Forget the damage to vehicles (slashed tires, broken windows, etc) and the rude people who fish right on top of you when you they see you catch even one fish. What worries me most is the threatening/dangerous ones. The drunks in boats, the drunk bank fisherman that threatren to beat the .... out of you and your wife (this has happened twice while bank fishing). I called the police in both cases. In one case no one ever showed up (They said they were very busy), even after several calls . In the other the police talked to the individuals and then came up and said they were not moving and I should just leave. The people who come along and cast across your lines, cut them and then fish in the spot where you were fishing. Bass anglers in tournaments that will 'tell' you they are going to fish your spot They run over your lines with their trolling motor and say they 'warned' you. I was out last summer in the boat and a drunk came by us and started circling us. After a couple passes they started taking their empty beer cans, filling them in the lake and throwing them at us. I got the boat registration number and called the water patrol. They said they would be there as soon as possible. My wife and I waited 2 hours and they never showed.

Now some of these are major concerns and some less of a problem but when you are approaching 70, have a bad heart any of these issues is threatening. I am like most of you guys, I get very upset and what to holler, scream and pound someone BUT I can't do that. I have to stay calm. After a bad day on the lake I spend a couple days feeling terrible, erratic heart beat and am laid up until it settles down. There is no sense having a heart attack over this. I miss my fishing very much BUT I am still alive.

I hate it that there are people like that but like an above poster said there is karma an I believe also they'll get their just desserts.

If I had your health issues an it made me that upset to the point of getting sick or worse, I would consider quitting.........I wish I knew the answer

I don't get how things like this are generally unheard of by 99.99% of people but one has multiple instances. Maybe people pick their fights wisely, I don't know.

I bet you could be happier and more peaceful moving to another cove.

But If you are considering hitting them ... I good with it

Yeah I'm trying to remember seeing/hearing anyone ever giving anyone else an overly hard time while launching/loading/fishing, and I'm having trouble remembering any. Other than a guy screaming at his wife cuz her trailer backing skills weren't up to par.

Where exactly is this area where everyone is having trouble getting along ? Is it just on Stockton?

Weird!

alittle over a year ago at highpoint, me and a guy from my church went fishing. he backed me in and parked the truck, he said that he got the trailer a little crooked, when we got back my trailer had been turned completely sideways, so he straightened it out and we loaded the boat and headed back toward springfield on 123, there is a sharp corner before you get to 215 for morrisville and my trailer came unhooked. thank the Lord for safety chains..i found my pin that was locking my hitch in the back of my truck..

wrench alot of the trouble on stockton is because Dade Couny is full of meth heads. Crap bout 4 years ago the house 3 down trom mine blew up from a meth lab. it blew the solid core back door 75 feet across the back yard and through a privacy fence. it was a rock house and it bulged the walls out, the dumbazz jumped my fence and before he could get half way across the yard my ole mt. dog had him nailed and on the ground lmbo!!!!!

For what it's worth, the Cedar County Sheriff was patroling Crabtree Cove Saturday.

Watch each others back. Straw Hat I have heard Dade County only has ONE patroling deputy.

Good Luck!

[fishinwrench]

Lots of propaganda about "meth heads", they get blamed for everything that turns up missing.

There are plenty of people that do meth around here too and contrary to popular thought they are the hardest and best workers around.

Ain't nothing lazy about a person on speed!

I hired one to help me swap a transmission in my truck and he was like a freakin' machine. No tools came up missing and he hasn't been back to steal props off boats or anything else.

The real thieves are probably glad everyone is pointing fingers at the speed junkies.

This discussion is going to hell in a heartbeat.

Put in at masters with dad yesterday evening they were patrolling so that good.
