[quote Huntsman]Thanks Belasko....
As I've stated numerous times, I'm more than happy to step back off a hole, or run, to let others who've not caught fish have a chance. Even if I'm the one that, "does ANYTHING" to catch fish such as be on the bank a couple hours before most get out of bed.
Biigfish....
I also agree with you whole heartedly, that when salmon fishermen are lined up on a hole, they are scrutinized. My observation is that those who do the most whining are the ones who fail to catch fish, while others on the same stretch of water are hooking fish after fish.
I also agree that it's the choice of every angler to use whatever gear "tickles his fancy", whether it's drift gear, a fly rod, bobbers, plunking, or a float. But at Tate same time, if a guy waltzes onto a hole where everyone is drift fishing, and proceeds to throw a bobber, there's going to be contention, just as if the tables were reversed.
My whole intention on starting this thread, was to be mindful of the other anglers...
Avery, Untangler, or anyone else for that matter, if you wanna hop out of your sled and fish with me, or either of my son, Justin D., or Andrew T. Huntsman, then all you have to be is courteous, just as you'd expect us to be.
I don't believe that's too much to ask.......[/quote]
I agree with you that those people who aren't catching are often the ones who are frustrated/whining. At the same time I don't think anyone is comfortable rubbing elbows with one another, that's why I don't fish high profile areas, even if I do get there before anyone else, because regardless, people will move in, and as you mentioned with your bobber fisherman in a drift fishing hole, disrupt the peace. I would much rather fish an average hole with a few guys than fish the popular holes with 10 guys from every county. Then again, I'm much more concerned with enjoying myself than catching fish at all costs. Fishing is a stress reliever for me, no need to battle the swarms. That's also why I have a drift boat as well.
