Ha....I just joined and am reading this particular topic.
Respect and common sense are the only reasonable way to go. I do believe both of those are in short supply and even though I agree that most people are well intentioned, more and more people seem to be rude and inconsiderate.
I havent fished in at least 4-5 years, although each year I swore next year would be different.
I like to go to Lake Springfield and watch the fisherfolk along the banks. I have never seen any arguments,,,although a few grumblings have been heard.
The only problem I have seen is when folk from other countries come with 4-6 people and often with 2 poles each and they fan out and cast their line and dont even bother to say hello to the person already fishing there. Even then, most people tend to just go with the flow and fish on.
I want to try Fellows, especially since a buddy said near a discharge area might be good. Now I read about the lake and the problems with boaters and over all sense of hastle, I am not sure. Probably back to L.Springfield. Id like to go down below the dam. Thats the place I have usually been lucky.
There is a lot of water along side the back roads but it is so steep that I dont think it would be easy to access.
I have always been a bank man and it is true how hard it often is to find a place that is decent. Too many signs with a wagging finger OR a place is so trashy with junk OR there are many hooks and line in the water that every cast is snagged.
Anyway, live and let live, enjoy that youre able to get out. Maybe theres a monster next cast, right?
I really want another bank man to buddy with.
Lake Springfield again, I guess, after all those nonfishing years.
I have a special bait I am going to use and no one Ive talked to has ever tried it....wish me luck, my brothers and sisters. I am excited to talk with other fisher folk.
