Wasn't quite sure how to handle this situation today!!
I was fishing at my secret lake this morning all by myself. Lake was like glass, very peaceful and quiet waiting for a bow to take my bait.
A car comes down the road to the ramp and a gentleman steps out (65-66). Not old as I turn 61 in a few days.
He starts talking and never shuts up!!!! Gets his spot set up and starts bobber fishing. Still talking.
He then begins to tell me how he fishes this lake almost every day of the week while his wife is in school in Mt Vernon.
He has all day to fish until he has to pick her up and drive back to Oak Harbor.
He explains how he usually catches at least 3 limits of fish and sometimes up to five in a day.
He tries to give all the trout away to people who show up and fish during the day. If he can't give it away he hides it in his car and takes home whatever he caught for the day.
I left after 1/2 hour of this man talking without ever shutting up!!
The talking part doesn't bother me as I can just leave and go fish somewhere else where it is quiet and relaxing.
What does bother me is the fact that this person has no respect for the laws and the limits.
What would you do in this situation??
Next time I run into this fisherman I think I will take down his license plate # and the make and model of his car and report him to fish and game.
Should I warn him of what I am going to do to try and stop him? I don't want a confrontation. Jeez I'm just out relaxing.
Your thoughts??
