Yeah, there's alot of grumpy people out there. There's alot more greed and idiots too. Been fishing the Chehalis/Satsop the last couple weeks. Hit one of my honeyholes on the Chehalis and start hitting fish. Alot of friendly guys coming buy saying good job or nice fish. But they are regulars that Ii see alot. Then what happens? You get the guys with 30k boats seeing you catch fish and shorthole you. Even worse, they try to screw up your fishing. Here's my story from last weekend.

Was fishing one of the rivers on the Cchehalis system. Was hitting fish casting into a slot. Guess what hapens? Some guy in a sled has been watching me and wants a part of the action. Does he wait for me to leave or anchor near the slot to get in action? NO. He lowholes me, he actualy ANCHORS into the slot I was throwing my lures. A few choice words and he refuses to move. I don't mean he anchors like 20 yards from me, more like 20 feet when there's miles of open river to fish. I'd never do that. Funy thing is he tried to be smart by doing what he did, but ended losing so many plugs/spinners because he didn't know the hole and didn't catch a thing while I threw right next to his boat and hit fish. Only problem is I had to use my stouter rods (which I hate using) so I could muscle the fish in so I woldn't snap off in his anchor line. I want to play the fish, not hook andwinch in. Lluuckily he got discoruaged and left. But he did this for 3 DAYS in a row!!!!!! Oh wel....
