For what it's worth, it was very crowded this weekend and the sporties have to fish somewhere. I was actually glad they fished where they did because they were not on the generally "hot" wsb spots and did a great job drawing the pesky furbags. I have also on occasion forgot how much further one can throw an iron from the deck of a boat and consciously try to expand my buffer zone around them, particularly off their stern.
It's the deliberate turns to run AT a yak that are really unforgivable. I suspect that after a day of doing poorly, the capt and a mate are up there going "hey, lets go buzz a yak for fun".
On a side note, I almost got run over by what I think was Vessel Assist the other night. Idiot was doing 20 in the dark through the kelp. Clearly did not see my little light and I had to paddle like mad to get out of his way. Yelled at them on 16 and 18 and they slowed down and turn out to sea after that.
