![]() 101 for the really new guys, try & visualize where someones lines might be and dont cross over them.. On some packed days it really helps out to use a little common sense.. if your driving on top of a guys flylines, he wont get bit.. i give a yell sometimes to others, and ask em' "what rig u running?" & "how far back" out of common courtesy.. take current into consideration also..I personally wont drive up into a guys "zone" and will paddle completely around him to get to my desired destination.. ![]()

I agree with Wade, it is not only the lines but the fishing area behind someone trolling or drifting with a flylined bait that you should be careful of. Particularly when you are new to paddling (slap chopping) and/or when the

Here's one; stay away from the party boats. That includes the chumm line off the stern and the free fly iron zone off the bow. I know they come in on us but don't play tit for tat. I've seen guys so close to the stern of the New Seaforth poaching thier chumm line. That makes all of us look bad. Mike

Thanks all for the replies. Hopefully I won't make too much of a hash of it when I venture out of the bay. Now to scratch up a case of modelo and find that darkhorse guy.....
See you guys out there. ![]() |

. . . . . . . . . . For the record: When fishing with new clients---the beer stays on ice until a Yellowtail or giant White Sea Bass is on deck! After that, if you so desire to celebrate the life of your trophy, I'm not going to stop ya' ![]() . . . . . . . . . . . . . As far as the original post, there's already plenty of great advice in this thread. Pretty much everything's been covered. Something that comes to mind, though, is during a squid bite---I don't mean sitting in a couple mile wide area full of squid---I'm talking about an actual bite, when every rod in the fleet starts bending in sequence like we're doing the wave at a baseball game ![]() The same way you'd communicate on a sportboat when you're coming down the rail with a fish on, work together with your surrounding anglers. Just like fishing on a sportboat, it's far better to avoid a tangle then the alternative. Ya' know, sitting there in free-spool, waiting for that guy to land his fish? I don't know about you, but that's not my idea of a good time. You're stoked if it's a deckhand or some old salt---short-pumping the Yellowtail to gaff in thirty seconds. But, if it's some guy who hasn't caught a solid fish in years---good luck! The bite could be over by the time you get out of the tangled mess. I see it all the time: guys with two rigs down, staring like a Deer in headlights as you're flying towards them. It makes no sense. I'll guess I'll add something to the typical, warm-water, fly-line trolling situations you'll find, too. Something I often see is, someone trolling right across your heading, say 100' in front of you---then they just stop and sit there. No, I don't mean they saw an epic mark on the HDS and dropped and iron. I mean stop for no apparent reason, other than making you look at them, for minutes, and change coarse. If you realize you're in this situation, though, just keep moving forward so the other guy doesn't have to change coarse. I'm sure 99% of the time this isn't on purpose. So, no harm no foul. Don't get me wrong, there's no straight lines in the ocean. Not to mention, the ocean isn't mine. Obviously. At the same time, the ocean is freakin' huge. Don't try to make it seem small ![]()
