Yeah, they could have hit you if they wanted to. Hell, if you're close enough to grab a scale, I could hit you.



Pier guys, if he was called over, OK'd, got clearance or whatever, get over it.



BUT, I'da just gone to the dock and then on to a B&T, way easier that way.

Just what I was going to say. If you pull up close enought to the pier, people don't have to target you, you are in their fishing space. Whether it's someone slinging a gotcha for spanish or someone jigging for pomps, they have to stop fishing if you drive a boat in there.

And all of this over a fish. Based on his statement it appears that the successful fisherman made a reasonable attempt to do the right thing. He asked and received permission, and don't forget that he is new to the area. He is probably not cognizant of the pier rules whether written or unwritten, he was excited to have just made such a great catch. Congratulations to him.

Let it be.

^I agree with your points, just not to the rediculous extent you took it to. Reguardless of EVERY SINGLE arguement made in defense of the throwers, it in no way justifies a jig to your boat or a jig to the head. maybe that's just me though.

Speaking of Snoopy, I'm bringing my daughter's SpongeBob rod down to try for Spanish mack sometime this week or next.

I need to add to the list of conquers on that thing.

Red Snapper, redfish and trout so far. Spanish is next, maybe a pomp if I get lucky.



Now back to the bitching.



And for the record, I've thrown at people off the pier and I'll do it again most likely. It's kind of fun.

Then feel free to disrespect yourself and your father by posting that post. Sad for this thread is all I have to say. And look back, you and your family have been defended more times than you have posted on this forum. Ask yourself this question, why are you still here? Just leave the rest of us alone and go off on your merry way. I will still recommend your father's boat in spite of your blatant disrepect of the PFF. Might I remind you that the description was a compliment to the pier fisherman. He knew you could have hit him, and was happy to escape with his skin. What is wrong with people.

Guy went to the pier to weigh a fish. Called and got "permission". It was good enough for "Jerry", why not the rest of you? Granted, I'd weighed it elsewhere, too much trouble to pull in that close to an object bobbing around. But, I get tired of the "I am GOD...I fish on the pier!!" attitude. I got news for you, not that I would put myself in that position, but, you hit me or mine with a jig....I promise, you ain't walking home on your own power. Period. Ya'll spout alot of threats. You got the easy part done....running that mouth. Got anything else???? And, yes, I am addressing JHOUGE and his fearsome friend, Freespool. Ya'll talk alot of shit. Be carefull, they is always someone willing to put up rather than shut up....

It's a sad fact that pier anglers see themselves as virtual owners of the adjeacent water, giving them a free pass to directly threaten someone like that. It's terrible.

I would truely love to meet these people and see if they have the same tough guy attitude they do throwing a jig from 100 yards and shouting a bunch of words.

ok here I go again....i swear I didn't want to do this...nobody is getting it ...I do not fish for cobia...I saw a fish on the sandbar swimming DIRECTLY AT MY BOAT! Tell me, those of you who have a problem with me catching the fisk: what would you have done? If you saw me, you would know that I had anchor-in-hand, getting ready to go eat and drink the afternoon away. This was a freakin accident...dumb luck...but you act like I was intentionally cutting you off...what a joke. How bout I sit on that bar every day until the cobes quit running? If I was a cobia fisherman, I might just do that...yea, park my ass a half mile up the beach just to piss you off...hmmm...NAH, that is something an idiot would do, and as I said before there are more important things than a fish.

As for the kid that I offered 150 bucks to confirm who it was...I didn't need you. Somebody else took me up, and for a lot less, so thanks buddy:letsdrink!

I got em id'ed anyway by the video...now it's a matter of what I think should be done, if anything...after all, no one was hurt (except the pride of those big bad fishermen:reallycrying).

Kenny is right, this is stupid. If you are so hurt by me catching a great fish, one that I would NEVER have a prayer of catching unless by sheer freakin luck, then lemme know where you are gonna be and I will give you the damn meat. Wouold that make it all better?

As for me pulling up to the pier: some stated that there is a law against that...I assumed that to be the case...I said so in my original post...I also said that I will gladly pay the ticket if someone wants to complain to the law about it...it was a one-time thing that did not hurt you or your fishing, and I only did it bc I was told it would be okay. Go cry to the pier if you wanna cry about it anymore.

I'm done.

Fish on!

Um i really dont care how good you are with casting accuracy your gonna make mistakes... and when your not trying to hit something guess what the mistake is..... hello.

As for my oppinion NICE CATCH!
