Heard there was a fist fight on the Lanark Beach by an esteemed tarpon guide and someone. Heard there was another confrontation at CIS by another esteemed tarpon guide and a coworker. It's not even June yet

Hope it was not a BBF member having fisticuffs on the flats at Lanark

Wasn't me.

I was home this weekend. But I've certainly been tempted. The carpetbaggers and interlopers think they have exclusive rights to my fish.

Going to be a long summer, especially with more boats coming in from the west.

Looks like I am going to have to set up a JT hole patrol.

I had one approach me on Saturday at WOT he turned off about 30 yards away. I'll either have my flare gun or video camera handy next time. It’s gotten crazy over there lately and it seems to be the guides that migrate up this way along with the fish. A few of the local guides have been polite and actually ask if I minded them setting up close by. FWC or Marine Patrol needs to step up and start policing that area before someone gets seriously injured.

I heard that the FWC was patrolling TP last year after some folks exchanged pleasantries on the water

I get this a lot from the tarponettes when I am chasing MY reds and MY trout around the Lanark spit.

I don't care who you are, that's funny right there!

Can hear it now... a marriage between Rick Flair's trademark "WOOOOOOOO!", and Taylor Hick's soul patrol... "WOOOOOOOO! I'm on JT's hole patrol!!! WOOOOOOOO!"

Aaaahhhhh, the douschbaggery has begun. Anybody here thinks they have it bad, it's worse for me. When I'm out there staked out in my kayak, I get less respect than a crab trap buoy.

Time for someone to post proper fishing/boating etiquette. I would do it, but I don't know any.

True I avoid crab trap bouys like the plague I have never had a kayak wrapped around my prop.

Did you mean PLAGUE?

Aint that what he said
