Why all the rods
Everytime I'm at the pier, there are rods leaningalong the rail....That really doesn't bother me till I decide to fish there, then someone(pier regular)comes and tells me thats there spot....of coarse that doesn't work (how can it be your spot when I'm standing there?)
What really pisses me off the most.....in the heat of battle with a nice fish(cobe,king)these rods don't move by there owners, sometimes the one in battle has to try and step over them when fighting the fish,or are moved by other good people,helping in the task of landing a fish.
I will lean my rod along the rail, but I will be standing by it, I have watched for a few minutes before I go and fish a spot with a rod leaning... just incase someone went to there cooler for something to drink or bait(what ever)
It seems the whole end is this way.I keep my rods in the holder of the pier cart when not in use....When a fish is seen those spots fill up quick and your rod doesn't save a thing!!!
Don't ask me to move!!! stay in your spot if you want it....or just move down alittle
if you would not like to deal with any of this fighting a fish, then don't do it yourself, and if rods along the rail save a spot..... I will bring all of mine and have to whole end to myself.....atleast the east side around the corner( I would look like the guy on the tvcommercial fishing for everything)
I'm not trying to start a big thread here, or pissing match.....just have some common courtesy with your fellow angler(googan too!!!!ME)...I will be the one with the zebco 33, or snoopy rod...:doh
