So this afternoon I fished Little Bay with 2 friends, the area know as the gutter. We got there about 3pm with the intentions of having our lines in the water by quarter past. Blah blah blah....we didn't end up with lines in the water until 4. We were about 45 mins in, a couple of bites, when group of fellas with rods came down to our spot. There arsed around for a few minutes setting up rigs and looking for spots and I asked them how they were doing. Between their atrocious excuse for english and their native language mutterings to each other, I figured they had been lucky on the fish the previous week at the spot we were fishing. I wished them good luck, and cast back out into the wash.
They moved about 5 metres away from us, and cast their own rigs in. What happened next, I could not believe. My friends stepped back from the ledge to gather our stuff because there were a few people there now, and cast by cast, the other fisherman encroached on where we were fishing. When I reeled in, I realised they were standing bloody shoulder to shoulder with me. Fair enough I thought. I have read a thread in here that states that experienced fishermen can fish shoulder to shoulder without tangling lines, I'm an awful fisherman, but I'm sure I'll manage this I thought.
I re-baited and set up to cast. The fella to the right cast straight ahead, then to my amazement, the fella on my left cast to the right side too!!! WHAT THE FRIGGIN HELL. B**TARD!!!! It left me literally no room to cast at all. BULLS**T I thought. I picked up my gear and left before I threw a cunji at one of them.
The worst thing is (any of you that fish the gutter will understand) that there are 2 goddamn sides to the place. And being dead low tide, the other side was practically dry. AND is actually better for fishing.
My mates were hardly dressed for fishing out in the bay so they were more than glad to leave the fishing to these un-Raider like fellas, (For fear of being banned I won't comment on their nationality) but I think I need new friends who actually enjoy
