right almost every cast, by not worth fighting the crowds coz arguments just hard to win. I can't believe it the issue would end up on the site. WOW...

this is nothing new for Beaver, I've had buddies get straight lead launched at their boats from guys on shore, with kids in the boat no less. I've had guys go park themselves right next to my little guy and cast right over him. then they act like they don't speak a lick of English when confronted, apparent "get the f@#* away from my kid" is understood by everyone. We bailed that particular day. Problem is these jerks act like this cause they get away with it. Shameful. For STOCKED trout no less. They should be embarrassed, but you have to have integrity to be embarrassed, so they'll just keep being morons. Sorry you had that experience, but don't give up, there are more good guys than bad guys out there for sure. let's make sure we take our kids and friends fishing and increase those numbers of good guys and reinforce good etiquette in the process.
