thumper,
let me add a little more to the story, sometimes my fingers don't type as fast as my mind is telling them to, so parts of my story don't make it in there.
the spot to fish from is only about 15 feet in length, standing to far above or below this 15 foot area, your not fishing the hole, i was standing in the lower part of the 15 feet so the only quality part of the fishing hole that was left was upstream of me, which is high and dry. the guy did start fishing there, but only made a few casts. he was fishing spinners i was fishing bobber and bait. two of his cast went blatantly across my line causing a massive tangle both times, and i didn't say anything to him about that. so i don't feel to bad for what i did. i could have been real mean and nasty, but i wasn't, i don't think it's in me, i was very polite and gave the guy every oportunity to fish a quality part of the hole.
